Odd post, but you do remind me of something:

In late November of 2000 U2 did a club show at Irving Plaza in NYC that was broadcast nationally on the radio. Before the show, they played a prerecorded interview Matt Pinfield did with the band the day before. When I heard it, I didn't recognize Bono's voice. He literally sounded like he was sucking on helium.

Not sure, but I think I remember reading/hearing that Bono had some type of medical treatment done on his throat before or during the ATYCLB sessions. Maybe that explains the way his voice sounded.

I have no knowledge of Edge, Adam or Larry doing any "sugar droppin."

Try listening to some of their earlier bootlegs, Bono sounds like it all the time... vaguely like kermit the frog.

(Though I think they're mainly due to lack of full strength batteries in the tape recorder rather than helium)
