Question: do you have any idea what you're talking about re: notes and tones?
Answer: Shut up.
Given your comments esp about Streets, I highly doubt it
.
What was wrong?
He sang it in a deeper voice on JT and LT than on subsequent tours.
I didn't say anything in depth about notes and tone, precisely because I am not an expert and have always said as much.
ASOH is a vocally more challenging song than UF, and that's a fact, not my opinion at all.
I don't see how that can be said for certain. Are you Bono? Maybe you are a singer(I don't know) and maybe an expert on vocals, but do you speak for all singers?
All I know is that all the songs Bono sings have some level of difficulty to them that falls somewhere between "Happy Birthday" and the opera part of "Miss Sarajevo." I don't see how, on that spectrum, ASOH and UF could be that far apart.
You claim its a fact, yet I can't see any conceivable way that such a thing could be factually proven.
They're both challenging songs, I think most people would agree.
All I know is I can find plenty of threads from between tours when someone would suggest Ultraviolet or TUF and others would go crazy "Bono could never sing that now, no way, its too hard, etc."
Now its being said about ASOH and I don't buy it, sorry.
And by the way I in no way shape or form come anywhere near the category of "Bono Skeptic"
OK.
The whole "as originally recorded, performed, is he capable" thing suggested otherwise and I responded to that, but I'll take you at your word.
I don't want to get too far away from the original question posed, which was: Is ASOH on the shelf because of Bono's ability or personal preferences?
