He has at least as widespanding a range as Axl Rose!!(sry for butchering the english language)

But nice to know that everyone has a higher vocal range than biebs:P

lol Elvis Presley and John Lennon exactly the same, I'm sure John would have been happy with that

someone please actually figure out what Avey's recorded range is because I'm too lazy

we're not counting falsetto right?

edit: oh wait no I guess we must be, looking at Paul McCartney's range which nearly hits an octave above tenor C. and Thom Yorke's highest non-falsetto note is on You, not on Just.

i can prolly for sure say his lowest in os #1 as far as i know at least.....

Post **Posted:** Fri May 23, 2014 2:11 pm

lol I don't think #1 counts dude

and even if it did, his vocals aren't really that low in pitch. Seal Eyeing is probably just as low.

Winter's Love maybe? that might be the lowest for both Panda and Avey, haha

oh hey actually #1, Seal Eyeing and Winters Love have the same lowest note I think, but #1 is pitch-shifted

Fickle Cycle and The Purple Bottle have notes that are among the highest he's sung but I don't know if they're the very highest

Post **Posted:** Fri May 23, 2014 2:30 pm

okay someone please tell me when the heck in this song Axl Rose is supposed to be singing this incredibly low note

also lol, the David Bowie low note is him just saying "well" with vocal fry, how is vocal fry an amazing singing feat

There was a guy on reddit, on the Animal Collective subreddit, who was compiling a list of Avey's highest and lowest notes. If only I could summon him over here...

I tried to help him out though and the lowest Avey vocal note I could find was from College live on KVRX '03 where he hits the 2nd F below middle C.

That's the lowest note I can sing! Seems like Dave has a fairly average vocal range, maybe slightly wider than average but not crazy wide.

Panda Bear is a better singer.

Post **Posted:** Fri May 30, 2014 4:42 am

I'd say they're about equal

They're better than each other at different types of singing

Post **Posted:** Sat May 31, 2014 3:44 am

Although I will admit I am impressed by that really high part on Fireworks because it doesn't sound like falsetto.

That's very tricky.

It seems like Avey has a wider range, while Noah's intonation is almost perfect. I'm personally not a fan of screaming Avey and I prefer Panda as a singer based on pure technical skill, but I have to admit that it seems like Avey puts a lot more passion to it, very emotional singing, the theatrics, etc.

I dunno about that. Isn't that what this thread is about anyway? We still don't seem to have concrete answers.

lol noah does not have perfect intonation. there are plenty of shows where he is waaaay off (i think like mid-mpp-era maybe?)

Post **Posted:** Wed Jun 04, 2014 4:58 am

Yeah I do feel like panda's voice live could be a little off sometimes around that period, like 2009 and 2010 specifically. He's improved a lot with the grim reaper stuff though.

Post **Posted:** Wed Jun 04, 2014 5:28 am

When he plays you can count on me on jimmy fallon.... He sings close to perfect

Does anyone have "perfect intonation" though? I feel like you could say that any live musician is waay off sometimes. Maybe I am just being too cynical about this though.

I think the important thing is the voice complimenting the music in the right way. Like you could have a great voice and still not sound good with whatever the accompanying sound is, which I think panda succeeds at. Maybe its just me, but for me, vocal range has never been that important in looking at musicians.

I guess I just feel like avey doesn't need any justice, as well as any musician that is doing a good job of accompanying their non vocal sounds with complimentary vocals.

totally agree! have you heard the mashup of the live fallon version intro with the studio version? It's a real treat.

Guys what about "I'm a noisey singer, singing loud at dinner"?

Post **Posted:** Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:55 am

justice more like "just us" for avey

Post **Posted:** Thu Jun 05, 2014 3:24 am

I think my favorite part of avey's singing is how unique and pleasing the little non-melodic vocalizations are.. the yells and whoops and oooo's and sounds of any kind. they're really unusual and make him stand out in the most wonderful way. and then there's that not-quite-raspy edge to his voice when he's singing loudly. I can always tell him apart with that.

so great. there is the justice. just-us.

I don't know man... I've heard Panda miss PLENTY of notes live, as well as just singing horribly off key sometimes. The guy can sound really good when he wants to but sometimes...I don't know what he's doing. Especially when he goes up and down the "scale" before he starts songs, he'll be especially off key in some live boots. He's gotten better over the years but I definitely wouldn't say he has perfect intonation.

There ARE singers who have perfect intonation though. I've noticed most of them being Neo-Soul or R&B singers.

Post **Posted:** Fri Jun 06, 2014 6:47 am

I think panda fixed that when he started do in-ear monitor. he's like perfect post '10ish

Yeah I never said he has perfect intonation. I am mostly just saying that I don't really care if its "perfect". You're right about some people having it perfect, and that sounds great when it is appropriate. I'm just saying I enjoy and have no problem with raw vocals.

like I said
