Hi!
I have been listening to White Stripes' new album, "Elephant" in the past few weeks and I absolutely love it! It is an amazing experience to listen to such songs like "Seven Nation Army" et al. It sounds so refreshing and so different....with just Jack White on guitar and Meg on drums but no bass. I read somewhere that other bands like The Thrills, Yeah Yeah Yeahs use the same set up.....guitars, drums and no bass...
Which leads me to think....I know im not gonna be popular in saying this here but what if U2 were to follow White Stripes and drop bass from its music....
Would it help produce a much more raw or rough sounding music or lose that very U2 signature which we are all familiar with through the years? What do you think?
Honestly, this is just a thought but I feel Adam is "the bind that keeps the U2 sound together" so I cant really see the band living without him ever, EVER.
But I'll just say that it would have been really interesting though if the sounds of U2 itself does not use bass at all. (Hmm I wonder what some of the old U2 songs would have sounded like without bass, hmm?)
