But still, when It comes to consistency, Bruce is definitely superior and Bruce actually sings more

btw can you approach judas priest songs with the technique used to approach GNR songs?

11:28. It is known that Ian Gillan uses lots of head voice but his G5s here sound very chesty. I sound close to this in my upper mix. Is this in mixed voice or really great head voice

But was that scream by Ian Gillan in head voice or mixed. It sounds quite chesty

that Ian Gillan scream was just head voice. Most G5's are

But it seems he has managed to, with many other singers, to pull up chest resonance into the sound

Yes he has. Nothing extraordinary about that. Take a look at the video Felipe posted in another thread about head voice vs. falsetto. At times he demonstrates what he terms as falsetto without the head voice posture. That's all Ian is doing up there I think.

That being said it needs a certain amount of head resonance in order for him to even get up that high - so I would call it an M2 coordination but with mixed resonance qualities of chest and head - it has the release of head resonance but the open belty sound of chest which is achieved by keeping the vowel more open like a wide AA or AH, rather than covering it. But it can't be TOO open or else the singer will lose control, it's a delicate balance of the necessity of head resonance and intention of chest resonance.

Another way to think of it is just belting in M2.

Very common technique for that note, it's also used by Robert Plant and others

The high notes by Ian Gillan is done in M2 with high adduction. I do something very similar in the end of " And The Money Kept Rolling In":

Wow Martin. I really liked your performance!
Not only your singing, but also your confidence and acting. Awesome man!

Basically, its in mixed voice

I like to think of these threads more like "Holy crap this person is a great singer" threads.

So, I'll play. How about a face-melting B4 sustained for 12 seconds? It occurs at 7:52-ish.

What I love about Maynard's belting is that it only has the slightest hint of grit in it, but still sounds insanely pissed off.

Those are two great singers! I've been a Bjork fan for quite some time. I'm not too familiar with Barbara Streisand's catalog, but I do know she's a hell of a singer. 19 second belt, wow! Brutal.
