Top 10 Vocal Performances of Mike Patton

Idea by Sherick (Zorland876):
"Last part of the top 10 performances of Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk plus various other projects) as ranked on DigitalDreamDoor (http://digitaldreamdoor.com/forum/index.php).

When I say 'top performances' I am referring to the vocals performed throughout the entire song, not just the isolated clips I am presenting. I am just showing the main/key/most impressive parts of the song for the sake of time. If you are curious or like what you hear I highly suggest checking out the tracks in their entirety to get a true feel for the vocals."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­-----------------------------
Performance highlights:

10. Patton showcases his skill to alter his singing tone, and does this with good taste. The performance showcases great amount of variety and singing techniques by Patton.

9. This song features some great low singing by Patton and after that emotional, chesty singing along the song.

8. Patton shows he can hit high notes too, and even goes up to high C (C5) at one point, really great constinency up there from a baritone!

7. This song has some of the best low notes by Patton, and he also showcases his tonal versatility by altering his voice to sound like a feminine singer.

6. Patton first showcases some of his lowest vocals ever with the grinding guitar playing in the background. First he goes down to solid A1, one of his lowest notes ever! After that he hits some inhuman falsetto screams!

5. This experiemental, eerie-sounding song features over 1 hour(!) of listening with creepy atmosphere and noises. Patton showcases his chest- and falsetto-screams here and does massive choirs of noises with his voice.

4. This is one of Patton's most powerful performances ever: he hits insanely powerful falsetto notes and also hits a chesty A4 which slides into an extremely powerful E5, amazing breath support! The song is filled with Patton's insane screams and noises.

3. Another screaming track by Patton, here he hits his highest full voice note ever (powerful G5!), and showcases some of his best screams and noises. Not the easiest song to listen to, but really impressive vocals nonethless!

2. Here Patton hits great highs and after that goes to solid lows. Chorus' high note gliding is really great, and Patton tops at E♭5 in full voice!

1. Easily Patton's best performance, the song showcases some insane breath support as baritone Patton sings like a professional operatic tenor here. The intro features an incredible high C and the song itself has many powerful high notes, and Patton makes them sound like they came from a real opera singer.

- Mayday
- Aquilas

BTW #9 is one of the most epic (and Godlike) vocal lines ever recorded

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@JeezoozeChrysler Heh, I know the feeling, personally I'm a high baritone (so a bit higher than Patton). But yes, many godly voices are baritones: Patton, Chris Cornell, Graham Bonnet, Hansi Kürsch, Geoff Tate, etc!

[JeezoozeChrysler]

is patton a baritone?

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@JeezoozeChrysler Yup, definitely!

1. I love Mike Patton's voice.

2. If you think he sounds like a professional opera singer in #1 you really don't know much about opera. It is painfully obvious he is not schooled in the techniques of opera singing.

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@ancientscars 1. Me too.

2. For UNTRAINED vocalist, he does. It definitely isn't technically close to real opera singer but it is still really impressive, especially the beginning high C.

I personally think nr. 3 is his best ever. Never heard such a powerful G5. Simply inhumane.

[TheBlackPhantom878]

@JanderStrahd i agree :/ i wish he did a song in the voice of the darkness, it would be one of the best songs ever xD

[JanderStrahd]

I got redirected here from a The Darkness video. Kind of surprised it wasn't mentioned here.

In 100 years people are going to find this stuff and be so confused when they hear things like #3

But it is amazing.

[Istari0825]

Squeeze Me Macaroni, have good vocal to (just to add one from Mr.Bungle)

[tonguegrease]

Imagine if #3 was the theme song to your life

[C0k3d]

"God hates cowards" The live version is fucking epic.Wondering why it didn't get in the list.

@BlackoutMenace He got older and maybe thought the pimp style is bad ass for his age??

[backstroin36]

Una de las mejores voces que he oido, creo que aún hay muxo que escuchar como el Disco volante, ahí hay muchos registros.
