      @@jebcar9618 It's a mix. I don't even think he uses head voice, u can hear his chest voice really faintly on the record.
      I would say it sounds like head voice because of the heavy vocoding. He does a similar effect throughout all of Comedown Machine.

    I feel like a lot of people don’t really like Julian’s voice cause it’s not your traditional rock sound (like a chris cornell for example) or your traditional pop sound (like well, any pop artist)
    And he also doesn’t fit in with the new age lofi whispery vocals a lot of artists do nowdays
    He might’ve started out by copying lou reed and picked up things from jim morrison as well but i truly feel like julian is now just his own thing and he sings better than his influences.

    To be honest, Julian's voice is the hardest one I want to copy....his voice tune & vocal sometimes high and low in anytime...I always listen to his album and he is so good on vocal or what can I say is he can be a good vocalist teacher

    Thanks Chris, I appreciate you!
    Maybe in the future you can do a video on how various singers change singing technique with age and comment on vocal style/ health (drinking/smoking)/ability/testosterone (eating/sleeping/working out) ect.
    Maybe Julian C, Caleb Followill, John Fogerty, (Steven Tyler seems to still be able to do what he did?) just some ideas.
