  • Pete Steele is probably a bass to be honest.

  • @PennyDreadful1 He is a higher bass, hence the title 'low baritone'. Basses are extremely low baritones, and Steele is kind of in-between a low baritone and a true bass (which still is an extremely low baritone voice).

  • This is an awesome mix. You guys hail from the range place forums right? Love the baritone highs. I'm nailing B4's these days. I want some pro help eventually.

  • @KCJacksonMuz Thanks. Yup, you can find us there!

    I love baritone high notes really much too, power combined with deeper timbre rocks.

  • So...you put Adam Lambert instead of Robert Plant ¬__¬

  • @GeankDOORS Yes, so? This isn't a list. Plant appears in the videos with higher notes, he sounds better while above D5.

  • @cubby3o5 Nope, Mustaine is clear example of lower tenor. He has lots of low notes in songs like "Dawn Patrol".

    Are you kidding with that Hetfield-thing? He is one of the clearest examples of baritones ever.

  • @triptrip And why is that? I included one of his best 4th octave notes in the compilation, I don't see that as disrespect.
