Ah!! thank you i've been looking for this I love van Halen also Check out steve Vai and Angus young great guitarists o and dragon force!

Wow, you got a reply from both the Van Halen fans.

His voice when he screams is pretty mental - lots of weird overtones. It almost sounds like they'd chorused him.

Indeed, it doesn't seem to be a return from the headphones nor an effect, it's more like an unintended vocal polyphony (diplophony) when he screams in falsetto. Certainly he hasn't mastered the technique.

I don't know the original track (I'm not exactly a Van Halen fan), but probably the global mix masquerades this polyphony.

Ignorants! :sadbanana

Go on, enlighten us...

How could i?

If the music doesn't enlighten you, then it's clearly not your taste. So there is no need to try and "enlighten" you.

If you're talking about Bananen then I'm a happy ignorant. Surely I won't miss them (except for technicalities I may be curious about), my music tastes aren't that simplistic.

Edit: I thought you could enlighten me about the possibility of a modulation effect - phaser, flanger, chorus or derivative - being used as insert or send - cascaded through a carefully crafted EQ or multiband compressor to explain the sound of the falsetto, but I guess that I'll have to accept a better explanation: not all singers have the vocal polyphony capabilities of Demetrio Stratos, but some achieve an unintended result. What a pity, I will remain ignorant about my curiosity and will have to accept Kev's hypothesis as good.
