.....been speaking more lines as opposed to singing.
Listen to some of the "old classics", add in a few songs that were fresh and energized like The Fly during ZOO TV, and listen to how as the years go on, Bono seems to be putting, well I dont want to say less effort, but less feeling into them perhaps?
Listen to a few songs from Popmart, and his failing voice aside, some songs he doesn't even try to reach notes he's killing on the Vertigo tour even.
Also, the Elevation performances of The Fly, with its beautiful intro in Boston aside, tend to be weaker musically than the incredible Vertigo "fly" performances. However, Bono seems to be really into it and making all the notes on Elevation, yet on the Chicago performance, I noted on the first verse he just seems to be talking in tune through it, like ive seen him do in recent years with SBS and One at times.
I know I'll be shot with Popmart endorsed sleeper darts for nitpicking here, because he is, as we all are, aging. He can't be expected to sing every song 110% every night. He's brilliant, but only human. I'm just hoping he regains his old fire with some of the classics. Because as the music for some songs improves live, his vocals appear to be becoming more spoken on some songs. His voice is solid now too, dunno why, energy preservin' mebbe? Who knows.
Just want my killer Flyness to be the best it can be, now that Edge, Adam and Wee Mullen have their shit nailed now.
