message: This phrase seems to simplistic, probably written by/for a layman: "He has a very wide range and can sing in many different ways such as low, deep growls to extremely high pitched screams and is known to put very much emotion into his performance."
I think it needs better phrasing from someone more experienced on the subject. Words like "high pitched" and "low, deep growls" can probably be replaced by more technical words like falsetto and baritone/tenor for example, if that applies.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SlightlyInsane (talk • contribs) 05:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't it mesmerise you that such a good metal singer came from Mississippi?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ugobama (talk • contribs) 04:44, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

message: i quote a sentence from the article: "He is a dark-sounding baritone and has a nearly a 4 octave vocal range, having sung notes as low as D2[1] and as high as B♭5[1] on his recorded discography." After listening to him a couple of times, it seems once he reaches F#5, he has to switch to falsetto. Therefore, I wouldn't say he has a4 octave range. Falsetto is fairly easy for most singers. (Most singers can actually falsetto down to middle c.)I myself am a baritone, and go up as high as a D5-- IN Falsetto!!. I wouldn't consider myself a 4 octave wonder, as I absolutely HAVE to switch to falsetto starting at A5, which makes that note and beyond feel a LOT freer and easier for me. It's the natural non-falsetto notes that count.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morehotpockets (talk • contribs) 20:03, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Falsetto voice is generally not counted as part of a persons normal vocal range in classical music )partly) because it isn't as powerful as a the normal singing voice and not as frequently used. However, with the style of music we're discussing here a vocalist may be expected to use his falsetto voice much more frequently. That's why his falsetto range is relevant.
