  1. WTF, I'm only getting audio in the left channel with my UABRS vinyl
  2. That sucks. Cleaning my room, actually quite scary I'm enjoying it.
  3. That's a bit scary for sure.

    Watched the 1986 Self Aid DVD a few moments ago, it's pure magic, especially Bono's voice.
  4. One of the scariest things I've ever done, that's for sure.

    The Self Aid show is awesome. Bono's voice was just amazing back then, hitting the notes he did and the beautiful tone of it. Even now, it has a nice sound to it - not massively strong, but just smooth and sweet.
  5. You have the DVD of the Self Aid show, I thought not, since it isn't on your trade list.

    Bono's voice on the 360 tour has been one of the best ever.
  6. I've watched it on Youtube several times.

    Even at the end of Vertigo (third leg) also, it was getting much better then something happened in South America. Buenos Aires as an example, All I Want Is You. But when they hit Australia, and then the live Kite version on the Window In The Skies single (I love that song so much, loved it then, love it now) is just mindblowing.
  7. Yeah, and then came 360 with much more beauty in the voice than on Vertigo.
  8. Sure did. I think the near-four years rest after Vertigo did him well. Usually right towards the end of the tour is when the voice starts getting a lot better, because it's a break between legs and gives him (and the band) rest on whatever it is what they're doing.
  9. On 360 his voice reached its peak on the Euro 2010 leg and then stayed up there. He lost the falsetto a bit towards the end though. His falsetto was extraordinary on Euro 2010.
  10. But to be able to keep your voice like that, even at 50 nearly like it was 20 years prior, is incredible.

    Very rarely do many singers still have the same tone they did 20 years ago (almost) is amazing. They'd all have good vocal coaches surely. Steven Tyler can still scream as good as he did in 1990, and better than he did at any time in the 70s. Incredible. After all those drugs, the drinking, the screaming since the mid-60s; shouldn't be able to.
  11. Combined with Bono having toured so much. He's improved in some areas nowadays compared to 20 years ago, he's better at holding notes, has opera, can hit high notes in a wholly different way...
  12. I remember reading an article a long time ago about how his voice was wrecked after Popmart (was it ever good on that tour?) and then he came in to the studio, started on the 'I'm a man, not a child' part in Kite and knocked everyone over with how suddenly amazing he'd got again.
