some of them full, some of them not. most of them's feelings are falsetto. plant, matijevic, buckley, labrie, kiske are very very cool.

@darkdark123 The ones that are full as far as I can tell are Plant, LaBrie, Toshi, Cornell, Chang, Heimanand maybe Khan and Halford.

Plainly, Plant's G5 had hair on its chest.

[zorland876]

@ivennein I know his name is Chang Yu Sheng. Dude's got an incredibly high voice, possibly the highest nature male voice (that is still ostensibly male). Again, not "pure chest". Mixed voice.

I miss Tony Harnell of TNT in this collection. I dont know a lot about musical notation and such, but he could outsing just about anyone when it came to high notes! Just listen to 10.000 lovers by TNT. :-)

Mike Reno pulled off a monster G5 on "turn me loose" in full voice without sounding thin.
