War Child
I've been listening to a lot of 1990 shows lately and IMO, Bono's voice was tip top, perhaps even the best it's ever sounded.
When AB was released in 1992, his voice had taken a dramatic shift. It was scratchy at times and the high notes seemed strained and fairly difficult for him to hit. These vocal changes are even more noticable on the early ZooTV tour MP3's. (Of course the later shows are even worse, but that would make sense, with the wear and tear of touring and all.)
So my question is, what the hell happened from 1989 to 1992? The guys were spending most of those years in the studio and were not on tour. Why did his voice change so much in that period of time? Was it smoking? When did he start smoking? Too much partying? Too much drinking? What was it? Your thoughts.
