The best part about Geoff Tate is People thought he was a tenor.Another great point.People actually thought he was singing falsetto but he was actually singing in full voice!
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 Same with David coverdale Even Halford
@@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 ....

Great video, in his prime, he was as good of a singer as you'll hear, imo. Love his highs, lows and middle range. His mid/upper fifth octave notes are as powerful and convincing as any male vocalist I've heard. The highs in Blinded are incredible.
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.
Great video ! I hope you will do other videos like this on other singers ! For Tate, I think he have a great voice (very impressive range). His tone is very similar to James LaBrie one
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.
@@ferdiaobrien3238 Post a video singning and many people might be able to help you, it will be nice to hear that comfortable e2 with no mic resonating and projecting like a bass and also that confortable f5, sounding beefy not falsetto and projected, it will be interesting really, i did not know that such singer exist, if you are, then you are a phenomenon sir. But lets HEAR YA!
Sung this man's leather-lunged songs for over a decade. At one time I was able to hit every single note, sing every song, (up through Empire) and hold sustain/vibrato note for note. Alas, no more. :D
Lol no man. Try James Labrie and the killing hand live at the marquee. 5 g5s I think 8 f5s and many c and d5s. Its one of the greatest vocal performances of all time.
@@JohnsJustSaiyan James Labrie's best performances were in 1992, type in Dream Theatre Live 1992... I still prefer Geoff Tate and Russell Allen, but James Labrie back then was a beast!
This man is amazing, he's a major influence for my vocals husveabge is untouchable he sings in anupoer regester without using a falsetto and does it so effortlessly the man smoked ciggarettes
In "Screaming In Digital", it's D5s and F5s (No one can hear when you're SCREAMING IN DIGITAL), "Eyes of A Stranger"'s chorus tops at D5 (I've always known that the MIRROR never lies, people always TURN away) and "Spreading the Disease"'s chorus is on E5s.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
Because he had operatic training . But use rasp time to time . When Ian gillan pass a time , Coverdale , Paul dianno or Anselmo , even myself have to action the distortion mode to hit very high notes and larynx technique for hit 4/ 5 th octaves stuff .
@@prefernoto4788 hmmm no . Even in the bass in take hold the flame , his natural resonance is cleary too bassy to be a tenor . I think he was something like Baryton martin or cavalier Who have some brightness in Highs capacities close to tenor . Its not baritenor , but baritone with a brightness . Ian Gillan , Myself , Blackie lawless , are one of thoses . Dianno too ( younger )... But often , baritone tend to mature again in their mid 20's to a more adult tone . And his talking voice even in 1987 , is baritone ..
..Best singer in his prime..untouchable..AMAZING!..
Oh my gosh... I think Tate is the best baritone i ever heared...

Night Rider It's Crazy He can sing very High with clean.. when he actually a Baritone

Same with David coverdale
Even Halford
He sung in a reinforced falsetto

Geoff and Chris Degarmo were Queensryche!

GEOFF TATE IS TRULY ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS IN FULL VOICE!!
Thanks for putting this vid out.... Been a Tate/ qheensryche fan for over 20 years...
Thank you for taking the time to do this. This is very nice.
Amazing voice!!!
My inspiration...
What about the note during the lyrics'' No happy ending like they've always promised'' in Eyes of a stranger ???
Great D5-E5 on that one
@bmxdood11 A fantastic E5. I am surprised it wasn't highlighted in this video.
Great video ! I hope you will do other videos like this on other singers ! For Tate, I think he have a great voice (very impressive range). His tone is very similar to James LaBrie one
Much deeper than James ( tenor )
Incomparable

Just listened to "Chasing Blue Skies" and he definitely goes down to an A1, fry.
Que vozeirão!
Shiryu amigo
great job man!
He was very good for a long time. Have not heard him lately.
a true legend \m/

What about the high notes on the lady wore black
The slide in Lady Jane somehow reminds me of Gerard Butler in Phantom of the Opera
High note at the end of Neue Regel is phenomenal. Shitty song, but easily the finest vocal performance in metal history.
Neue Regel a shitty song?!?!?!??!?! You're on crack!
It worked great as the opening song on the Rage For Order tour.
Try one of the best songs from that era.
Lol no man. Try James Labrie and the killing hand live at the marquee. 5 g5s I think 8 f5s and many c and d5s.

No, full
lyric tenor

The scream on Queen of the ryche is an e6.
Not at all.
An octave wrong lol
thanks
He needs to put down some of that Tate labled wine.
Was, at least. I wonder what his range is now.
Something like F#1-E5, but I'm sure he can go even lower.
Tecnically speaking who is better : mercury or tate????? I dont know much of vocal range and that stuffs. Thanks for your reply
hard
Juan Hazboun definitely tate freddie is overrated
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.
the super hogh note in the beggining of "Take hold of he flame", what note is that?
bmxdood11 E5
He's a low tenor, not high baritone, since he can G5 in full head voice.
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.
So based on this, what would you say Bruce Dickinson (in his prime) is? I'd say low tenor.
I'd say Dickinson is indeed a low tenor.

Geddy Lee though.
eb5 (e-flat above tenor high c (c5))

Prophecy was on The Warning, not the E.P.
WRONG.
It was on the EP and got re-recorded during Rage For Order.
Wtf. That first silent lucidity--the low notes sounded goofy af
There was some video claming that Geoff hits A1 in watch?v=aFwAG5aEBiI at 1:29
It's Crazy How he can sing High with clean voice, when He is actually a Baritone
Because he had operatic training .
But use rasp time to time .
When Ian gillan pass a time , Coverdale , Paul dianno or Anselmo , even myself have to action the distortion mode to hit very high notes and larynx technique for hit 4/ 5 th octaves stuff .
@@Nissardpertugiu except he was a tenor unti empire
@@prefernoto4788 hmmm no .

Its not baritenor , but baritone with a brightness .

@@Nissardpertugiu just compare ian gillan a4s in his vocal range vid to tates one which sounds lighter and less pushed
@@Nissardpertugiu tate doesnt use phralyngeral reasonance to reach the 5 octave unlike ian gillan, david coverdale, thus a tenor
nice
How many octave is his range precisely ?
His sung range is B♭1-A5. He's got a spoken A1 in the song "On Queue" from his 2015 album.
4 octave.
and making more money than you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im sorry but he is NOT a high baritone. hes more like a high tenor or countertenor.
Exactly. Where do they come with baritone? His talking voice is deep. Bit a singers voice is tenor. Fools call it that. Mario Lanza. Check him out.
He was a tenor until 1988 or so. After the Mindcrime tour he was already a baritone.
Geoff Tate
Geoff Tate has lost much of his upper range. His voice is shot. That's what smoking and drinking does to a voice.
