First, his voice throughout all of Vertigo was just subpar....
next, every show making the same exact speech before Miracle Drug and One of every single show. I mean, Bono of the past was always so spontaneous. the kind of guy you watch and it just gives you chills and drops your jaw because of his raw emotion and spontaneity. For example, the end of Bullet on Elevation...I mean every show he changed up what he was saying. I know some people say a lot of their live show is rehearsed but from a musicians standpoint, it is not.
Now, with his activism...Its great that he is making a difference and I def. think he should keep doing it, however don't let it interfere with the real reason you are who you are. I'm all for making a difference if you have a voice, but its just too much. Hes shoving this in our faces and preaching to us.
Even larry Adam and Edge were saying how it was getting to be a bit much toward the latter part of Vertigo. I agree with them. They are in U2 and completely committed to making the best music they can possibly make.
I just don;t think B-man is into it anymore.
Lastly, reading all these articles about his activism..Anyone notice he says the same things. Its always the same quotes. At least be refreshing. How many more times can I hear about the trip to Ethiopia he took with Ally right after Live Aid...ahhhh
Just venting
