John singing Spirit Carries On sounds just like when I (and probably most DT fans) try to sing along to James on that song.

John could have been a vocalist actually, obviously not for the high pitched vocals, but he sings pretty well on the lower pitches.

You forgot here the only two songs in which JP actually sings alone.. The Silent Man and The Ministry of Lost Souls...

Amazing !! Thanks for compiling this!! Petrucci's voice is quite interesting as rock voice.

John Petrucci has very nice voice, suitable for ballads style, 3:36

I reckon royalcrimsontheater deserves a thanks too. Also, I take it this means we concluded that that one shouted C5 by Petrucci was falsetto? There were a few other low notes by Portnoy that we never went over conclusively, like "Honor Thy Father", "As I Am" and "Octavarium". He also hits another G♯4 in "Take The Time" live.

3:35 John Petrucci ❤ really wish he sang more, absolutely love his voice

@Thetarantinomaniac Considering I mentioned him in the first paragraph... Don't remember the other notes.

0:37 Matt Bellmay is that you?

The voice at 1:10 is actually Corey Taylor, not Mike Portnoy. Check the "Chaos in Progress" video clips available on KZread.

I only chose songs that showed significant parts of his range for this. I don't know what you mean by "alone" though, since he only does background vocals and the two times he has sung lead on DT tracks are featured here.

I've notewatched Rudess (my favourite musician/person/God of all time), sorta. His few studio tracks never leave a range of about A2-D4, so I keep an eye on his interviews and youtube channel, and I've heard at least spoken Bb1s (as well as a possible G#1) and a sung F4 or F#4, can't remember which, from him singing 'happy birthday'. Definitely a standard baritone (high when he was younger), he's lower than any of the other DT guys but his 1st octave notes aren't resonant enough for a bass.

Then as you undoubtedly know, it is far easier to develop strong highs out of your natural comfort zone than it is to develop drastic lows. Especially bass lows. You would also know that amplification doesn't change everything, and that natural resonance can still be measured even if projection is obscured. Especially when listening to someone like Valo scale downward into the first octave with no voice break.

Oh, and cool video! I think Portnoy's actually similarly placed to me, although since he's a good 25 or so years older he has stronger lows, but I bottom out just above him. Petrucci's definitely pretty low, he's really improved as a singer in his time with DT as well (although he's clearly not a natural).

@Spydrfish No, it was a joke outtake that was included on the B-sides.

@zorland876 My bad. But yeah, I brought them up at one point; we just never got around to pitching them.

I didn't say "lead vocals", I say "alone".. Alone: only in those two songs I mentioned he sung without doing only the backing vocals of James, or without doing a counterpoint nor with Mike.. You can clearly hear him there, in contrast to the rest of the songs, or in songs like "Fatal Tragedy", "Blind Faith" or "Prophets of War", where he sings with MP.. Besides, those two songs you said he sung lead, aren't official versions.. Sorry for my english, is not the best, but I think you get my point..

Mike P should sing more solos! Salty Dog and Conquistidor are his best. I know it must be difficult while drumming, but LOVE his voice.

He's clearly autotuned in Wither...

You didn't notice the low harmony actually singing E2s?

This must be adressed to : it is corey taylor who is talking at 1:10

So are these guys. In my experience, classically studied vocalists don't seem to be terribly knowledgable when it comes to pop singers. Not a slam or anything like that, it's just a completely different form, and the guidelines used to judge classical singing can not be applied the same way to contemporary styles. By that definition, Axl Rose and Geoff Tate are tenors.

Oh okay, I got ya. Huh, I guess those are the ones where he does the backups by himself.

So having light (thin) highs completely offsets having the strongest, darkest, most resonant lows of any modern popular singer?

1:00 ive been going around screaming this🤣🤣

was 4:40 honestly in the album? Hadn't listened to it in a while, honestly sounds kinda bad there...

@anqipiqi Read the description...

By that logic, you would consider Peter Steele and Ville Valo to be tenors.

You want bad, listen to a live performance of The Trooper on KZread.

PLEEEASEE!! SOMEBODY TELL ME!!! IN THE FINAL OF THE VIDEO, JOHN IS "SINGING" A SONG, JUST BEFORE MIKE LAUGHS AND SAYS "HORRIBLE..." WICH IS THE NAME OF THE SONG? PLEASE SOMEBODY ANSWER ME

u know i have an album with songs that i`ve never heard from DT or JP and that song is in there.

The opposite is true as well, that baritones can "hold high notes". Plenty of baritones (high baritones really) have better high notes than some tenors. Of course as you know in classical schooling baritones singing tenor range is not encouraged, whereas in contemporary music there is no restriction.

1:10 is Corey Taylor

Jimiakos Yep, s’my bad.

Yes, and Valo gets to low notes with much more ease than most baritones, and has a harder time with high notes. The same with these two. You seem to believe that anyone with clean or light highs has to be a tenor.

I'm pretty sure the Petrucci vocals for Wither are heavily autotuned.

@Thetarantinomaniac Oopsy.

What's your problem?

Hah.... Would have never seen this coming, they're fine singers just didn't expect any notable Range.

Ok, explain then

@MightyStreetFighter Yup. Autotuned as hell.

it is terrible, but in the behind the scenes video you can see him laughing as he does it. he obviously doesn't think it sounds good

I don't hear anything above G#. "a SAL-TY DAW-aawg"

I'm pretty sure LaBrie is a baritone too. The thickness of his vocals make it that way. He just has a high vocal range like how Freddie Mercury is.

@MrRafa1919

LaBrie is a high tenor.

it was a demo, it was meant to show Labrie what notes to hit. To make it more accurate he autotuned it.

the E2 in burning my soul shouldn't count. petrucci is using a talkbox. his moth only acts as a modulator while the guitar acts as a carrier.

There is absoutely no reason to ever think they were ever tenors at any point. That's just incredibly silly.

Mike goes up to G#5 on New Millennium at Budokon. I'm sure he could sing falsetto higher though, so in my opinion it's kind of silly to make these "the range of" videos because there's never any reason to ever sing above a certain point. Maybe they should be named "the performed notes of" or something.. hmm haha

Is called chest voice dude, and mixed with some throat you get to sound deeper than what you really are. As I said, there are types of tenors, some with darker colours some not. You've heard tenor Kauffman? the so called "baritenor" fakes his voice, since you listen to his real voice and is quite light, but he sounds sooo dark and deep that people actually think he is a Bari-tenor. You don't need that much brain for faking your voice that way.

Two vocal range videos in one? I do not approve of this one bit.

Portnoy has a decent singing voice. Petrucci on the other hand is...LOL

Portnoy's highs are better and Petrucci's lows are better.

@MlKEPORNTOY Meh... Portnoy's one of the best drummers, but in singing LaBrie > Portnoy. And even Portnoy knows this.

JP is so autotuned

JP is autotuned. He could not have been a vocalist.
