my drummer can hit that last high note easily, sings awful though. i can hit the A note under it if i strain for it

In falsetto or whistle I bet not in full voice. I can hit in falsetto easy.

Stryper was one of my favorite bands in the 80's.
Saw them many times live including once in New York
where they opened with Against The Law --and the guitar wasn't working so all you could hear is Michael
singing- Powerful!

I've met him too on a solo tour. He's never had any voice training.

I really like the "Reborn" CD too

I have Michael Sweet's first solo CD after he left Stryper, and I really liked some of it. It's not like Stryper..it's just Rock, but there are some great songs on it.

its thin but its similiar to how micheal sweet does it, he can also imitate female opera singers, but his high notes are thin,something im trying to avoid, king diamondish, i dony know if thats falsetto

Kinda like this?

I have been told when I be stupid with this falsetto stuff that I sound like King Diamond

dude, you hit that note, sounds like you can go higher. im just wondering, if you were to hit that last note with all the air power you have, would it turn it into a 'full tone', or just a power falsetto

Power falsetto :P

I think maybe if I worked on it i could get it to full voice. It is ridiculously loud though, louder than all my singing friend's full voices and even mine.

I can go higher than that. I have gotten an E6 in that mode before.

Doug Skene is now my new hero.

Awesome Doug. Now try doing it again, but take out the breathiness that you had when you started the slide. Keep it as pure as it was on the top. Then after you record it, make sure you boost it by 10 db so that people think it's full voice ;)

Dude, thats cheating. LOL

I can hit high C's like that. Is it unhealthy and could I transform those high ones into full voice. They are so loud like that man. Its amazing.

It is not unhleathy if it doesn't hurt your voice.You can do anything you set your mind to. When I did MythBusters, I was hitting Soprano C#'S full out. I was really warmed up though.I had to be, I was recovring from being sick the day we filmed ;)

Dude, Doesn't hurt at all. Feels effortless. I wish my full voice felt like this. It's so damn loud up high. I guess you cant transcend when you are going heaps high and loud in falsetto can you.

I saw some recent Stryper concerts, from their reunion tour, and Michael Sweet's voice is NOT in the shape it was in the '80s. That sucks.

Just sent him the book. Hope he enjoys it.I think the new CD is really good.
