Funny, because he literally thought that after Iowa lol. He was like "wtf am I doing with my voice?" So he decided to take vocal lessons in both singing and screaming in a healthy way and also started to reduce his drug abuse until he finally got sober. And I'm glad he did. He tried out his newly unlocked abilities in Vol. 3

His voice was high-pitched and pure before he joined slipknot and started to scream very much. Now he sings in a deepened and manly tone and I also like it.
When you destroy your voice like that, your voice gets deeper because of the damage you are doing to your vocal chords. If he never joined to the Slipknot, he was probably going to sound like on 1992 demos.

Corey is one of the few metal singers that I like without them using heavy distortion. His normal voice is so raspy that just a bit of stylistic raspiness is enough to make him sound badass.

@@frankriley6060 ik this is 2 years ago But why are you on this video if you can't stand his voice. Its a video that's mainly about Corey's voice, so obviously it's going to show Corey's voice alot in his video.
This man is right behind Mike Patton for the biggest vocal range in music... That is INSANE!!! I never thought someone would come that close to Patton. I get it though, Corey is a PHENOMINAL vocalist.
CT is a tremendous singer but the idea of him having a nearly 8 octave range is just laughable. NOBODY has that range. His real range based on having listened to countless songs is probably more in the range of 3 and a half to 4, which is good. Fry during the early hours of the morning and falsetto doesn't count as being part of someone's range.
There are quite a few mistakes with this video, unfortunately. A good majority of the 1st octave notes and lower 2nd octave notes are either Corey talking, which doesn't count at all, or Anders Colsefni, Slipknot's past singer, doing vocals on Slipknot's first demo album. I'd say for the actual real notes I've heard in here, Corey's range is really about E2-E5, with a B flat 6 exclamation that sounded pretty legit (it sounded legit enough to possibly be head voice, but I'm not a vocal expert, so I'm not completely sure, lol). The strangest part of this video is it seems Corey's voice used to be significantly higher-pitched back in the Stone Sour demo days. I'm wondering what led to such a drastic voice change, because it hardly sounds like the same person, lol.
+Monica LW improper technique to get that growl often, smoking, boozing, living the rock star hard living. since he's cleaned up his range has been improving but he still comes up a little flat in the 5th octave.
It has been confirmed that corey taylor has a vocal range of 5 and a half octaves, the second highest in all popular music, beaten only by mike patton. These are the facts.
Enrico Rocca It depends how you meassure vocal range. It all depends when musical useful notes are useful. There is a lot of arguments about peopke's vocal range that I'm confused. One says that Mariah Carey's vocal range is 5, some that it isn't and it's only 3 octaves. Well 🤔
Because he can't use chest past there so it's only head voice which is significantly weaker compared to his beastly chest voice. I am suprised he can drag his chest through the fourth octave, most baritone's end way earlier than that.
Oh yeah, I know about that. It's just that his head voice is weaker than a fair amount of other singers I've heard, like Chris Cornell (See the song "Jesus Christ Pose"), who has a stellar upper ranged voice. Corey is still very good though, don't get me wrong.
***** Yeah he's great. Cory is still fantastic but you have to remember, he is naturally a bass - baritone. So not only is it amazing he can reach those notes at all, but the fact he gets his chest voice as high as he does is crazy.
What do you mean "former" ? Taylor has always been Slipknot's singer.... I mean, yeah, there was Anders in '95 but he never sang for Slipknot (in terms of recording an album etc).. At 2:57 is Corey singing the song "gently" found in their Iowa album..
Actually I think you are right.. Taylor was already with the band since '97 (4 years before Iowa was released) but these vocals, I believe, belong to Anders.. His voice was able to go lower than Corey's (at least on this song).. Plus, the song was originally recorded in 1995 if I'm not mistaken, so it couldn't have been Taylor.. He just second-sang it xD
yeeh, the uploader's mistake :v , which I know there's only one demo for gently and that one is from anders, the iowa is of course corey, if there's another demo, damn share the link to listen to it jajaj
there sure are a couple on youtube if you look for them :P but still, personally, no matter how much I love Taylor's vocals, "gently" sounds so beautiful when it's sung by Anders :$ ^_^
@@drangue4733 Yeah I'm not really sure and I'm not so familiar with the Dramatic Tenor vocal fach. His voice is too thick sometimes but he sings metal so he wants to sound like that... Idk lol.
29:29 Not only is this not Corey Taylor, he wasn't even IN Slipknot when that song was recorded. That clip is a sample, and it's on Slipknot's Gold Disc in 1997 (Track 6: "Only One") which was only distributed to record labels, radio stations, and friends of the band. The growl that comes afterwards (that goes like "Only..." before the clip ends) was their current vocalist Anders Colsefni. This link will bring you to the start of the Gold Disc's 6th track (Where the clip comes from): ua-cam.com/video/9fpRHEcQj80/v-deo.html This link will bring you directly to the clip, which is a sample (not sure where it originated, ask Craig lol): ua-cam.com/video/9fpRHEcQj80/v-deo.html Again, this song is part of a demo/record label exclusive disc that was recorded in 1997 with their original vocalist Anders Colsefni. Corey Taylor was not in the band at all when the song was recorded, and the clip that the video claims to be Corey's C#6 voice is actually just a sample that Craig found and put onto the track. EDIT: Many of these clips are Anders Colsefni and NOT Corey Taylor, either ripped straight off of M.F.K.R. or from other demos. This is disappointing...
Not entirely true. His range is (F1) *C2-G5* F1(Vermilion)(fry-chest mix) his lowest chest note is *C2* G5(Blotter) Everything in C1-B1 in this video can not be counted because it's vocal fry, and everything higher than F#5(G5) is screamed which doesn't count as well.
Nameless bb It's still technically a note. I'm not very knowledgeable on vocal technique. Can you explain why some parts aren't considered "true range"?
SomeGingerDude vocal fry can be counted as a part of the range only if it maintains a solid pitch. There are some mixes that are countable like that F1, and on the other side, short yelps, "woos" and inhaled screams (especially) are questionable. Same goes for screams/notes with distortion. As long as they maintain a solid pitch they're countable
SomeGingerDude not gonna lie, those E♭6s and G6s totally reminded me of Prince's singing style, but I'm not sure are they inhaled, because they kind of sound like they are Also there's a problem with disconnected range, since there are no notes in between G5-C6 (not even falsetto). Had those notes been whistles, it would have made sense but not being able to sing falsetto in 5th while doing it in 6th octave sounds fishy to me. Also that B6 is misrepresentative.
prefer noto Yes he does. Sorry to say, but his range is indeed wider than that of the mighty Patton’s. Patton may have the widest range in “popular music” but Dimash’s range is comfortably larger. And unlike Patton, Dimash can hit his highest notes with his pure singing voice (unlike Patton who uses his high pitch shrieking to hit his highest notes). So Patton rules, although he’s definitely not the only singer with a 6 octave vocal range.
Even though some of the example near the top of his range might be a stretch, it is still incredible to hear him near the end because he has such a low bottom.
I can't believe people actually compare this man's vocal range to Phil Anselmo. All respects to pantera but their entire discography is only as hard as the first album of SLIPKNOT
C2-D5 is the only part that's counted. Otherwise the average vocal range is much closer to four octaves...which is extremely rare. C2-D5 is still great though! three octaves and two notes, above the average opera singer at three octaves
Daddy Dadinson very broad generalization. Vocal range is very opinionated. I don’t know many people who don’t count clear, well held falsetto. Screams are a different story. I think if you can hold a note, distorted or not, it should count in your vocal range. That’s why I agree with you when you say this video is misrepresentative, he holds almost none of these.
I wouldn't count the earlier Stone Sour stuff. His voice has matured since then, and he probably can't hit the notes like that anymore. Still, the strength is his voice rather than his range.
appreciate the effort and all but this video could've easily been 10-15 min long btw he's my fav vocalist along with matt bellamy, layne staley, julian casablancas and chris cornell(rip...)
What is wrong with you all? Corey is an amazing singer with lots of passion. Why is it that people who criticise can't sing a note? Who cares if he can't sing very high notes! It isn’t the 80/90's after all!
Idk about anyone else but a clear C1 is definitely Bass material in my opinion. It was sustained and had volume. Also you can’t just call someone a bari because they can sing high too, he’s definitely a bass voice. He just has some range.
That's totally a baritone to me. When you hear a vocalist with such wide range like Corey Taylor, you can't tell by the notes he hit which vocal types he belongs to. You can't call someone a bass because he hit low notes, as same as a baritone, with vocalists like this. Everyone has a different opinion about this, but he sounds like a barytone to me (even when he's talking)
Voice type isn't about the range only though, it's about timbre and that word that I can't spell but it means the comfortable range for the singer. So taking these into account, Corey is a baritone. A bass example would be Ivan Rebroff, or Till Lindemann.
Mike patton and Corey taylor are absolute legends but, none of that change the fact that Dimash Kudaibergen has a vocal range of *6 octaves*. That's right, it ain't no joke. Don't take my word for it; go look him up, check his performance yourself.
Corey Taylor actually has a FIVE octave range, which is still very impressive. The singer with the world's widest vocal range in contemporary music is, indeed, Dimash Kudaibergen (what he has displayed live so far is a vocal range of 6 octaves and 2 semitones (C2 - D8), followed by Mike Patton (6 octaves and 1 semitone, Eb1 - E7). However, IMO the most impressive thing about Kudaibergen is that he ACTUALLY has that range, he sang the C2 and the D8 within a few months. (Plus he hit that D8 during a concert and it was kind of effortless, sustained and with vibrato. I absolutely don't doubt that he can even go way higher than that. According to one of his university voice teachers he actually has a 7 octave range, however, I don't trust in that. IMO it only counts when having been displayed live.) In other artists, they count all notes ever hit (no matter if on a studio record or live) throughout their whole career. It's the same thing with the famous 5 octaves singers Taylor and Rose: They could hit those very high notes in the beginning of their career and at a later point of their career, they had that lower register, but couldn't hit those high notes anymore. So they actually never had 5 octaves at the same time. However, Mike Patton is an exception, he actually had almost 6 octaves at the same time.
People who listens to music world wide and not just in America, they usually compare Mike Patton and Kyo from Dir en grey. ua-cam.com/video/q5DNAryI9g4/v-deo.html
@prefer noto biggest BS ever, sorry. He is well-supported throughout his whole range. There's a reason why so many experts and highly acclaimed voice teachers call him the best singer in the world
Of course, you can measure vocal range. But as your actual question was how THEY measure it: Wrong. They measure it wrong. ;) (Corey Taylor doesn't have a 6 octave range, it's almost 5 octaves (still impressive though)).
Counting from the lowest to the highest note in your modal register( clean chest voice ) in fact this videos are entertaining but are always wrong, they also count fry and head or falsetto as vocal range but they really aren’t.
So I read somewhere that corey taylor has a six octave range which is the same as Mike patton. Either I don't know enough about measuring octaves or that article is insanely wrong cause corey's range isn't even close in comparison lol
i just gotta say something, and i can't stand these oh this doesn't count and that doesn't babies btw, but this simply is kinda stupid, i mean i could record my son who is going to have a pretty deep voice like me probably, squeezing out a C8 as a baby and then later record him talking a solid C2 i mean wtf. Mike Patton for example had his voice all his carreer, in his early bungle demos his voice sounds as it sounds in the later days, but as for corey, he sounds like a girl in the early days and then all of the sudden booooom, chainsmoker, alkoholic, screaming like a maniac, taking steroids low voice. Im still a fan tho
@@shagstars Yup, countertenors sing in head voice. It's pribably more of an opera role than an actual physiologically based voice type. Yes, they all can sing very high (in head voice), but all of them can also sing way lower than the countertenor range in their chest voice. And usually, what voice type you belong to depends on certain qualities in your chest range (tessitura, timbre, weight etc)
His neck, and diaphragm, he always screams from his stomach up, perfect technique, he didn’t do it when he was younger though, and it put some strain on his voice. I just found out is net worth is only 10 million dollars,...Meanwhile Jay-Z and Beyoncé are Billionaires...That’s just sad. Mark “I stole Facebook from MySpace” Zuckerburg is worth 75 billion dollars...WTF? Dwayne “Ive’ never taken an acting class” Johnson was the highest paid actor in Hollywood a couple of years ago. Meanwhile the real President Donald “ 17allegations of sexual assault” Trump gets to keep being the President, while Kevin “Fired as a fake President on Netflix for sexual assault” Spacey doesn’t.

Slipknot is teenager metal lol "nu-metal" radio bullshit. The real heavy stuff you don't hear on mainstream.
@@grimmywizard and yet they both still manage to be three times the man you are lol
Now, yeah. Phil used to have hella range though. Go listen to Cemetery Gates again.
C2-D5 is the only part that's counted. Otherwise the average vocal range is much closer to four octaves...which is extremely rare. C2-D5 is still great though! three octaves and two notes, above the average opera singer at three octaves
+dust2 Because fry and falsetto aren't part of the model range or "chest voice". Chest voice is what people talk about when they discuss vocal ranges.
Daddy Dadinson very broad generalization. Vocal range is very opinionated. I don’t know many people who don’t count clear, well held falsetto. Screams are a different story. I think if you can hold a note, distorted or not, it should count in your vocal range. That’s why I agree with you when you say this video is misrepresentative, he holds almost none of these.
@@thunderstorm__8147 I included some head voice (D5) but it's more about quality. You shouldn't include low quality notes
3:52 that’s Anders
For real? ;-;
Thought it was Corey
@@puglover6113 as I said 10 months ago, yes. That’s the MFKR recording of Killers are Quiet, which features Anders.
@@squashua_ oof.. 😂 well that’s great to know
Also glad your still alive and active after 10 months 👍
Everything past about G4 sounds pitched up, not just his voice, but the instruments
through glass ending at A#4 is insanely nice
If those whistle notes suddenly sound at 2 am. I would sleep under my mom's armpit. So scary.
Can anyone make a list of the songs used here, please? :)
Kinga S its called Fry
@@octaviosilvaofficial2215 lol
Lol some of this shit isnt even his voice, I hear anders colensfi in parts
99% of this is from Corey
I wouldn't count the earlier Stone Sour stuff. His voice has matured since then, and he probably can't hit the notes like that anymore. Still, the strength is his voice rather than his range.
Can someone please make a list of all the songs here?
His voice is my fave in the word
Massa, Alberto ^^
appreciate the effort and all but this video could've easily been 10-15 min long
btw he's my fav vocalist along with matt bellamy, layne staley, julian casablancas and chris cornell(rip...)
he's amazing
That's insane.
What is wrong with you all? Corey is an amazing singer with lots of passion. Why is it that people who criticise can't sing a note? Who cares if he can't sing very high notes! It isn’t the 80/90's after all!
Here comes the range
Idk about anyone else but a clear C1 is definitely Bass material in my opinion. It was sustained and had volume. Also you can’t just call someone a bari because they can sing high too, he’s definitely a bass voice. He just has some range.
That's totally a baritone to me. When you hear a vocalist with such wide range like Corey Taylor, you can't tell by the notes he hit which vocal types he belongs to. You can't call someone a bass because he hit low notes, as same as a baritone, with vocalists like this. Everyone has a different opinion about this, but he sounds like a barytone to me (even when he's talking)
Voice type isn't about the range only though, it's about timbre and that word that I can't spell but it means the comfortable range for the singer. So taking these into account, Corey is a baritone. A bass example would be Ivan Rebroff, or Till Lindemann.
@@رزيئة "that word i can't spell"
6 octaves !!!! Amazing!!
What song is it that he sings the B6's? Phenomenal vocalist.
How is this guy a baritone? He sings c5 so easy. I'm calling him a dramatic tennor
Ming Wu that C5 doesn’t sound like him at all tho.
Kendall Watts but it is him
Kendall Watts it is, just from the 93-96 stone sour demos. He was like like 20-23?
A guy who has a C2 lowest chest note is absolutely a baritone, you can hear it just when he's talking he's a baritone, he's just extremely versatile
Benoit Baraton what Baritone subtype is he? I’d say Dramatic:
This is not his vocal range, but it’s all the notes he can usefully sing in a song, his vocal range would be the notes he can sing in modal register
all of the higher notes in the fifth octave sound nothing like him
HavoCentral they aren’t lol especially the B6 one I know who that was I just can’t remember who in the hell it is but I’ll figure it out.
They are Corey. They're from the Stone Sour demos in the 90s.
2:57 that isnt corey thats slipknots first vocalist corey wasnt in the band yet
Ghenna is one of my fav slipknot records
30:20 THAT'S NOT COREY TAYLOR WHAT
Oh yea it relly is, i got a proof, look for stone sour 1994 demo, he really had that voice
GRocket1020 it is lmao he used to be able to go really fucking high haha
What song is that?
@@viceco2682 Bertha
3:40 name this song pleeeeeease
when you're a woman that can replicate all of his vocal fry. Proud at least haha
Really?
I wanna listen to that for sure ...
A good portion of the excerpts in this video aren't Corey Taylor, they're from Anders Colsefni (Slipknot's original vocalist).
easy to explain: look the size of his neck, it's a sound usine haha
So his usable healthy clean sounding range is more like C2-A4/B4, a Light Baritone.
F#4 is the most
His voice was so high in his high school band!
Surprisingly, it was Stone Sour in 1994.
KogeROnControls I heard the demos lmao, it sounds like-well he can say it best, "I sounded like I huffed helium every day of my life"
I honestly can't decide where I like his voice more. He's so talented 👏
Mike patton and Corey taylor are absolute legends but, none of that change the fact that
Dimash Kudaibergen has a vocal range of *6 octaves*. That's right, it ain't no joke.
Don't take my word for it; go look him up, check his performance yourself.
so does mike patton?
Corey Taylor actually has a FIVE octave range, which is still very impressive.
The singer with the world's widest vocal range in contemporary music is, indeed, Dimash Kudaibergen (what he has displayed live so far is a vocal range of 6 octaves and 2 semitones (C2 - D8), followed by Mike Patton (6 octaves and 1 semitone, Eb1 - E7).
However, IMO the most impressive thing about Kudaibergen is that he ACTUALLY has that range, he sang the C2 and the D8 within a few months. (Plus he hit that D8 during a concert and it was kind of effortless, sustained and with vibrato. I absolutely don't doubt that he can even go way higher than that. According to one of his university voice teachers he actually has a 7 octave range, however, I don't trust in that. IMO it only counts when having been displayed live.)
In other artists, they count all notes ever hit (no matter if on a studio record or live) throughout their whole career.
It's the same thing with the famous 5 octaves singers Taylor and Rose: They could hit those very high notes in the beginning of their career and at a later point of their career, they had that lower register, but couldn't hit those high notes anymore. So they actually never had 5 octaves at the same time.
However, Mike Patton is an exception, he actually had almost 6 octaves at the same time.
People who listens to music world wide and not just in America, they usually compare Mike Patton and Kyo from Dir en grey.

@prefer noto biggest BS ever, sorry. He is well-supported throughout his whole range. There's a reason why so many experts and highly acclaimed voice teachers call him the best singer in the world
@prefer noto Absolute nonsense. Even his G5s are excellently supported and very resonant.
There is a reason why he is so heavily praised by experts.
I wouldn't count fry as part of the range, for example in kill pop he is not singing low at all, he just throws a random fry vocal to make interesting
Fry does count if they're melodic
Song 27:15?
29:29 and 29:34 seem to be the creepiest of all time, I really want the song titles.
+Zachery Rondo If I'm not wrong this one is a demo version of "Only One" by Slipknot.
29:34 is Blotter, but I'm pretty sure what we're hearing there isn't Corey..
Sorry Tumult not Blotter
Dr. Memes It's Corey actually.
***** Wow. Damn. I always thought it was like a recording of a baby or something. That's insane.
What's the song at 2:51?
Stone Sour unfinished
Stone Sour y la canción se llama Unfinished ;D

@@martinlotockyj9525 thanks!!!
He taught me to singggg
the notes after F5 kind of cracked me up haha
Most of those last ones were samples from movies
vc tem a lista das músicas utilizadas no vídeo?
sorry for the ignorance but, how do you measure vocal range?
Arturo zamudio morales download "da tuner lite" for android..in Google play store..very useful
Of course, you can measure vocal range. But as your actual question was how THEY measure it: Wrong. They measure it wrong. ;)
(Corey Taylor doesn't have a 6 octave range, it's almost 5 octaves (still impressive though)).
@@selmaobralic2121 🤘 Pozdrav iz Makedonije 🤘
Counting from the lowest to the highest note in your modal register( clean chest voice ) in fact this videos are entertaining but are always wrong, they also count fry and head or falsetto as vocal range but they really aren’t.
@@emanuelebelle3943 headvoice counts and fry mixed with chest voice also counts (if loud enough).
Wait... What about his work with soulfly? Bc he sings clean really low on that track
You include waaayyy too much talking in a small low voice. No way I'm including those and call that wide.
The power of neck
Song ??? 5:46
High Baritone that darkened his singing voice for Slipknot. The lowest solid notes here are Anders Colsefni.
So I read somewhere that corey taylor has a six octave range which is the same as Mike patton. Either I don't know enough about measuring octaves or that article is insanely wrong cause corey's range isn't even close in comparison lol
People I can literally sing since C0 - C5 or maby higher. What type of vocal range have I?
That range would make you a liar
@Aditya More
@Reyn Time
Good standard comments.
That responses would make you a envious.
You are a counter tenor
I highly doubt you can actually do that, but if you can that’s 6 octaves I believe
Oh wait what you meant what type. Then I have no idea
1:13 You're awful Murray, playing my... Ops! Wrong guy...;)
i just gotta say something, and i can't stand these oh this doesn't count and that doesn't babies btw, but this simply is kinda stupid, i mean i could record my son who is going to have a pretty deep voice like me probably, squeezing out a C8 as a baby and then later record him talking a solid C2 i mean wtf. Mike Patton for example had his voice all his carreer, in his early bungle demos his voice sounds as it sounds in the later days, but as for corey, he sounds like a girl in the early days and then all of the sudden booooom, chainsmoker, alkoholic, screaming like a maniac, taking steroids low voice. Im still a fan tho
I agree.
How come some of these aren't Corey????
Some of these are Anders Colsefni, the first singer of slipknot.
Versatility corey Taylor... The vocal tailor
Get pranken, all this comes from his THIC neck
Taylor is a tenor and he has a vocal range of F1-G5
No tenor in the world can have such chest resonating in C2-G2. Even for baritone everything below F2 is difficult
@@InsidiousRat This video is untrue the guy is a countertenor > the highest male singing voice, his real range is: F♯1 - G♯5 (from : therangeplanet)
@@brezhoneg9159 countertenor sings in headvoice or falsetto all the time. So anyone who hits a F5 or G5 can be counter tenor.
@@shagstars Yup, countertenors sing in head voice. It's pribably more of an opera role than an actual physiologically based voice type. Yes, they all can sing very high (in head voice), but all of them can also sing way lower than the countertenor range in their chest voice. And usually, what voice type you belong to depends on certain qualities in your chest range (tessitura, timbre, weight etc)
@@JasminGardenia that is true (even though sometimes it's hard to separate low tenors and high baritones).
18:08?
His neck, and diaphragm, he always screams from his stomach up, perfect technique, he didn’t do it when he was younger though, and it put some strain on his voice. I just found out is net worth is only 10 million dollars,...Meanwhile Jay-Z and Beyoncé are Billionaires...That’s just sad. Mark “I stole Facebook from MySpace” Zuckerburg is worth 75 billion dollars...WTF? Dwayne “Ive’ never taken an acting class” Johnson was the highest paid actor in Hollywood a couple of years ago. Meanwhile the real President Donald “ 17allegations of sexual assault” Trump gets to keep being the President, while Kevin “Fired as a fake President on Netflix for sexual assault” Spacey doesn’t.
all of the "popular" pop and rap music today honestly takes no effort and not time to make, and never consists of diversity or change. it's honestly incredibly sad
Wait...
*That noise in Gehenna is his voice?!*
yep
His range LIMITLESS
