U2Man said:BUT WHO NEEDS JOHN LENNON WHEN YOU'VE GOT BONO?
Final Straw said:
Exactly.
U2Man said:lol, the irony here is overwhelming.
Bono is to open Live8. He cannot decide which song to start the show with. He ends up choosing a classic that John Lennon co-wrote with Paul McCartney. BUT WHO NEEDS JOHN LENNON WHEN YOU'VE GOT BONO?
Final Straw said:
Exactly.

I might just be stupid but I don't see the irony. Where's the irony in covering a song?

That may be the best job of taking a quote out of context I've ever seen.
Final Straw said:
How ironic that sarcasm is lost on you.
GibsonGirl said:
It's ironic because John Lennon helped to write the song and the original poster ridiculously claimed "who needs John Lennon when you've got Bono?" Unless Bono could travel back in time and write the song...then yeah, you'd need Lennon.
Anyway, we have a troll!

I'm not taking the piss, i honestly think Bono's voice suits the song better than Lennons. Ok, Lennon wrote it, but Bono sings it better. He sang it with passion, 'Desire', and even outsang McCartney on the day.
Sleep Over Jack said:I wouldn't say Bono's a better singer than McCartney at all. His vocal on the original studio recording is utterly brilliant.
Great thread.Final Straw said:Sgt Peppers@ Live8- Who needs Lennon when you've got Bono.

Now we're getting somewhere

I said ON THE DAY his voice was better. Nothing to do with the original version.
