U2 should replace Bono With Kate Bush

[Chizip]

what about Van Dieman's Land?

 

[LemonMelon]

U2 wouldn't be nearly as popular as they are today if Bono wasn't the lead vocalist to begin with.

It's the truth; suck it up.

Chiz, you're out of control!

I agree. As much as people loathe Bono in this forum, that is the truth. I'm not sure if this topic was supposed to turn into another anti-Bono thread anyway... Screwtape was just wondering what female vocalists would work well with U2's sound. LOL.

Kate Bush would certainly be interesting... I think Annie Lennox would be good as well. I liked her duet on "40".

why can't i be the lead singer of u2?

Bono is a very very important part of the group, but U2 is defined by their sound too, and I don´t think that a replacement can cover the magic of those four men playing

Bono is the LEAD singer of this rock band called U2. Sometimes, the guitarist of the group(This guy who calls himself The Edge) sings on some of the songs. Once again, Bono is the LEAD singer of U2. SOOOO, if he's NOT the LEAD singer, than it ain't U2. Do you all get it now?

But Edge is the LEAD singer (oooh CAPS LOCK OF TRUTH) on Van Diemen's Land. In fact, Bono isn't even on the track. Yet I don't see anyone disputing that Van Diemen's Land is not a "true" U2 song. So Bono doesn't HAVE to be the LEAD singer of U2 songs.

It's funny how some people here can't entertain purely hypothetical scenarios and have to derail threads with "waaaa! Bono HAS to be the lead singer!"

So please stop asking what about Van Dieman's Land?

What about Numb?

What about Numb?

To answer the question, we need a hot woman with a great voice and blue eyes and above all the things, that likes to write songs with kneel, soul and feel.


Who could it be?


Christina Aguilera???

 

[Zoots]

oooh CAPS LOCK OF TRUTH

 

[u2trinity]

The songs you listed wouldn't exist without Bono !

 

[indra]

oooh CAPS LOCK OF TRUTH

omg that is great. I gotta remember that line!

 

[wtonis]

I would love to see Kate Bush in concert one day!! Great vocalist... I'm afraid the odds of Kate Bush doing a world tour are the same as Kate Bush singing in U2...

 

[CTU2fan]

WHAT??! No I have not!!! I'm a terrible fan

I'm uploading it now, will post a link.

Seriously though, if U2 replaced a member would everyone stop listening? Would they necessarily suck? I mean, of course we all say they're not U2 without all 4 members...but if anybody left and they decided to continue I'd keep buying the records.

Unless it was Edge who left...U2 without Edge has serious "suck" potential...if some random Edge-replacement started playing Streets I might claw my own eyes out.

OK here it is...

For me, it would never be the same. And I don't think they would continue. Seriously, I love to give people a chance, but U2 with any other member would be hard to listen to or watch. I think it would make me cry. There's just something magic about the four of them together and I seriously cannot imagine anyone being replaced.

I'M GLAD I COULD MAKE SOME OF YOU FOLK LAUGH. /truth

No problem. Yeah I really love it, Tori is cool.

This cover is amazing! Thanks, CTU2 fan!

Amos is very good at doing covers. She once did an album of covers titled "Strange Little Girls," of men's songs (including Eminem's "Stan") sung in a women's point of view. An interesting work ...

That's a cool disc. Some of the covers are pretty weird, but it's still cool.

I also like her cover of "Losing My Religion", I think it's only on the Higher Learning soundtrack.

Kate Bush isn't cute enough any more.

Try replacing John and Paul from the Beatles

...Mick Jagger from the Stones
...Freddie Mercury from Queen

....it just doesn't work.
