Wasn't the way he was using the tool the reason why the tool isn't the same anymore ?

That's what I said. He is more experienced now but the sheer awesomeness with the exception of the vocal delivery of that one note in UV is a little less.:up:
 
We'll have to agree to disagree...

My ideal Bono voice would be the falsetto of the early 90's along with the full voice of today...

I still think it is too shreeky (if that is a word)
Your blue room, THAT is the voice...depth, falsetto, swagger, sexyness everything. He never was or got better

Exactly- it was the range and depth that made his ZOO TV/Passengers voice so special. Now it is sometimes too screechy or shreeky as you put it. For instance, when I hear Bono wailing during NLOTH I just think "be quiet, it sounds so forced, like sandpaper being dragged across wood" There's much less of that on AB and Zooropa.

PS- Nevertheless, Bono's voice is much improved from Elevation and Vertigo.

Depth - yes. Range - no. His technical range was pretty awful by his standards throughout the 90s. Excluding falsetto, of course.
 
Well he does from a range standpoint, I'm only talking about the objective aspect of his singing...

But I do love these descriptors "crackly", "screechy" and "shreeky" :lol:

Three of the new seven dwarfs...
