[sirenia319]

[TheBaskerman]

excelente

[guillotinedeath]

Michael Kiske best vocalist EVER bitches!

[S1LVERHELL]

Michael Kiske is the Best!!!!!!!!!!!

[Prosopagnosia11]

there was another vocal range video of Kiske that shows he has 4 octaves (B1 - B5) but the video is now gone

[DoubleOKevin11]

Favorite singer of all time

[guitarshism]

people say his range is C2-A5 but i'm sure he can go lower.

[zorland876]

@guitarshism Actually its C#2, but his the lowest he's sung is E2.

[Aztlnight]

this guy is awesome.... but better than ian gillan??? i don't think so.....

[winterbringer]

@Aztlnight They're both excellent singers! It's kinda tough to decree who is the better... Ian Gillan is a legend! That's for sure! Michael Kiske is the unforgotten singer of one of the best power metal band... In my opinion, Bruce Dickinson and Geoff Tate should deserve an honourable mention too!

[dkdadlh]

@winterbringer i agree with you..especially for bruce dickinson xD

[hermygagala]

@winterbringer What about Dan McCafferty, John Lawton, Rob Halford, Paul Dianno, Tim (The Ripper) Owens?

[hermygagala]

@hermygagala Ronnie James Dio, Mike Starrs, Burton Cummings...ETC... I mean Ian Gillian and Michael Kiske are Gods too but you gotta mention these guys too. As well as the previous one's I mention. Anyway great video and Michael Kiske is very underrated to my mind.

[winterbringer]

@hermygagala They're all great singers! I'd add Geoff Tate and Freddy Curci too! Currently I've been cramming for my exams, but I'll take those names into consideration when I have some free time...

[Metalpefki]

Michael you're the best!!!

[onepolej]

i think his range C2-A5 which is right betwwen 3 and half and 4 octaves.

[tkdliron]

how many octaves??

[MrDan040686]

man what a voice so powerful and strong and versatile at the same time forever kiske the king of the great singers long live the king

[greekcinema78]

great songs from a great band

[winterbringer]

...with a great singer! :-)

[greekcinema78]

apsolutely.....

[twosidesofevil]

His voice is great, excellent. listen to this high notes i get surprised every time i listen to it o_o.... love kiske :3

[winterbringer]

There's no doubt... Kiske has got one of the most versatile voices I've ever listened to so far...And, what a piece of news!!! I've recently heard that he has made up a new band: "Unisonic"... I do think I'll get their album... :-)

[loreenakiske]

i love michael kiske forevaa

[fcsilva2003]

Kiske nowadays it's the beast

[Tarantinomaniac]

Here's Geoff Tate: /watch?v=VqWeBteIV9s and /watch?v=9WW_zgrWwtc

Here's Hansi Kurch: /watch?v=Wjm17n6SyEE and /watch?v=vAjFH8fBUgo

[Tarantinomaniac]

Kiske hits an A5 in the harmony in "Someone's Crying"!

[winterbringer]

You're right... But it's in harmony, the lead vocal line is F5 as I pointed out. In my videos I left out all the harmonized vocal lines... For example, Bruce Dickinson (go and see my video about him) hits C5 in Flash Of The Blade but I didn't point it out at all, though in the lead line he hits A4.

[Tarantinomaniac]

I can understand that, but this is Kiske's highest note, so I would think it would deserve some sort of mention.

[winterbringer]

Undoubtedly A5 represents his highest note ever! Thanks for the tip...

[Tarantinomaniac]

Yes, well, you included the clip with his highest note ever, so it was just a suggestion on my part that you make a mention of that in the info.

[winterbringer]

Tarantnomaniac who are your favourite singers? I take the opportunity of thanking you for the suggestion.

[Tarantinomaniac]

One of my all-time favorites is Joey Belladonna on Anthrax, but only on the Spreading the Disease album and Armed and Dangerous EP. I don't know what happened to his voice on Among the Living and after, but it was never the same. Other favourites include Freddie Mercury, Bono, Ian Gillan, Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio. Also, I haven' t heard much of his music, but I'm astounded by Daniel Heiman's singing just from what I hear in Jowox's video on his high notes.

[juanprc10]

Kiske to this day is the best metal singer I have ever heard, really unmatchable, especially live.

[emiblindside]

Finally I have understood kotipelto's origins

[winterbringer]

Timo Kotipelto's and Michael Kiske's ways of singing are very similar... Two great singers... Among my favourite ever...

[LostprophetMETALStar]

My personal fav. singer is The Metal God Rob Halford and than King Diamond.

But gotta love Barlow, Kotipelto, Kiske, Gillan, Dickinson, Lee Roth, Lynn Turner, Coverdale, Kakko, Mercury, Dio, Sebastian Bach, Staley and other great voices!!!!

Metal created the best vocalists ever!

[peterdpl]

Man, and André Matos?

[winterbringer]

André Matos is surely one of the greatest metal singer ever and I promise you I will make a video collection about his vocal-hits as soon as I can...

[elchponex20]

kiske es la mejor voz del mundoo

[kibadanghi]

no sabes cuanta razon tienes

[wizaex93]

es verdad y actualmente su voz suena mejor aunque no lo creas aunque ya no cante en una banda de power metal su voz actual suena o igual o mejor que hace 18 años

[dwide581]

Kiske é foda, mas ele em si é um bosta.

[nnkyt]

Wow, nice researching work and very well done editing. :))

Personally, what I like most, are those 'E5 melodies' :P I'm just in love (lol) with that.

Those E5's (and F5's) at Future World, Helloween, Dr. Stein, We got the Right, Save us!!! (this I like most), March of time ("Never stop yes Time..." -the 2nd one-), "Sometimes we need to be ..." :$ sorry, I Want Out, Mankind, and AAAAAAAAAAAAA Yap!! :$ The Chance :p :$ :p

Cheers!!! :))

[winterbringer]

Thanks for your comment! You're right, the melodies that Michael Kiske sang in the "Keepers' years" were really amazing!

[Mandilore]

Michael Kiske sounds like Geoffe Tate(Queensrchye) and James Neal(Malice) put together.

[enorma29]

kiske is the fucking best heavy metal singer ever... sorry dickinson, halford, dio, it's true (but not tr00) xD

[winterbringer]

It depends on several factors... Kiske is surely one of the mest metal singers ever but if you consider the middle-high range Dickinson is far better 'cause he's got a powerful voice...

[arryanpath]

What are the E5,E4,D2,D5,A4,A3 and all these weird stuff next to the songs??

[winterbringer]

Well, I pointed out the highest note or the melody concerning the highest notes that Michael Kiske reaches in each song.

/ means the switch from one note to another;

- means two different clips from the same song.

For example, "I'm Alive: F#5" means that note is the highest of the song.

[arryanpath]

Oooooh. Thanks for the info. And nice compilation. Kiske is one of the best vocalists in Metal scene indeed.

[winterbringer]

You're welcome my friend... Thanks! Kiske is surely to be pointed out among the best metal singers...

[doobs102]

Kiske should not count as a metal singer man he hates it.

[Laurita77777]

Michael Kiske es la voz mas hermosa, impresionante e impecable sobre el planeta tierra....KiskeGOD

[ZeboKiedis]

great vid, one of the greatest.. hail kiske!!

[winterbringer]

Kiske is by right in the singers' hall of fame...

[dogfoodnyc]

If I can only have Kiske's voice for one day.... woot!!!

Great Vid!

[winterbringer]

I do think you're not the only who has that wish!!! :-)

[PhantonW3]

Michael Kiske... Hes my Helloween Hero!

Hes so great =)

[winterbringer]

No doubt, he's one of the greatest singer worldwide...

[Jorgelloween]

Buen trabajo, es uan escelente recopilacion de casi todas las notas de Kiske.

saludos!

[axisundone]

It's such a shame Kiske never recorded A5 in a lead vocal, he was obviously capable of nailing it in his prime

[jowox]

another excellent video!! You have seen my kiske videos? search for kiske and octave wonder!

a shame that a live album with kiske never was released. he hits some great screams in songs like judas, ride the sky and How many tears.

dr stein has a layered G5 and someone´s crying a layered A5.

[winterbringer]

Jowox, thanks for your comment! Yes I've seen your Kiske videos. Really great!!! If you're searching for a live album with Kiske on vocals then listen to "Helloween" - "Live in the UK" (1989)... Great performance by Michael Kiske!!!

[Mandilore]

YOu still haven't replied to any of my messages.

[Mandilore]

Michael Kiske sounds just like Geoff Tate in a lot of those parts.

[winterbringer]

Michael Kiske's voice is very similar to Geoff Tate's one even if he is often compared to Bruce Dickinson...
