Remy Zero's Lead Singer Sounds Just Like Bono?

[Gina Marie]

From Billboard magazine:


In the current issue of Billboard Remy
Zero's single "Save Me" is reviewed. The obligatory
U2 comparison is included: "Lead Singer Cinjun Tate
has one of the most dramatic voices to come down the
pike in a while - though at first, you'll swear you're
listening to the latest U2 single; he's a dead ringer
for Bono."

I've heard that song-never noticed that.

*useless factoid*-he was married to Alyssa Milano-wasn't he?

He certainly doesn't look like Bono...

There is only one Bono. Period.

"Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taken over me????"

The only person the singer reminds me of is Michael Stipe, but Michael Stipe is a hell of a lot better than that guy. You can look like Bono, you can sing like Bono, but chances are you'll never BE Bono.

------------------
"Very strange looking object you have at the end of your stick.." - Bono

"Bono looks too intense for me." - Rollercoaster Tycoon park guest

"I was drunk, high on him, a shrinking, shadowboxing dwarf following in his foosteps...badly...STARSTRUCK.." - Bono, on meeting Frank Sinatra for the first time

"Bono? Bono is going to tie ropes around my neck? Wait a minute.." - Edge, when shooting the 'Numb' video

I love Remy Zero, but I don't get the Bono comparisons either. Maybe my ears are just finely tuned to the voice of Bono.

Ah... I LOVETH Remy Zero's new CD....but he doesn't sound like Bono AT ALL. If anything, maybe teh lyrics are a bit U2esque.....

Cinjun sounds like the singer guy of Starsailor, though.

~*Mona*~ LOVE me, give me SOUL
"I think I just said I was smart there - I'm sorry about that." ~Bono

"I...I had a one night stand with the Discoteque video" ~Mona

"If I knew who I was I wouldn't be an artist, I wouldn't be in a band, I wouldn't be here screaming for a living." ~Bono

Cinjun sounds like the singer guy of Starsailor, though.

I disagree.

Again, it may be a finely-tuned ear thing since Starsailor is one of my favourite bands. I DO see a similarity between James Walsh's voice and Jeff Buckley's, though. And I think the voice of the lead singer from Ours (can't think of his name at the moment) falls between Cinjun and James Walsh.

I don't hear any similiarity in their voices... to me, Bono's voice has always been something unique, and I never heard or felt that any singer had a voice like his.

Oh yeah, Gina, he was married to Alyssa Milano.

"And the Lord said 'Humble thyself, Bono!'" ~ Bono

I think the singer for Remy Zero sounds like early Bono a bit on the song "Save Me" but I've seen Remy Zero in concert ( and I really like them!) and I don't see much more of a similarity in their voices in other songs. I think it's just that one song.

I think it's a compliment to the guy that he sounds like Bono and that is was mentioned in Billboard.

I hope they do another concert soon. I really like them. They are great live.

 

[littleheartsuitcase]

Nah, I don't think so either... I don't listen to much Remy Zero, but 'Save Me' is one of my favorite songs... I've never thought that about his voice.

I love Remy Zero also. I am going to go see them when they come to Atlanta. As much as I like them, I do not think the lead singer sounds like Bono. I loaned my co-worker their latest CD and she came back and told me: "No wonder you like them, they sound a little like U2."

I saw them live in December, and I didn't think he sounded like Bono on other songs either, nor did he really remind me of Bono in terms of performing.
