Oh wow. Just wow! I don't think I could have written a parody quite as rich as that last one, Annie!

Can any human being do anything like they could in the 80's? Time marches on, all over your face and your voice and other things. There's no botox for vocal chords.
Holy random off topic ramblings Batman!
People need IEM'S just so they can hear the band.
They can be frustrating, however, if the feed or the mix in your ears isn't good and so you'll see singers rip them out sometimes.
IEM'S and mics maketh a good singer does not one make.
IEM'S and mics maketh a good singer does not one make. I've heard him sing on TV and radio without a mic and it doesn't make a huge amount of difference.
^ I'm just going to let you be from now on, seriously.
Whats intressting here is that the people who praise his voice in the 80s beacuse of the screaming/straining thing make it sound like it is hard to sing like that.
The thing is that he has no problem to sing like that those days, just watch my 360 highlights clip on youtube. The thing is that 360 tour is the first tour ever when he use clean high notes, technique togheter with more raw screaming. Something 80/90s Bono only couls dream about.
Bonos problem now isnt about hittinh high notes, he does that better then ever. Íts his stamina, if he would work out more(running, swimming) he could eaisly hit more high noteS each night. So instead of smking, drinking wine and just talk he could work out more. We shouldnt forget that he has problem with his back, that makes it harder for him to sing. It effects you psychally and fysichally.
This can be a real problem for him on the new leg that starts late this summer, his stamina might be worse now because of all resting because of his injury togheter that he still will feel pain.

Let me get this straight: you think that the Bad from Wide Awake in America is 'screaming/straining' and it's not hard to sing like that? Just try it, you'll see!
If you say that he dosnt strain his voice in time 6:11 to 6:15, 6:16 to 6:18 and in 6:21 he nearly strain and goes offkey.

"Wida Awake" in 2:05
"Love" in 2:20
"Rewind" in 3:10
"Leeeet the good times roll" in 5:28
"Take" in 5:39
"Far" in 8:52
"Fire" in 0:53

Jesas. Is this the body of evidence you're basing your assertions on? The fuckin beach clips were better audio than that! I can't tell if half of what I'm hearing is Bono, Edge, Edge's guitar, the crowd, a wailing cat outside the window as someone taped it off their TV into a cellular phone....it's unlistenable, seriously! Sorry man, but that montage of clips just fails to show anything at all.

When you dream, is it just a montage of select Bono vocal notes that fills your dark nights?
I don't want to start another fight, but seriously....
To claim that the beach clips are better quality??????????
You can clearly tell what everything you are hearing is.
The beach clips? Maybe I could make out the lyrics but only in retrospect after someone already did the dirty work and deciphered them for us. The only thing I really remember hearing, aside from a lot of waves and ambient noise, was the "only love" chorus of Magnificent.
I am not sure these kind of claims help out your case.
What is wrong with admitting he sounds great now but that you preferred his 80s voice for x or y reason?
Yeah and the vhs/tape recording from the 80s are now also worthless, beacuse the sound in those are poor.
:
Its like saying "the robery in the local store was filmed with a vhs camera, you cant go on that in court.
Not sure what you are referring to but I have probably a thousand bootlegs from all eras and home shot vhs' don't even sound that bad.
Well no, it's not, but if one were to bring a vhs video of similarly poor quality to court and try to submit it as evidence, the defense would have a field day with it. It would probably be ruled inadmissable.
Peterr rather reminds me of a Marxist historian, who continues to explain the French Revolution in class terms on the basis of selective evidence and in spite of most other historians reasonable intuitions. Nothing will stop them from repeating their arguments over and over again. In a depressing way, it is almost admirable. My approach is simple. I am not especially interested in the notes Bono hits or how he hits them. I am concerned simply with the sound of Bono's voice. On an optimistic note, Bono hasn't sounded this good since the early 90s; but I still think his early 90s voice sounded markedly better than any of its subsequent incarantions, even its current one. Back then, his lower register sounded great (he used it often too) , so did his falsetto. His ZOO TV voice sounded smooth, deep and rich- in other words he was crooning, in a way I have not consistently heard, since. Furthermore, his phrasing, which surely must be considered too, sounded more pleasing to my ears then than it does now.
2) if a guy who does boner in a u2 tribute band tells me that the newer songs are much easier to sing, i believe him.
