Axl Rose Has Greatest Vocal Range?
What a joke! According to a mostly unscientific chart posted by travel website Concert Hotels, rocker Axl Rose is the greatest vocalist of all time. Comparing about fifty different singers from across music history in terms of their vocal range in the studio, along with the highest and lowest notes they reached, Mr. Rose is the only performer to be in the top four on all three rankings. But what’s absurd about the chart is that it doesn’t deign to include opera singers, dozens of whom, in their prime, have more impressive — and impressively delivered sound — at both ends of the scale. Maria Callas is only the most obvious example. For men, listen to Nicolai Gedda. Can Axl sustain those high Cs? Please.
