Thanks for putting this together, beautifully researched, separated and labelled accordingly. This is one of the best vocal range videos available - and a great tribute to an incredible singer.
great video, huge range and he's really good through all of it. He can go from really low to extremely high in seconds, looking his voice really natural and effortless. I think this is why he has become so successful.
Concordo, essa voz do Kiske além de muito agradável soa com muita potência, tanto nos graves, médios e agudos, é perfeita, é de longe uma das melhores vozes que já ouvi em toda a minha vida.
@@halyssonsousa8840 essa análise precisa ser atualizada com o novo álbum do Helloween. Em Down in the Dumps ele busca um B5 E desconfio que em trechos de De Robot King também tem uns G#5 absurdos buscados em meio a fraseados que ele faz parecer a coisa mais fácil do mundo.
@@luiscarlosbmonteiro8619 Exatamente, fui rever a extensão vocal do Michael Kiske no Google, e em um dos sites, está marcada esse nova nota do Kiske na Down in the Dumps, e eu me surpreendi, o cara se superou nesse disco, e no site está marcado com um Bb5, não sei se é realmente a nota exata, pois fiquei em dúvida se era um Bb5 ou um B5 mesmo, mas aqui está: therangeplanet.proboards.com/thread/19/michael-kiske ! E realmente em algumas músicas do disco, ele fica atingindo várias notas altas, durante esses fraseados e também quando está cantando junto ao Andi Deris, como é o caso do Refrão da Fear Of The Fallen que bem no final o Kiske lança um agudo foda, e na mesma música logo após a parte do solo da música, nesse momento em que eles cantam: Listen (listen, listen) to your heart Listen (listen, listen) to your heart Listen (listen, listen) !!! Você o Andi deris na primeira voz cantando, e o Kiske logo em seguida cantando, e claro com as notas altas, não muito agudas, mas mesmo assim altas. Sem dúvidas, o Kiske é uma dos melhores e maiores cantores de Heavy metal de todos os tempos, e é um dos melhores, se não, o melhor cantor do estilo, nos tempos atuais, é muito difícil encontrar outro vocalista dos anos 80/90 que ainda hoje está com a voz saudável e top como o Kiske!! E isso também se deve ao fato do tempo que ele passou sem fazer shows.
It's never "falsetto" for him, it's "head voice" tecnique, the same of many others heavy metal singers (Halford, Dickinson, Tate etc.). "Falsetto" is the one used in the higher register by King Diamond, for example, very different in tone, espression etc.
mmmm yep you got the point, but also there are two types of head-voice; the falsetto is actually head voice,and the other "head voice" you were pointing at its the transition between chest and head voice which is harder to do than falsetto. for example Run to the hills, or i want out chorus.
Thanks a lot for this amazing collection of Michael Kiske's divine vocal performances! One other example you could have added as well is from Helloween's "Save Us": "Far from down below one comes prepared to take us all..." That excerpt is as equally impressive imo.
Several singers have a wider range (both on the bottom and the heights), but one of Kiske's main accomplishments and virtues is the ability to easily go from head to full voice (and vice-versa); they are connected like hell and his voice always keeps its spectacular shape. You can hardly tell the exact moment where he switches, and thus sounds so natural... As an example, pick Deris... he's good but come on, that head voice is so inconnected that tends to always sound like raspy falsettos
Hope this helps, but actually his highest note with full voice ends up in D5, like in Your Turn... all the notes above seem clearly head voice (included the ones labeled as "falsetto"). There are even some lower than D5 that still sound very head-voiced (it depends on how much he has to sustain, the vowel he carries on, the former and the next phrase, etc). I.E: the C♯5 from Place Vendome.
I match the tones with my own voice and pitch them using a tuner I have on my phone. Sometimes I can do it by ear, but I always check it on a tuner anyway. Sometimes I use a keyboard if it's particularly tricky in the low registers, or is too high for me to accurately replicate.
@claudioa1978 Dickinson actually has the same amount of range as Kiske, at least on paper. Freddie's is a little bit less, C#2-F5, but still very very good.
I keep hearing that kiske is a tenor, but he sounds similar to Geoff Tate who is clearly a baritone in that they both use a lot of twang and cry in their voices and use very open vowels to negotiate their bridges. Kiske’s voice does seem to have a bit of a fuller quality like in Sign of the Times though, but he struggles in his mid voice sometimes so idk.
maybe not but Kiske is way cleaner. Halford always cheats with his screamy voice. Many can do that. But blow full with complete control in a clear voice now thats a different story. Halford is a very overrated singer. Halford havn't sung decent live since 1990 anyway. While Kiske has kept his voice intact.
I wonder how different Kiske's career would've been had he been taken in by the New York or Nashville music industry scene instead of secluding himself in Germany after leaving Helloween.
That would've been quite the spectacle ! But no, just thinking out loud - Kiske was tired of metal and felt limited by the genre (as he has said many times during interviews). Many great albums outside the country genre were recorded and mixed on Music Row, and still are.
The Kiske-era Helloween was an incredible match of gifted musicians and composers. I'm not aware of any metal band before them that wrote vocal lines to harmonize with guitar melodies quite like they did. They had raw talent in spades and drew inspiration from diversity to innovate. Chameleon demonstrated they were evolving beyond the genre. I'd love to pick their brains about the formation and arrangement of the first five albums ! Liked and subbed :) - I love technical analysis of virtuoso musicians, great idea thank you
well he was only 18 when he was signed with Helloween and was out of the band before he turned 25. If you watch his helloween concerts in the 80's and early 90's its clear he had little experience (only was in one band for several months before landing his label contract) but he grew into the role.
He is literally the best singer of all time. I hope to hear him live someday. His voice gives me chills everytime
no
One thing I say, michael kiske is not of this planet, fantastic !!
Thanks for putting this together, beautifully researched, separated and labelled accordingly. This is one of the best vocal range videos available - and a great tribute to an incredible singer.
Absolutely brilliant work :) Kiske is the best singer ever :D
He is so wonderful
The most clean vocal tune ever no matter low or high in the history of human being.
Vocal range: INSANE! :O
great video, huge range and he's really good through all of it. He can go from really low to extremely high in seconds, looking his voice really natural and effortless. I think this is why he has become so successful.
that was amazing!!!!! love u Michael kiske!!!
Os melhores, mais belos e poderosos E5/F5 da história do heavy metal.
Concordo, essa voz do Kiske além de muito agradável soa com muita potência, tanto nos graves, médios e agudos, é perfeita, é de longe uma das melhores vozes que já ouvi em toda a minha vida.

nice compilation!!
Being able to hit G5 in full voice is extremely rare for a male singer.
But I can still do it!
Its a mix not a full voice, none can hit a G5 on full 🤣🤣🤣

Ego Painted Grey He uses some mixed voice with a prevalent part of head voice...Also a lot of mask.
Pedro Reinaldo you can belt in headvoice

No dude,let's be honest to ourself ,he uses falsetto and he uses a looooooot!!!!
@prefer noto No dude, he uses a lot of falsetto.
wonderful work.

You should listen to Kiske's new album with Unisonic! He truly sings amazingly there (especially on the bonus track Over The Rainbow).
wonderful singer, no more words
UPDATE!!!
Hes back and Helloween and now his high note is no longer an A5 is now a B5 at Down In The Dumps
What a voice!
Ariana Grande: *hits perfectly a F5*
Michael Kiske: Hold my beer
You make my day 👍🏻😂❤️
@@javierandres7189 hahaha
Except Michi doesn't drink beer lol
@@summerrose1545 didn’t know!!!
@@asiabuongiorno Like the saying goes, everyone learns soemthing new every day! ;D
Kiske God!!
Kiske the best of all. Love u kiske.
Wow.. the lowest of lows to the highest of highs. He’s no doubt the best there is.

Never realized before that high note in the background of New Horizons!
Indeed, when it came to the E5 area I had a lot to choose from. Save Us is a favorite performance from him.
amazing
his range is 1337 - over 9000
From 7:01 and on just take my money, i don't want them anymore...
Hope this helps, but actually his highest note with full voice ends up in D5, like in Your Turn... all the notes above seem clearly head voice (included the ones labeled as "falsetto"). There are even some lower than D5 that still sound very head-voiced (it depends on how much he has to sustain, the vowel he carries on, the former and the next phrase, etc).

11:48, like he's STATING: "Yes, I'm MR. MICHAEL KISKE. Any problems with it?" :)
I match the tones with my own voice and pitch them using a tuner I have on my phone. Sometimes I can do it by ear, but I always check it on a tuner anyway. Sometimes I use a keyboard if it's particularly tricky in the low registers, or is too high for me to accurately replicate.
I put Michael Kiske, Geoff Tate, Rob Halford, and Bruce Dickinson in one class of their own.
this man have a capella voice in my opinion
he hits a B5 at 11:28! not just a G5!
That's the guitar, not his voice, the first harmonized G5 ends then the other one keeps going while the guitar gets up to that high note.
Epictemptation7 we meet again
Tico4president shush
@claudioa1978 Dickinson actually has the same amount of range as Kiske, at least on paper. Freddie's is a little bit less, C#2-F5, but still very very good.
wow, only second to Daniel Heiman, the vocal god! :)
+Martin Winter true, daniel is god :D
Can anyone tell pls what the are notes for background vocals during "Kids of the Century" chorus? Sounds amazing and very high to me.
I keep hearing that kiske is a tenor, but he sounds similar to Geoff Tate who is clearly a baritone in that they both use a lot of twang and cry in their voices and use very open vowels to negotiate their bridges. Kiske’s voice does seem to have a bit of a fuller quality like in Sign of the Times though, but he struggles in his mid voice sometimes so idk.
12:02 alessandro conti are you? ;)
Conti não chega nesse tom com a mesma clareza no timbre nunca.
OMG!
@Elquetelopu Actually I've heard Bruce sound off quite a bit. More than Kiske definitely, but of course Kiske doesn't have nearly as much live output.
Yup
kiske is the best and now... in unisonic with Hansen!!!
how do you know what tones he's taking? i've always wondered
@Stophocles Read the description.
please tell me about a tuner i only find online things of autotune :( i want to know my register with the tuner
2 sustained G5's in over the rainbow
@zorland876 By higher notes I presume you refer to Dickinson's falsetto notes, otherwise I strongly disagree!
hey ! I have a challenge for you...
Tell us what Rik emmett's vocal range is.. it's extremely high !
that A5 cant be real, oh my freaking god D:
He's hit a few A5's....(only one in a studio recording...on 'Someone's crying'
Look up Tommorrows Outlook - The Ehtereal Dream (kiske version)
he does an A5 there.
yea but halford whistled the G#6.
maybe not but Kiske is way cleaner. Halford always cheats with his screamy voice. Many can do that. But blow full with complete control in a clear voice now thats a different story. Halford is a very overrated singer. Halford havn't sung decent live since 1990 anyway. While Kiske has kept his voice intact.
Art Vandelay agree, halford strains all the time
@apati80 That's precisely what I mean
Way better in every way than Elvis.So real, emotional, it makes you actually feel ! And meet Mary yourself.My respect for both KINGS !
okay let's not get carried away !
I wonder how different Kiske's career would've been had he been taken in by the New York or Nashville music industry scene instead of secluding himself in Germany after leaving Helloween.
You think a German metal singer should have joined the country music industry?
That would've been quite the spectacle ! But no, just thinking out loud - Kiske was tired of metal and felt limited by the genre (as he has said many times during interviews). Many great albums outside the country genre were recorded and mixed on Music Row, and still are.

I'd love to pick their brains about the formation and arrangement of the first five albums !
Liked and subbed :) - I love technical analysis of virtuoso musicians, great idea thank you
so i can use a tuner to look it up myself?
Didn't know that Kiske can get close to Midnight from Crimson Glory.
Estoy seguro que en su prime pudo alcanzar notas mucho mas altas, en ese tiempo no se le escuchaba forzada la garganta, sacaba las notas sin esfuerzo.
He's tenor dramatic or baritone? Because Tony Kakko it's high baritone and have the SAME register.
Where is the Bb1?? Or even the C#2.
sorry for the ignorant question but ... what does TRP stand for?. Thanks.
Why can't I hear the B♭5 all I hear is the G
What an impressive falsetto this man had.
I came.
Análise Vocal Andi Deris - Helloween:
whiplash.net/materias/curiosidades/222230-helloween.html
Is he a dramatic tenor??
Yeap
@TheHelloween1993 They both have 3 1/2 exactly. Dickinson has more higher and lower notes though.
That's true, this is rather outdated.
wiki says he is a baritone, but... that sounds weird. Id rather find him a tenor
Kiske never had the eprsonality of a frontman... how could you say that he' was one?
well he was only 18 when he was signed with Helloween and was out of the band before he turned 25. If you watch his helloween concerts in the 80's and early 90's its clear he had little experience (only was in one band for several months before landing his label contract) but he grew into the role.
@claudioa1978 3 1/2
But bruce have more low notes , and never turn out of tone like kiske.
@TheHelloween1993 no he can't, bruce is much better vocalist
