I think the highest note recorded by a guy is the one song "flyyyyyyy my way, or no way at aaaallll" that is an G above high C.

Can you do 3 octaves?

high G at 1:58
Yeah, not talking falsetto. I can belt out a high E above high C... yeah, Boston and Loverboy territory. With falsetto I can go a few notes above that but it's not "useful" sounding lol. On my lower register I can go down to a solid low G below low C and if I'm warmed up enough, maybe low E. So all up I've got just shy of 3 octaves. I just wish my bass register was better but what can you do...
