Part of me wonders if Harris, Axl Rose, and other guys like them from the 80s have the vocal range they do from smoking like 3 packs of cigarettes a day and just trashing their throats.
Even dude's like Paisley have a decent vocal range when they want (time stamped specifically for the part where he talks about Prince singing Purple Rain):
It's technique. With proper training men can get a 5 octave range including their whistle voice (what that guy uses to hit the E6). It just becomes really difficult to control for most people in that range, because your vocal chords aren't actually vibrating anymore: you're literally whistling through them.
Mr. Paisley goes to his falsetto.
