Re: Axl's vocal range
Hello everyone! I'm not very frequent here but I thought this was worth posting... In the last two months I was helping in a research about Axl's vocal range. Last week we found the note needed to induct Axl as a four octave and jowox - an YouTube user that makes videos about vocals - just uploaded the video on Axl.
Check it out:

Please rate it 5 stars so that we get this video popular and rub it against the face of those who say Axl has lost his voice.

P.S.: I'm posting this here so that everyone can see it and raise the view count. If the mods feel like moving it/merging it later to the proper place, that's ok, but just leave it here for a while!

Re: Axl's vocal range
Axl's voice is certainly amazing. I personally think he sounds better now than ever. Not saying the music is, but his vocals are.
Re: Axl's vocal range
I read some where that Sabastian Bach recommended his vocal trainer to Axl during the last tour G&R did. No biggie. As a lead vocalists gets older they do need to practice musical scales and certain techniques to achieve the best vocals. This is part of the trade more so when you have to sing live as opposed to singing in the studio. (There are no 2nd takes performing live : )
Mick Jagger of the Stones does this as well. There is a whole section on the four-flicks dvd that shows Jagger doing vocal exercises as well as physical worksouts to make sure he is in top form to run around on stage.

Re: Axl's vocal range
Cool research. Are you able to tell those notes & octaves? I suck with that stuff, I have no ear for music. I can't even tell what notes & chords guitars are playing. I understand Axl sings high pitched, low pitched, has about 7 or 8 voices on AFD, but I couldn't tell you the notes or which are in different octaves 
Re: Axl's vocal range
well in terms of a guitar an octave is every 12 frets....ie the top string is an E5 note and then on the 12th fret i beleive that that note is an E4...could be wrong though my theory isnt that great....all i know is that E5 is the root note in standard tuning and the rest of the strings are A5,D5, G5, B5, E4 (?)
and a normal guitar doesnt reach 4 octaves cuz there are 22 frets but richards 24 fret LP thingy does...
GNR's normal tuning is one step flat starting at Eb5 (or F#5) ... whatever ... same difference 
anyway i think i'm right...maybe someone who knows what they are talking about can tell me if i'm wrong or not 
Re: Axl's vocal range
That was pretty good reading along with the little article down the side. I think some 2002 performances have Axl screaming, hitting high notes similar to the VMA 06 scream. Isnt the "Thats what I'd tell ya" at the end of Street Of Dreams as high?
Most of the highest notes on CD are G#5. That high note at the 2006 VMA is a sharp g#5, very close to a#5.
