Originally posted by superkev:That’s a bit harsh. Bono has always belted out the tunes that have been in a high key, without originally having any vocal training so inevitably as he gets older he will lose some of the range he had from 30 years ago. It’s still a good show.
Maybe you should go and catch iron maiden n tour
But some songs are good because they hade such a energy and also the high notes are the highlights.
When you stop doing the most intressting things right in the songs they stop being intressting.....
Why not stop playing them and focus on the songs that you can't handle?
For me as a voice fanatic it gets alot less intressting on a live show if the singers doesent match his standard.
Ofcourse this a common thing when singers gets older, but some singers doesnt loose much of their range....
It is what you do with what you have left that is the important thing....
The best thing the band could do is play songs that Bono can handle, the early songs from 80-83 is something the band plays better now and Bono sounds good on them....
The JT, LT and some of the 00s songs with higher note can be left....
