The Edge and Bono Love Thread #9

[labell]

I can always tell Edge's voice apart from Bono's because.....no pun intended here, but there is a certain crisp edge to his voice - Bono's is rougher and Edge's is cleaner.

 

[domo-kun]

Edge is way clearer indeed, but I just get fooled somethimes.

I actually prefer Edge's voice over Bono's
But Bono's voice wins it over again becuase its so soulfull.
This sounds so fucked up but its hard to explain.

Yeah,she's right,but sometimes I also confuse their voicesmainly in "Seconds" and "Van Diemen's Land"!

NO! I completely understand this but most people don't! Edge has a technically prettier voice but Bono's voice rips into you

 

[Angel-Of-Harlem]

^ Yes, I understand you too My fav backing vocal is the end of Stuck In A Moment. It's really sweet and his voice sounds like an angel's

I was the opposite. For the longest time I thought Edge sang the whole song.

Me too

They do sound very similar at times. Especially the album version of "Seconds." You have to listen pretty closely to tell them apart on that song.

Also fun: Trying to discern who's singing where on Gavin Friday's Little Black Dress.

I love when Bono lets Edge sing.

Thanks for posting this video. Loved it! I had heart palpitations!!! I love hearing their voices!!!

I have to agree with you. Bono has such a soulful voice, and Edge's voice is so memorizing...

That has to be the best possible way to word it. I adore Edge's voice and I'd love to hear him do more lead vocals. But Bono sings with such emotion, putting everything he has and everything he is into his vocals.

I like Edge's voice but there's a reason why he's the guitarist and not the lead singer. Nothing against Edge, but his voice is ok for supporting Bono, technically it's not very good. I don't find his voice especially interesting. The version of Van Diemen's Land is a good example. Edge's voice just isn't trained enough. Love them both singing together, though

Edge's voice sounds like an angel's and Bono's sounds like ... Bono's He has unique voice
My fav Edge's vocal is in Miracle Drug

That is awesome. He's singing such an emotional song but his voice is just so chill and mellow. I love it.

[Marien]

I love Edge, I think that he is objectively speaking one of the best guitarrists in history, for me the best, but as a singer he is just ok for backing vocals, his voice range is very limited and, I hate saying things like this, he goes out of tune sometimes, of course he can sing some leading vocals "with a little help of his friends", I know that as fans we are biased and tend to exagerate, me too, fortunately he's wise enough to understand it.
