Sebastian Bach's incredibly powerful voice needs to be heard. His high note style is generally really raspy, but it only adds to the songs he is singing. Bach has a fantastic technical ability of altering his voice between really clean and raspy singing, and his high note skills are top-notch.

Bach is a tenor with surprisingly strong lows found during his later career. His high note technique sometimes borders on non-modal screaming, but he can put a surprisingly big amount of chest into his notes too. Bach's high note singing is generally remarkable, as he can sing melody even in the upper 5th octave without sounding bad.

1. 0:00 - A solid, sung B2s from "How Long Can I Resist".
2. 0:18 - A sung B2s from "This Is Gonna Hurt".
3. 0:28 - Surprisingly strong B♭2s from "Dream Forever".
4. 0:49 - B♭2s from the cover of "C'mon and Love Me", originally by KISS.
5. 0:59 - A short B♭2s from "Superjerk, Superstar, Supertears".
6. 1:16 - C3s and one short A2 from "My Enemy".
7. 1:26 - Sung C3s and a spoken A2 from "Just One More".
8. 1:39 - A G♯2 from "I Killed You".
9. 1:43 - Couple of short A2s and G♯2s from "In an Empty Room", also with one G2.
10. 2:06 - Whispery but solid and sung G2s from "Play in the Clouds".
11. 2:27 - Somewhat fryish G2 from "Push the Button".
12. 2:32 - A really weak G2 from "Fan Mail".
13. 2:43 - Two solid G2s from "Who Made You Do It (Version 2)".
14. 2:52 - A short F♯2 from "What Kind of Animal".
15. 3:00 - Awkward spoken passage from "Spider Love" bottoming around F2.
16. 3:17 - Bach's lowest note, dark spoken D2 from "Push the Button".
17. 3:21 - Time for Bach's classic high singing! The first clip has a great high D (D5) from the ending of "Slave to the Grind".
18. 3:28 - An extremely raw D5 from" Push the Button".
19. 3:42 - An impressive sustained B4 and a sung D5 from "Can't Stand the Heartache".
20. 3:58 - Amazing singing from "Livin' on the Chain Gang" with lots of D5s.
21. 4:25 - A wicked sustained D5 from "Angel Down", it touches E♭5 briefly before descending.
22. 4:38 - An emotional E♭5 from "Wasted Time"
23. 4:56 - A brutal sustained D5 from "My Enemy" sliding up to E5 at the end.
24. 5:09 - A mindblowing, lenghty E5 from "In a Darkened Room".
25. 5:30 - The classic ending of "18 and Life" topping at E5.
26. 5:45 - A very impressive F5 from "(Love Is) A Bitchslap".
27. 6:03 - A crazy E5 from "Beat Yourself Blind".
28. 6:23 - A powerful F5 from "The Threat".
29. 6:33 - Another classic note by Bach, this time being the F5 from "I Remember You".
30. 6:53 - A surprisingly clean E♭5s and F♯5s from "In an Empty Room".
31. 7:20 - A facemelting F♯5 from the intro of "Monkey Business".
31. 7:33 - Same note live, Bach accidentally overshoots the note and hits a short full G5 instead before landing on the proper pitch.
32. 7:47 - A spectacular, sustained F5 with a trill up to G5 from Bach's best vocal performance, "Quicksand Jesus".
33. 8:11 - An amazing G5s from "Livin' on a Chain Gang".
34. 8:50 - Two sustained E5s with trilled G5s from "Midnight/Tornado".
35. 9:12 - "Riot Act" with an insane sung melody around G5!
36. 9:29 - A powerful sustained E5 with a trill up to G5, the song is "Here I Am".
37. 9:36 - Bach's highest full voice note, a very chesty A5 from the demo version of "18 and Life".
38. 9:44 - Bach and Axl Rose singing "Back in the Saddle" (originally by Aerosmith) together, both going up to falsetto G♯5s.
39. 9:57 - A slide up to A5 from "Big Guns", this is full voice too!
40. 10:05 - Sebastian's highest note ever, a whistle A6 from the live cover of Blue Öyster Cult's "Godzilla".
