Well, this video has become quite popular. :) I don't really upload videos to this channel anymore, but I do have a new channel called "The B-Side" if y'all want to head over there and subscribe! th-cam.com/channels/ndUn3TIBD3A1-mPP_oUmPw.html
I'll be doing a Queen discography guide video (including solo albums!!) in the not-too-distant future, and methinks many of you who are watching this vid will be veeeeery interested in that, so keep an eye out!
RangeHub whats the songs name on 0:19?
@@Purvawellness Tenement Funster.
I'm waiting for the queen solo discography guide! Queen solo work is underrated :))
E3 to E5 - Normal lyrics
F5 to E6 - "AAAAAAAAAA"
In E6 I heard "higher" 😁
@@olac6876 Yes
deep raspy:for
higher than my grades: MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Bb5 EEEEEEEEE
*_How many more Galileos do you want?_*
Shi Fletchero I'm Filipino and whenever i see a girl who loves Queen, my faith in Filipinoes restored haha
@@secretuser4346 haha same!
Try.
And who the fuck is galileo?!
Maybe the question isn't who Galileo is- maybe it's WHAT Galileo is..... conspiracy theories always on track dndjdd
when you realize that :
1. Roger Taylor is only 1 note lower than Freddie's highest note
2.His highest note is the same with steven tyler
Alan Narayudha make that a note and a half since Freddie hit an F#6 in the relatively new Liverpool 79 concert (Get Down Make Love)
Fucking awesome. Just listen to his screams in In The Lap of The Gods
F# is a whole step above E
i can sing an g6 haha
Killer Queen I like the sound of his voice on Album.Not to keen on him singing live to be honest.
i was not expecting the isolated bohemian rhapsody “for MEEEEEEEEEEE” it literally shocked me lmao
He sang the high notes during "Galileo" too, impressively.
alex can I get a time stamp?
Stephen_ A 8:19
Lisa Jackson than you sm!
WHOA!!!! I was prepared from reading your response but it's still shocking.
His high notes are higher than my grades
Well not that difficult for me- almost everything is higher than my grades lmao
his low notes are also higher than my grades
Same here
I'm asian, and yet still his notes are higher than my grades
His notes are higher than a drug addict
Roger is the most underrated musician I know - he`s really excellent - all through the years.
cryptogon check out David Gold from zhe Canadian Doom/Black/Stoner group Woods of Ypres. He's way unterrated, too.
Underrated by who?
😀
Actually he is NOT under rated by professional musicians. Those who can discern his "style" of drumming atest he is one of the top drummers in R&R As vocalist no one paid attention but again pro musicians had known all along the absolute importance of Roger on most QUEEN records.
I don't think the general public can discern his contribution.
@Allyson Midgley both are really underrated tho
i always thought his voice is the guitar lol
lmao he is the guitar
Jesus...😂😂
He is the guitar and Bri plays him with passion 😏
@@thegaytay4327 ayo wtf-💀
Roger Taylor played a HUGE part of Queen's "sound" with his amazing range in background vocals. Perhaps one of the best drummer vocalists ever!!!
I agree 1000%
Not "one of the", he sure is the best of all ;)
I would say he's up there with Levon Helm!
That E6 is just inhuman!
Thebuilderofthings1
It almost makes me cry
It’s perfectly human
Fun game: is it a guitar crying or roger taylor singing to dogs
Roger Taylor to me always had some of the most powerful vocal moments in Queen songs. I always chuckle a little when listening to "My Fairy King" because Roger Taylor seems to be just so good at singing even higher than you would expect in a very short span of time. Roger Taylor is easily one of the greatest Rock and Roll singers of all time.
THANATOS112220
I totally agree
...easily one of the greatest rock and roll singers"?? Range doesn't make a singer great. Of the three singing members of Queen, Freddie was the only singer that could actually sing. The other two, Brian and Roger were well suited for backups and the occasional lead singer role.
harauchai Totally wrong. Taylor was and is a great artist, in Queen or solo.
harauchai
Wrong they all could sing. Except John.
harauchai
All 3 of them are good sisters.
Why are people comparing Roger and Freddie? They both were great singers and none is comparable😣
it's nice to talk about things

Roger sounds like he could make an awesome cover for _Live And Let Die_.
I can actually hear that in my head - sounds fantastic
Holy shit, what an idea! I need to hear that NOW!!!
Wow, from Paul McCartney
@Daffa Hazza It's kinda funny, considering how Brian May's singing is similar to Macca's softer range.
@Daffa Hazza prob because both of them are tenors

There is actually another outtake of the Galileos and his Galileos reach to about the same pitch Roger sang the last note in.
@@queenfanatic2623 that's just from the movie, not real, right?
7:19 roger's bit in 39 is so damn pretty
the live is more awesome in my opinion 😂
unpopular opinion: I'm in love with my car is an actual Bop
How is that unpopular
Roger is an underrated singer, songwriter and musician.
So much is always made of Freddie's wide vocal range, that I never really stopped to think about Roger's range - absolutely amazing!
Sue K
I believe Roger has a wider range
@@foundry6715 seaside rendezvous backing vocals an acual c7 of roger unlike freddie's screech
Account II roger’s range was not wider than Freddie’s - higher notes came more naturally to roger but Freddie could hit the same notes and Freddie could sing lower...
His sharp upper range is so satisfying to listen to
That E6 is pretty much what a number of us would call "Key of Dogwhistle". It's pretty amazing.
Roger's falsetto's are just too precious for this world💖
Queen had two of the best rock voices to ever grace the humanity, and thankfully, they worked amazingly well together
Roger: YEEEA
Freddie: One more,one more good sir.
Roger: YEEEEEAAAAAA
3:35 Fucked... :v
Hellob
I'm late to the party. Have always loved Queen in a generic sort of way. Just recently became aware of Roger's singular talents. Have his solo cds and play them every day. He is my nirvana. I'm actually older than Roger but I love him so much! His song styles are unique. So glad for his talent.
Roger easily could've been one of the stand-out lead singers of his era. An inspiration for me to play multiple instruments, as I read the liner notes in SHA as a kid and thought it must be a misprint that Roger played guitar on the occasional track. My 9-year old mind couldn't fathom this fact. Because Roger was a musical drummer, he played for the song. How he isn't ranked higher as one of the most powerful rock drummers is beyond me, but what do I know? Certainly live he couldn't be ignored as he is a beast. Growing up in the 70s, Queen was by far my favorite band, and as their hits and popularity soared through the golden years, many rock "critics" absolutely hated on Queen. I never understood why. But Roger's voice, to me, was always like Rod Stewart, but with actual power behind it, and more clarity. A smooth, gravely sound which seems an oxymoron but I've no other way to describe it really. Just a super talent all-around, with a drumming approach all his own and a voice and range like no other.
There's a scream Roger did at Somebody To Love around the part after Freddie sang "I'm gonna face no defeat". Any chance you know what is that? btw, his scream at My Fairy King started as a G5 turning to an A5 right?
Yes, it's an Eb5. Good note, I probably should have included that in the video, actually. And you're 100% right on the second part!
Can't blame you for omitting it. I used to think that was Brian's guitar playing that note the 1st time I heard it. That aside, good video! It's nice to hear a breakdown of Roger' vocal range.
Alex Paolo It is interesting how Freddie hit the same G5-A5 in _Under Pressure_ in a very similar manner of how Roger did them.
Very true, albeit Freddie does it slowly building up from G5 to A5 compared to how Roger did his scream in My Fairy King
When rogers voice is higher than yours...........
*and your a woman*
8:20
You're
It’s not you’re in that context. Your is correct. But it’s woman not women.
Shallex I know the difference between your and you’re thank you. Your is used to describe something belonging to you. You’re is the contraction of you are. You need to read up the thread to see I was right. Dummy.
😂😂😂😂
"Lap of the Gods" is an excellent showcase for Roger's incredible vocal range-those background high notes are heavenly!
*Galileo Galileo*
8:19 nobody can sing it such well just how he did
Agriel Brendon Urie
@@maybecarlo9806 Brendon does it in falsetto instead of mixed
@@maybecarlo9806 Lmao it's falsetto but not sounds like
*these high notes got him feeling like his nuts are in his chest*
7:40 😱 *No word’s, just RESPECT.*
What an incredible gift this man has. Unbelievable. Love Roger!!
Roger and Brian’s singing talents were overshadowed by Freddie. They totally could hold their own.
6:40 The actual sound Roger made when Freddie agreed to put "I'm in love with my car" on the B-side of "Bohemian Rhapsody".
I didn’t realize the high notes in A Kind Of Magic were Roger.
if i go any higher only dogs will hear me
Would be cool if you included timestamps to the notes :)
Also, the intro to My Fairy King reminds me of Highway Star by Deep Purple
In the description, you mean? I actually don't think there would be enough room for me to do it (since there's a certain character limit and all).
Yeah in the description, or in a comment :)
I really like his voice
I have watched this video like 5 times since I've discovered it, because years ago I would usually search for roger's vocal range on TH-cam. When I discovered this video I thought: "It was about time". Thank you
OH MY GOSH his voice is sooo adorable...
Annalena Wagenblass I know right!
I hear the G2s in Action This Day as a synthesizer/vocal equalizer
Eh, it's possible that they're edited in some form, but I consider it unlikely. I hear them as actual sung notes, personally, very similar sounding to the F#2's in "Coming Soon".
i was expecting the note from in the lap of the gods live at the rainbow
American Horror Diaries me too
That was too good to be true. AND LIVE.
What can’t he do
Same it was an E6. I really love his falsetto
I'm Expecting "Galileo"
GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO GALILEO
*How many more Galileo’s do you want?*
*Who even is Galileo?*
GALILEO FIGAROoOoOoOoOoOoO
The Bb5 of Bohemian Rhapsody is in falsetto I think
it's not. high notes are going to sound thin by nature, but you can tell it's not falsetto because it's clear and bright. falsetto sounds kind of muted and flute like, and usually kind of breathy. most people can actually hit higher notes without falsetto than with it.
It's definitely a falsetto.
Tom Milley Music It's not possible for a man to hit Bb5 in chest unlike he's a countertenor.
For sure it's in M2 and not M1, but what I meant and probably should have been more clear about is it's not the "falsetto sound" normally associated with M2. It's a more bright, open, and reinforced sound, and most people can go higher like that than they can with traditional falsetto.
And counter tenors sing in falsetto by the way.
Tom Milley Music I can sing just short of Roger, D6, but there's no way in hell I can sing a Bb5 in chest voice. I use a reinforced falsetto, called head voice. It has almost the exact same tone as Roger's high notes. It's very easy to produce a strong, bright sound if you push the sound way forward.
i love his voice so much and here's the prove that he's absolutely TALENTED
A really great rock voice!! Greatly overlooked.
John, Brian, Freddie and Roger are family, they could say they were (a band of) brothers from different mothers and no one would disagree
Honestly could never get tired of Roger's falsetto's
Don't shoot me , but ...... I prefer Rogers voice to Freddies. I wish Roger and Brian would do scaled down , less glam rock shows now without Lambert. Share the vocals. I think the time is right.
I always had too. He's been a favorite musician for me since 78'. He has a gravely, smokey, smooth voice that can belt out falsetto notes like no one's business. A mix between Stewart and Joplin.
Thebuilderofthings1 far stronger than Stewart . I've seen them both live . Stewart was very poor. He relied on backing singers. Taylor was fantastic every time. Admittedly Taylor played smaller venue's. No place to hide in a smaller venue though!
Martyn Davis I was really just using the gravely voice as the only similarity with the three individuals. Their styles are so dramatically different though.
I know what you mean...He is so Powerful...Incredible range
Martyn Davis screaming. Adam
Obsessing over Roger's voice lately so thank you for this
Last time someone told me it was him on '39 I said: ''Yeah, right'' Next time I'll say: ''I know''. ha ha. Thanks for this.
any time you think it's brian's guitar that's super high- it's probably roger's voice LMAO
That B5! Holy Crap!
I Love His voice
The Sweetest And Powerful voice Of Roger Taylor!
❤️
There is no classification for Roger's crazy note in Somebody To Love
OMFG im in love with him now after lisen to his voice and when I saw his big blue eyes❤️😍😘❤️😍😘❤️😍😘❤️😍😘❤️😍😘❤️😍😘❤️😍😘
I was sure that Bb5 in BoRhap was the top of Roger's range. Then I saw this list and was like, "He can go HIGHER?!" 😢😢😍
Roger taylor have one of the most powerful vocal range ever!
At 7:11 Roger screams like Bruce Dickinson.
Yo, he did!
I hear a bit of rod Stewart and David bowie
same here! and i hear a bit of roxy music’s singer in a few songs oddly.
When he goes low, he sounds like Bowie!
@RangeHub Roger Taylor actually tweeted about this video! That's so crazy, you just got recognized by a living rock legend, congrats!
Thank god someone did this!
YES... THANK GOD.... IT'S JUST PURE GENIUS... YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF....... WHO DOES THIS NOWADAYS? ?????
Roger has a great voice but he doesn't have the charisma to be a lead vocalist but again he is a great singer but as he once said the voice of Freddie was getting better with time and his was getting worse haha . Anyway he is one of the best drummers ,He is the member of the most complete band that ever lived .. he is not just a great drummer but he wrote some of the superb hidden gems from Queen .. great musician,singer,drummer best band on the planet .. Roger wouldn't be a legend without the others as Freddie wouldn't be what he was and is without his band mates .. I think all of them contributed their best which gave the band 100% the magic formula that they had now if one of them is missing then you can tell there is something missing and now without John and Freddie is not the same but seeing Roger and Brian now touring the world is a new oportunitie for fans who never got the chance to see the 4 of them to go and see them even if is with Adam as they still have that incredible sound and a few years more can be too late to see this legends .
Eclipsed by Freddie is not such an embarrassment at all, as no one match with the one
His voice is better than Freddy
@@accountii6382 i can't believe you actually said that omg
Smooth Tears
It’s true
Kostadin Frengov Wow calm down, everyone’s got their own opinion. Don’t need to be a dick about it.
Roger taylor it's such a talented singer and a very underrated singer.
im not crying, I'm weeping... there's a difference
the fact that roger taylor can go from a *_B♭1_* all the way up to an E6 is incredible.
The variety of Roger's songs, the ranges, even the quality of his voice are, for me, like the difficult choice of a meal from the menu at a unique, popular and quality restaurant.
" yyyEeAAaaAAH " Roger is a mood lmao
What about the line from The march of the black queen, "my life is in your hands I'll fo and I'll fi"
that one is epic
that one is epic
Love that part !
The best drummer,and a legend in is own right ,and those high notes WOW🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
No one :
Roger: YYYIIIIIEEEE
Loving this man more day by day
His Bb5 is out of this world. Love me some Bohemian Rhapsody.
"Hi I'm the drummer for Queen, also my voice is amazing"
Gosh I love his voice
So you're telling Roger Taylor as a 5 octave vocal range? I knew he was an incredible singer but this is insane
More than freddie (I know freddie is better but I just talking about octaves)
Roger Taylor doesn't have a 5 octave range, but he does have a slightly wider than 4 octave range, which is really impressive.
Perfect 4.5 octave range. Bb and E are a tritone apart, with 6 tones in an octave
Oh YEAH ROGER,, MUCH MORE THAN A GOOD LOOKING DUDE & GREAT DRUMMER..... .. I'M IN LOVE WITH MY CAR👌👌👌
John Clark And my personal favourite Modern Day Rock ‘n’ Roll Live at the Beeb.
Did anyone else realise that Roger has a wider vocal range than Freddie? (5 and a half octaves, compared to Freddie’s 4 octaves
5 and a half? I knew he had high range but 5 and a HALF?!
No, this is 4 and a half
These lowest notes in this video does not count, they are vocal fry.
6:41 what Freddie hears when Delilah is hungry
His A5 are my favourite❤
Most people think that Freddie is the heart of Queen. But I think, each and every Queen member has a big importance in Queen's success as much as Freddie. If any of those four was someone else, Queen wouldnt be Queen. Roger is a unique drummer with is playing style, fill-ins and sound. And of course his amazingly high pitched voice is a big big part of Queen's polyphonic vocals which is the trademark of Queen.
Where's March of the Black Queen and Fight from the Inside?
Were there distinctive notes?
It’s amazing that raspy voice of his can get so high
Roger humming the B5 was really impressive. I think as much so as the E6 if not more.
6:34 roger literally turned into a witch
Amazing range. Listen to Modern Times Rock and Roll and then the falsetto on Somebody to Love which I can not believe was not included. The note is so high I can barely hear it but the dog goes crazy :) . Seriously needs to be included on any discussion on Roger's range. Also not a bad drummer too
Roger voice at A5 its similar with king diamond , amazinggg
8:19 thank me later
Lowkey tho, when i was new to queen and had no knowledge of Roger and his high notes, i thought that every chorus section was sang by a choir, and the highest key was a woman. HE IS GODLY AND SO ARE THE REST OF THEM
People be bitching about how good Freddie was. Give my boy Roge the love he deserves
That A5 in In The Lap Of The Gods is just inhuman
Everytime I listen to a Queen song were Roger sings a high note she says "Hey I thought they were only boys in their band" and I would get so mad I'd smack her!
Who she?
Tenement Funster is a great song. One of my Roger Taylor favorites.
I was about to say that, such a banger
