To AE's point, that last line was just an attempt at humor... perhaps a poor one. That said, it is interesting how quickly the high range fades for most male Metal vocalists. I'm not sure if any of the 80s singers can still do everything they did. That new re-recording of Battle Hymns is proof positive that Eric can't. Anyone who's seen Maiden's latest tours knows, that while Bruce is still amazing, he's lost some range. Tate's voice is all 50% of what it once was. King's falsetto isn't nearly as high as it use to be. Not sure about Halford. Haven't seen him in recent years.
