    Geoff Tate is a baritone with powerful, tenor-sounding highs, yet very strong lows. Fronting Queensrÿche for 30 years (before being fired earlier this year), his vocal contribution on songs such as "Queen of the Reich" and "Take Hold of the Flame" still influences metal singers around the world. While he doesn't showcase his bright head-voice as often anymore, he'll still occasionally bring out a surprising high note from time to time. His later work with Queensÿche shows a gradual change of focus to his mid-range, where he sounds more comfortable these days. His voice has certainly lowered since the days of "The Warning" - showing off many strong notes in the lower second octave (and at times, in the first octave) over the past decade or so.

      People use falsetto term for anything without knowning what it is just because its high
      I see that for Phil anselmo back in the dzy , which is totally incorrect
      Its full out

      @@sls1035 this is not ...
      Reinforced falsetto dont sound like this .
      And i think that s a bullshit term .
      Falsetto is technically a Breathy head voice .
      And support wise you dont have that full sound and spectrum, power and ..in some others case , rasp .
      You have to deliver with chest compression .
      Not a falsetto basis that ridiculous ....
      A lot of People also mistaken the piercing sound in this , Halford or even Coverdale etc.. by falsetto sound but this is not .
      This high larynx and Back up throat technique .
      The resonnance is chesty , but the "throat mould " and high larynx close up build made that piercing upper sound .
      To reach Around 4th and 5th octaves .
      Not falsetto .
      And this is also frequences that even girls in head voice falsetto in many Hard rock cover bands i saw can't hit themselves .
      Its frequences above falsetto range .

    I’m 62 and out of all the band’s I have had the pleasure to go see, as far as lead vocalist go, Geoff Tate with Queensrÿche was awesome. The man’s vocal range was / is second to none. Being blessed with a 4 octave vocal range and take it to a E-5 in any particular song and run with it without Squealing and hold it, is good ! Especially when he could do this with an encore song after singing for hours.

  • @ChatulajaeVampiros

    If he could sing those low notes with no mic and be heard at least a few meters away than yeah, he might be a baritone, often leggiero tenors have very powerful low notes and are mistaken with baritones, his color in the upper part is not the one of a baritone to me, and also in popular singing is not easy to tell your real voice type, he is amazing that's a fact.

      So? He can also hit a A1. Voice type has very little to do with vocal range. Ian Gillan for example is also a baritone and can hit a G#5 in full head voice. There are plenty of baritones who can go that high and plenty of tenors who can't.

    • @flassk7

    • @unknownuser7849
      @unknownuser7849 6 лет назад

      Scintillα Tate in his prime was light low tenor with very strong extension like Paul McCartney and devon townsend as you can see the best part of his voice is his lower 4th/upper 5th octave belts. Around after operation mindcrime, due to starting smoking, his voice dropped to a light baritone who could still sing high notes, but not with the agility of before when he was tenor which would explain why he stopped regularly belting high notes on the tours post 1988. however he tried to do somewhat of a comeback in the late 90s to try to attempt to f5s in the tours which some where better than the 88/89 versions but didn't last long. In the early 2000s is voice dropped even further to a light lyric bass baritone similar to axl rose and ville valo which took his already weakened hight notes away. Surprisingly his mid range hasn't changed at all and still sounds good in his song with anastasia. Another you can see he was a tenor early on is that his low notes early on where mostly soft with tenor like hollow sound that lacked the boominess and strength his baritone voice post '88 which the other range video of his shows best as most of his good low notes came from operation mindcrime and beyond.

    • @Antares-dw9iv
      @Antares-dw9iv 6 лет назад +1

      I really don't think so, while his voice definitely lowered a great deal and his lows have gotten stronger, even back then his lows were way stronger than what most tenors are able to pull of, while at the same time it is not uncommon for baritones to sound excellent in the upper 4th and lower 5th octave.

      Mercury really wasn't that good technically speaking. He was great at conveying emotions and quite versatile, but technically he was rather average. Tate on the other hand is one of the most technically proficient singers in popular music. That really isn't much of a contest.

    Nice job capturing the range of big man Tate.
    But I would classify Tate as a dramatic tenor....not a high baritone.
    A tenor has a much higher register than a baritone.
    Also, tate's voice qualifies as dramatic in the Opera field.
    Thus he is a class "dramatic Tenor".
