    Am I the only one who thinks that the Edge's falsetto on The Wanderer is ridiculous? Not that he sings bad at all, just the "bla bla bla ma gua bla" bubbling is stupid


    The only reason I don't think it's stupid is because of how impressive it is that he can go that high, when he can also do something like Numb. I just really enjoy that version because of how intense it is that he's able to do that. I think that's his highest EVER falsetto in a song.

    That's true, agree then Even though it's more or less what I said: i'm not against the way he sings it (it's awesome, it's a VERY high tone, pretty difficult to reach - I have to warm up my throat a lot!!), but against the bla bla bla wailing

    I also thought it was silly at first, but you grow to like it - like Lemon.
    I think it's great how his silly, 50s pop style vocals contrast with the deep, sombre lead vocal.
  4. Sunday Bloody Sunday at popmart is great , maybe the best version of the song


  5. I don't think it's anywhere near the best version of the song (for me that honor goes to the rendition with Jay-Z, and the Rattle and Hum version is great because of the raw emotion). I do like Edge's version very much though, as it brings something completely different to the song. Does anyone know why they/he performed the song that way? I know they had not performed the song for some time and sort of re-discovered it for Sarajevo, but why was Edge singing it?
  6. best version is red rocks
  8. What I love about Edge's voice is how it has slowly become more and more in tune with Bono's over the years, which is probably why some people don't realise it's Edge singing in some sections!

    For me the best example of this is Mexico Popmart New Years Day. At 2:30 Bono goes into "Torn in two, we can be one". I still can't figure out when Bono finishes singing the word "one" and when Edge's backing "ahhah" comes in. They just match perfectly.

    For me the best version of NYD, I even prefer the loss of Larry's drums in the intro, I think it adds more atmosphere to the song and I wished that hadn't been overdubbed in the DVD.

    The same thing happens in Slane 2001 regarding the similarity between the voices
  10. The most awesome similarity between Bono's and Edge's voices it, without any doubt, Seconds.
  12. Two of my fave edge parts






    Edge is on fire here , the part just after MLK's speech were he just comes in is magic , really takes the song by the scruff of the neck and gives it a good kick in the arse, , and bono actually says at the end ( the 5.10 mark ) "fair play edge"
