    Yes. Only a few tracks escape the carnage.

    Interesting how he's improved...compare those to The Best Thing vocals...was it the surgery or what?
  3. He had an all time worst from 1997 to 2002, then he has slowly improved. I think it has to do more with singing lessons and learning to adapt his voice usage to his current state.
  4. same with Pop...Listen to LNOE for example. Both GREAT songs and records still

    No, he's allergic to some (desert) plants which affected his voice. It all started in Nevada at the start of Popmart indeed. He only knew the cause during the Elevation tour. That combined with long and many meetings for Jubilee 2000. (U2byU2)

    I know the allergy thing... but no allergy is sustained for 5+ years
  7. He kept buying the wrong plants for Ali for 5 years

    That's a cop-out. Fact is he was not a trained singer and partied a lot and smoked like a chimney. He has improved but the effects are still there.
  9. he did use some sort of oxygen mask thing during the elevation tour as an after effect, I think?
  10. Well it does if you don't know you're allergic to it, right?
    He didn't know about the glaucoma for years either
    But yeah, drinking and smoking will have had something to do with it too

    Better get on a writing a review for it. There are so many highlights! Wire, Indian Summer Sky, Seconds, The Electric Co, Gloria, Party Girl....


    Love that show
  12. Apple should have approached U2 for the Apple Music Festival this year since they're not on tour.
