Bruce has so much of a better voice than Bono. Hell on
Where the Streets have No Name at MSG the other night, Bruce should have sang the whole song. Bono is thinner than ever. Sad really. How soon til U2 calls Kevin Elson up looking for "magic?"
He can still do his stuff, although, his voice is definitely thinner sounding. That's the first thing I noticed on Letterman with the new music. He did a whole tour, and his voice has held up pretty good surprisingly and put on a great show this tour. But he needs to be selective on his song choice in concert and what works better as his voice ages and the types of songs he records as far as range as time goes on for him. I'm sure they still have an album or two left in them.
Jana, I wasn't trying to turn this into a pissing match- I am sorry if I put down Bono. I love the guy and think he is/was a great front man, a legend. Perhaps Bruce just hasn't lost his voice as much as Bono has, IDK. I have 50 boots of Bruce and he cracks all the time.
Here is the clip(sorry, it's "I still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" not WTSHNN). Bono sounds ok here.

You can tell Bruce is a little apprehensive singing U2's song here..a little timid IMO.
