What's everyone's stance on Bono changing lyrics to old songs? I tend to hate them lol. Here are my most hated examples:
-The Fly - changing "One man's lie" to "One man's porky pie"??? What the hell?
-Streets - changing "I want to take shelter from the poison rain" to "see through the eye, of a hurricane" - I mean, it's not BAD, but why?
-Iris - changing "Took a thousand years to get here", to "took a thousand years to get TO here" - which just sounds bad IMO
And there are even some vocal/rhythmic things he does that have always boggled me:
-Real Thing - On the ZooTV tour, and I think subsequent tours (would have to check), instead of singing "Even better than the real thing" like rhythmically in time with the song, he would start the phrasing a half step early, or after, and just put the phrase into what sounds more like talking than being musical. It's hard to explain. He does a similar thing with the chorus of COBL.
There are a ton of other examples, but these have always bugged meWhat about you guys?
