When you sing along to U2 songs.....

[Canadiens1131]

Do you sing the lead vocals (Bono) or do you sing Edge's harmonies? I have to say I usually sing Edge's parts because I like Edge more.

 

[Sicy]

I dont think many people sing-a-long to Edge.

 

[glamourgirl]

my first reaction is always singing the bono parts

 

[Queen Bee]

I do a mix of both because I lose focus

 

[U2Man]

if i could start a thread now, i would start one asking which album contains the hardest bunch of u2 songs to sing.

i would say UF.

 

[craigp]

kinda mix of both espec nyd, i start singing the "i will be with you again" part then start singin edges harmonies part :S

 

[Utoo]

It definitely depends on the song, but I primarily sing Bono's stuff.

 

[martha]

Mostly Bono, but sometimes Edge's parts if they're fun parts (like donde esta).

 

[pepokiss]

when it starts, Bono, obviously...

but when Edge appears, is a no-brainner



besides, I'm in a cover band and I do the chorussssssss... so, I have to "learn"

 

[coolian2]

Usually Bono.

I take over from The Edge for parts of songs like The Fly or most decent guitar solos.

 

[Liesje]

Neither, I sing harmonies b/c sometimes I can't even sing as high as Bono when he gets going, but not the ones Edge sings (honestly his scare me at times). I rarely sing the melody because it's really hard for me, dunno why, but I've always been an alto and at times it's all I can hear.

 

[corianderstem]

I love singing with Bono, if only because in my private fantasy world, I'm a freaking rock star!

But sometimes he sings too low, and it feels wrong to sing things an octave higher, so I don't sing those parts.

And then other times I sing the harmonies because I'm an alto, and that's what altos do.

edit for the post above: Altos unite!

 

[Canadiens1131]

I love doing the Ultra-vio-leeeeeeeeeet bit.

 

[LMP]

I love doing the Ultra-vio-leeeeeeeeeet bit.

I usually do the air drums.

air drums.

i'm turning into a douche bag.

 

[Bono's Betty]

Bono, but sometimes both:

Hello, hello HOLA!

I'm at a place called vertigo DONDE ESTA!

 

[Notabene]

Nine out of ten times it's usually the lead parts, but every now and again it will be the harmonies. I also do alot hand gestures to the music and I just don't know why.

 

[redhotswami]

Usually I sing Bono, but I go for Edge if A) the people in my car sing the Bono parts and B) if Edge's part is higher than Bono's.

I'm a soprano...I gotta fly high.

corianderstem, you MUST come to the next U2 karaoke party. people will bow down to our awesome rockstar hawtness.

 

[corianderstem]

 

[Joey788]

I always sing Bono's parts accept for live versions of The Fly. Then I sing both Edge's falsetto and Bono's vocals.

 

[Alisaura]

I sing Bono's part in Numb.

 

[mackemlad]

Bono's parts mainly. but sometimes Edge also. It depends on the song.

Easiest album to sing along to I would say is a toss up between the last two.

Hardest album possibly Unforgettable Fire or Zooropa.

My Fave song to sing is The Unforgettable Fire or perhaps Red Hill Mining Town.

I dont seem to have a problem hitting the notes. Unfortunately my voice has a tone that is quite hard and abrasive so my singing is pretty much for my pleasure only. I have done backing vocals in a band before though which was cool.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Are you fucking joking me?

 

[corianderstem]

I see you've taken it upon yourself to come in here and make snide remarks about any topic you don't like. We already have Mr Brau, we don't need you to do it, too.

Either that, or you're just reeeeeeeeeeeeally bored.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Snide remarks?

 

[corianderstem]

"Who gives a rat's ass" in the GG thread.

"Are you fucking joking me" in this one.

Snide maybe wasn't the right word, but your apparent crankiness has rubbed me the wrong way this morning. And now I'M cranky about it!

(I may just need to lighten up and go find some coffee. )

 

[love_u2_adam]

there is no both

 

[GibsonGirl]

We already have Mr Brau, we don't need you to do it, too.

 

[RavenBlue]

Both usually. I'll sing the main parts with Bono but also the backing stuff with Edge.

 

[The Disciple]

My Dominant Twin sings Bono's Lead, My Submissive Twin sings Edge's BGV's.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Ok, Ok try to remember, I'm Mr Prick. Every once and awhile I have prick tendancies.
Anyway, I guess I was just concisely expressing my contempt for the thread. I would think for the most part, folks would select Bono to sing along too. Now last night, I was doing a little partying, so maybe my restraint for my comments wasn't there. I'm sorry if I put anyone in a bad mood.
