you the man discothequeLP, for real. That is exactly what I am talking about...
cringing yet?
now show me footage of any self-respecting rock n' roll band who uses a headset microphone and deserves to be taken seriously.
I just find it hard to complain about Edge's mic when compared to ISS chats or wearing an ASSK Mask, call me crazy...

No, sorry. I enjoy Garth's music and I think he's an great artist.
Seriously, what's bloody wrong with a headset mic? Is a freakin' mic, what matters is who's singing on it.
Would Paris Hilton look better singing on a normal mic? Would Bob Dylan lose any of his greatness singing on a headset? If you ask me, the answer is no.
I don't remember many artists using it, that's true... and anyway, I won't spend time looking for it on google. But like I said... it's just stupid to not use it since it's a pratical acessory that allows the performer to move and therefore, make a better show.
But I'm sure you would get tons of cash if you provided the musical world with a replacement as good as this. One that doesn't make you and other persons with your problem with this equipment "cringe". (Btw, if you ask me, this is the stupidest word in English language.)
I'm not being rude at you, that's just my two cents. Your reason is not a good reason to dismiss something that provides us a better show. It's narrow-minded and useless.
If other performers are as narrow-minded as you on this subeject, it's their own loss, 'cause they are not giving their public the best show possible. Respectable and brillant artists as Madonna, Garth and now U2 make a great use of this apparatus and I'm glad to be a fan of those three.
And aesthetically-wise, this looks good too.
Again, just my take on the subject.
I think it looks whimpy, sorry to say so...I know I am being silly by bringing it up, but it just annoys me.
It annoys me like Bono's mic annoyed me in the Zoo Tv theater portions of the show (Running, etc.)
I just think Edge looks better with a traditional mic. Also, I wonder if the new mic has caused him to be flub more guitar parts than usual just cause the whole stage, mic, etc...is all new. Just a thought.
Another rant...why can't they just all wear more normal clothes. I don't mind them as much this tour, as in: Bono looks better this tour I think. Adam always wears the interesting outfits, and he can pull it off...but this time it's way too much. I wish he would just wear normal clothes sometimes.
Edge looks like a gay leatherman often.
Larry looks the same.
Larry had a headset for the Zoo TV shows as well I believe.
Which is all about change and evolving...I prefer rock and roll.
Some people are scared of change.
Donkey and Disco's ancestors said it was wimpy and cringe-worthy when Elvis moved from this mic:
to this mic:
Also, Adam should wear a headset mike... not to use it, just to wear it.
I'm sorry but all clothing and style questions should be directed here:

Why can't we just agree to disagree? You keep fueling the fire.
Do you have to keep retorting to personal attacks? Can't you keep it civil here?hi again, you give Yoshi a bad name.
