Some SBD recordings of Bad Name on the KTF made me cringe. He was great singing in falsetto and was distinctively doing the "everybody needs somebody to love..." part live (can very well be heard on the Stockholm '93 recording), but his screeching on that one was over the top at the end:
I'm pretty sure he did backing vocals in the studio. He's not distinctively in the mix (but neither is David on most parts during that era), but I can hear him very well in Flesh and Bone.
