48. In A Little While: I love Bono’s raspy, world-weary voice; I love the bluesy guitar riff that repeats through the song, and most of all I love the refrain.
Best part: “Slow down my beating heart/slowly/slowly love”


Yes! Yes! His rasp. Bono's voice is shot on ATYCLB but it makes the songs GREAT! Like a Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson roughness to the songs. I love the rasp.

nod The crazy thing is, he almost intentionally did that to his voice. Bono wasn't pleased with his anthemic-80's era voice and initially started smoking to 'rough-up' his singing. I like it though, gives him character.

What do y'all think of "If You Wear That Velvet Dress"? I think it's one of their coolest and most interesting songs.

I love it. It's intoxicating and that not hyperbole: it actually makes you feel intoxicated like you have been drinking wine. Kind of hypnotic.

Have you heard the solo version Bono did on the Jules Holland CD?

It's very cool. Completely resung and completely revamped musically. Almost sounds like a Bond theme.

Yeah, it's cool, totally unlike much else in the U2 catalog. My favorite version of the song is the live one from the 'Popmart' tour. Totally one of the sexiest songs from their entire career.

I love Pop

This DVD is excellent! Every bit as good as the two that came out during the Elevation tour. 'Original of the Species' might have just climbed up 20 spaces due to the live performance! Buy it!!

Does it look like the "City of Blinding Lights" video? I love how that video is shot and edited.
