"Stupendous!"

Funny, isn't it? People's voices have got a quality that's uniquely theirs. Everybody's got voiceprints. Quinn's voice is recognisable anywhere, and not just because of the accent.
Just today, I discovered that there is apparently a long-standing debate as to who sings the echoey “aah-aah” bit on “A Day in the Life” from Sergeant Pepper (just after the central section by Paul that starts with “woke up, fell out of bed…”). It's so obviously John that it had never occurred to me that people could hear it any other way. Paul just couldn't get that eerie quality into his voice, which corresponds to the way John sings the other sections.
Quinn's “stupendous!” has got a gravelly sound to it that is utterly unlike Tyler's nasal voice.
 
It's definitely Quinn. Apart from the touch of Irish to what he said, listen to what was said just before and after. If it was Tyler, he wouldn't have changed the tone like that to say 'Stupendous', then change the tone back. It wouldn't be natural.

Quinn speaks immediately after in a completely different tone and style though.

The line is between Tyler speaking and Quinn speaking and it’s much closer in tone to Tyler’s line than Quinn’s.

I know but just take notice of what was said before - then the Stupendous - then what was said after. Try and picture one person saying it, it doesn't sound a natural

It doesn’t sound natural for Quinn to randomly shout out that before then changing to a completely different tone. It was Tyler who was going for it. He is simply adding the exclamation point to his sentence. Quinn waits for Tyler to finish for a couple of seconds before coming in at the end.

Bumped in to Tyler and asked him, he said that they had been asked so many times, and he honestly didn’t recall it, so they VT checked and it turned out it was him
 
For a few years I was convinced it was Tyler, then I thought I was Quinn, but now I think it was me shouting from the East Stand so loudly that it was picked up on the Sky mics.
