They call it "range" but it's actually kind of silly. I'm talking about singers from bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Preist.

I could understand Alice Cooper singing like that , because his show had a lot of crossdressing before he got popular and went into the horror business. After all, his name is Alice.

I like some high pitched singers, Mario Hernandez of Ciao Bella/From Bubblegum to Sky, for one. And Brian Wilson could throw his voice up high and get away with it. However, those are pop singers( not in the sense they are popular, but in the sense that they sing light hearted care free songs), and they don't sing about bad boy stuff like breakin the law or the devil, so I don't find it as silly.

Haha, maybe because they can....and yes they have the voice to do it....and isnt it the aim of heavy metal.....to bore into the middle of ur brain....as the lead guitar screams those....notes...so as the singers....does it make sense

Actuatly the Bands you mention are quite diffrent from each other
Rob Halford (Judas Priest)has a naturally higher singing range than Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden).
If you listen to Judas Priests earlier albums Rob halford's Voice has more higher range.
Where-as Bruce Dickinson can sing high, but not on the same league as Rob.
What do you think of groups like the Bee-Gees or the Scizzor Sisters and some early Elton John songs. Also Leo Sayer... they made songs, from start to finish- singing high like girls(as you put it) !!
Singing, is an artform and comes in many diffrent styles. Personally i find Opera Hard to enjoy.. but that doesnt mean its girly or silly

Learner. You refer to the kind range of heavy metal in terms of being silly but it is you and your ignorant question that is silly. You must hear the 'love it to death' album from Alice Cooper.

Yeah, I agree. Sing like a man please. It all started with that singer from Deep Purple and since then there has been a never ending parade of bad singers with comical vibrato.

It is from swallowing too much heavy metal. It stretches out the vocal cords, or in this case, chords. *I am so funny I deserve 10 points!*

I listen to heavy metal and hate that his pitch vocal. I don't know why. I like the deep growling vocals much more.
