Gareeh Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 MK Ultra was better than Bliss or Citizen Erased for me at Wembley and both songs are far superior to Dark Shines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The piano in the background of the studio version wins it for me. (Darkshines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MopManMuse Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Dark Shines = Mk Ultra Studio wise both brilliant songs would make a judgement till i hear both live and i doubt i ever will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyndris Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 If I had to choose between Dark Shines and MK Ultra, I'd take Darkshines no doubt. If only they'd play it live (and full, not with the first solo cut out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picko Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I like the song but every time I hear "Don't let the sun in your heart decay" I always have the image in my head of Bono singing it. The resemblance in the voice is just uncanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albi5 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi everyone, Does anybody have ever heard a ringing at the minute 3.55 of this track?? It seems like the sound of a pop-up message on facebook. I'm talking about a CD bought at the shop... Alberto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyP117 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 There's no way Bono can reach that high range without going boring falsetto Bono's got a great voice, he's more likely to have an off day these days but he was hitting all kinds of big chest notes on the last U2 tour. Quite impressive for a man his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyP117 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Until you make a video about it I can't believe it. Some of his high chest notes, going up to a C-sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furygirl Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Shame that Bono has a much wider chest range than Matt That may be true, but I remember when I saw Muse open for U2 in '09, I was thinking Bono had really lost it. His falsetto was def not what it once was. Kinda screechy. Could have just been an off night, I don't know. I haven't really heard any of their newer stuff.

His falsetto has definitely gone down hill over the years. He used to be pretty good at it, but years of smoking seem to have taken its toll. He's still pretty good at belting out the chest notes though, was really impressed when I saw them at Glasgow '09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butrus Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Bono's voice now is like a roller-coaster really It can vary from gig to gig It got much better in 2010 after a break in the tour they made due to his back problems, but in Sao Paolo broadcast it was totally awful as far as I remember if we talk about Big Freeze my first thought was not U2 - it was Coldplay don't know why it was so then, but now I hear more U2 in it than CP great song with a big chorus all's cool apart from cheesy backing vox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
