Bono's Best Vocal

[ultraviolet92]

Bono's best vocal in any song?

i think bad, one tree hill, redhill mining town, running to stand still.

what are yours?

 

[chocky]

Perfect Bono: One, Love is Blindness, Bad

Raspy Bono: Spanish Eyes, A Man and a Woman

 

[catlhere]

Pretty much most of the tracks from TUF to R&H = epic Bono vocals

The early 90's Bono didn't have as good a voice, but an incredible falsetto, so honorable mention there too.

 

[Smallville]

Kite and SYCMIOYO

 

[redhotswami]

i was very impressed with his performances of Miss Sarajevo during the Vertigo tour.

 

[kingofsorrow]

bono can't sing. it's all about larry's drums.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Bad, Pride, With Or Without You, Desire, Angel Of Harlem, Sometimes, Kite, In A Little While, One, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Please...


Rattle And Hum has the best vocals from Bono. Realy amazing vocals in all tracks from that album.

 

[MrBrau1]

Right now, I'd say "Dreaming With Tears In My Eyes." That tune's just hitting me right now. Really good spot for him. I don't subscribe to "best" vocal = "highest" vocal that seems to be the popular criteria.

 

[LemonMelon]

Red Hill Mining Town. Incredible stuff there.

 

[LMP]

Please.

It's his best delivery on any song he's ever done. All of the desolation and hopelessness he's singing about you can actually hear in his voice, I love it.

Sad thing is, most people won't hear it and rate him based on something like With or Without You.

 

[Blue Room]

I like Promenade. I think its the perfect balance in his vocal of pushing it but showing restraint at the same time if that makes sense.

 

[LemonMelon]

Please.

It's his best delivery on any song he's ever done. All of the desolation and hopelessness he's singing about you can actually hear in his voice, I love it.

Sad thing is, most people won't hear it and rate him based on something like With or Without You.

I prefer Wake Up Dead Man for that kind of thing; it sounds like he's dying, and at the same time, it actually makes the song far more intriguing rather than painful.

 

[coolian2]

Beautiful Day 5th leg

 

[U2girl]

One. It covers all the aspects of the vocal. That, or Kite.

 

[Lancemc]

Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

 

[intedomine]

Red Hill Mining Town

Closely followed by Promenade, Do You Feel Loved, Zoo Station

 

[LyricalDrug]

Hawkmoon 269

 

[gman]

For the people that have posted.............do these songs you mention also qualify as yer fave u2 songs?

 

[redhotswami]

no. Miss Sarajevo is definitely not one of my favorites. I'll admit, prior to seeing it live, it was a track I often skipped. I was just surprised he could sing that part so well.

 

[mysterious_jen]

yeah me too! i was really blown away by how well he carried it off at the concert.

other than that , Bad is generally awesome when he is in top form, also love Unforgettable fire, and i am often mesmorised by Stay.

 

[cobl04]

Bad on the album...

For me the most perfect vocal I have ever heard.

And 5th VT!

 

[intedomine]

For the people that have posted.............do these songs you mention also qualify as yer fave u2 songs?

No. Gloria, Streets, Beautiful Day, Zooropa are my fave U2 songs

 

[junkydog]

In a lifetime! His voice just soars and the melody line is simply stunning... Musically it's average, but the vocal is tremendous

 

[LyricalDrug]

For the people that have posted.............do these songs you mention also qualify as yer fave u2 songs?

I like Hawkmoon 269, but it's not my all-time favorite. It's just amazing, though, to hear anyone scream at full volume, in key.

 

[LMP]

I prefer Wake Up Dead Man for that kind of thing; it sounds like he's dying, and at the same time, it actually makes the song far more intriguing rather than painful.

I kind of like Wake Up Dead Man, but it has my biggest pet peeve of the album: the use of "fuck."

You can't use the word fuck in a song called Mofo but you can in a seemingly random place in the last song of the album?

Really Bono, really? Okay.

 

[Peterrrrr]

Tell me one tour when Bono hit the high C in Wide Awake and holds it for long, when he massage to hit the high note "don't you look back" in WGRYWH, when he holds note for 8-11 seceonds? Well there is one answer: Vetigo tour:

Here is a mix of clips of Bono's voice on Vetigo tour:
