Does anyone know what the sounds at the beginning of UTEOTW is?

[Carmelu2fan]

its a synthesizer people !!!

 

[the tourist]

It's a shaun vox.

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

get the "The Eyes of Truth" by enigma and listen at about 3:25 into the song and you will hear that sound. I know they took it from U2 but it actually sounds awsome in the whole mood of this song! I recomend this song if you like instrumental songs!

 

[LemonAid]

Put simply, I read that it is a soundbite of Bono shouting 'Love' being played by Edge as SFX on his guitar.

Yes.

Which makes it the coolest idea and coolest sound ever known to the human ear.


..

...or any ear for that matter.







Achtung

 

[AtomicBono]

Actually, if you pay right attention, it isn't so hard to understand that it's Bono singing "LOVE LOOOOOOOOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE" through a voice processor

I totally didn't know that! ya learn something everyday.

so is it like the best sound to ever be heard by mere mortals or what?

 

[Zoots]

involuntary making wailing, siren-esque(is that a word?) sounds.

not zootlesque sounds?

 

[beau2ifulday]

Honestly, is there anything in this world that's better than Achtung Baby???

 

[Numbology]

Haha indeed Beau2iful day.The best U2 album IS Zooropa.

 

[Pero]

Better than Achtung??
No, after conducting a wide-spreaded investigation, i came to a conclusion that there is no such thing

 

[shaun vox]

Zooropa IS THE SECOND BEST U2 ALBUM !!!

but achtung all the way!

 

[gareth brown]

I thought the UTEOTW sound may have been a Vocoder using a guitar [plus effects] for the modulator signal as opposed to a synth like most vocoders. An example of this is Frampton's "Do You Feel".

there's my two cents!

 

[shart1780]

Ngyaaa ngyaaaa... ngyaaa ngyaaaa... ngyaaaaaaa.

 

[Azor]

It sounds like

Mamma hey
Little mamma hey
Little ma-maaaaaa hey hey hey

I heard it and you're not too wrong.

 

[AtomicBono]

Sorry, that's not quite better than Achtung Baby.

This, however...

 

[Zoots]

*Do You Feel Loved intro plays*

 

[U2girl]

Bono was asked once in an interview and said it's their secret but did tell it was his voice/Edge's guitar put through effects.

I always thought it was just Bono roaring away.
