question aboun "Numb"

U2isthebest · 10-13-2006, 10:20 AM

Does Larry really sing the "I Feel Numb" part in "Numb". I'm loving this song right now. If so , I'm surprised. He sounds really awesome. I'm surprised...LOL. God Bless!

Bono sings the "I feel Numb" part, Larry speaks it. You can really hear Larry's voice in the 'new mix' on the best of...

Although Larry does sing some backing vocals on the "MAN PAINTS A PICTURE..." parts of "Lemon"

Are you sure? I could've sworn it was just Edge and Brian Eno singing those parts in Lemon. Unless you mean in live versions... I'm only thinking studio...

Did Larry sing this live?

craigp · 10-16-2006, 01:46 PM

brian eno sung it in studio, it was memorexed for live

phillyfan26 · 10-16-2006, 02:57 PM

Numb - Larry speaks "I feel numb", Bono singing falsetto

Lemon - Edge and Eno on backing vocals, Edge live by himself

Some people here need to read their bible.

Go get Flanagan's book; it's all in there.

i have a question about numb, so ill stck it in here, was the song written with the edge in mind?

vaz02 · 10-16-2006, 08:43 PM

When the song was played live was bono singing backing vocals live ?

No - out the back having a smoke.

Yes, and it looks really bad on the DVD without TTTYAATW, because you don't see him re-enter, he's just suddenly walking out to the B-stage.

Edge wrote the lyrics, so I'm assuming that's why he "sang" it.

I thought Bono just hopped backstage to get the champaigne...he didn't do the falsettos live on Numb?

J_NP · 11-17-2006, 10:54 PM

From what I remember , only Edge and Larry appear , not even Adam on Numb

powerhour24 · 11-18-2006, 06:19 PM

Are you guys sure Larry doesn't sing live on Lemon? If so why does he bother having a microphone? To look cool?

Hawkmoon26969 · 11-18-2006, 07:41 PM

Yeah, Larry sings the "I feel numb" bits live. Bono's vocals are there, but they're pre-recorded - straight from the album.

On youyube you can actually find a video of them doing Numb at Zoo TV with everyone in the band participating, must have been one of the first performances as there's no EBN stuff going along with the song.
