US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has come out and blamed the pro-Israel Lobby in America (AIPAC, ADL, ZOA, etc) for ruining her political career. While in congress she refused to sign the pro-Israel pledge and took a pro-Palestinian stance. Because of this, McKinney said “war was declared” on her by the Jewish lobby. In 2009 she told TIU's Ognir that “more than 99% of Congress work for Pro Zionist Israeli interests.”
I love watching clips from the Zoo TV Era, but there's something about Macphisto that unsettles me and creeps me out! But then again, I suppose that's the whole point of the character! When I see him doing that jittery walk and talking in that posh English accent, I have to force myself to remember that the real Bono is still inside! Great song, incredible, epic band, unmatched now and always.
I still wonder what the hell is Edge playing, if anything at all in this song. Either the guitar was drowned out by the synth sound or he's just strumming for visual effect.
believe it or not, that hiccup-py synth sound IS the Edge playing through a "Pan" effect at an extreme high intensity. the one that comes in at 00:35 is him.
sorry not "pan" i made a mistake, i meant "tremolo." "pan" is the volume going from left to right speakers and back. tremolo is that hiccupy effect, as if the guitar is on a CD that's skipping. if you listen to the beginning of "boulevard of broken dreams" by green day the first 5 seconds is a distorted guitar strumming through a heavy tremolo pedal also, just for reference.
He could sing it 15 years ago when ZOOTV tour was preforming - his voice was awsome, but unfortunately nowdays his voice breaks on less demanding songs, like in his live preformance of One on Vertigo tour, saw it in U2 3D just two weeks ago.
Who REALLY runs our world?

A U2 gem, thats not talked about much? But when played live sends shivers down your spine, with Edges guitar effects.

Zootv and PopMart showed how amazing Bono is when it comes to expressing his voice during difficult songs like Lemon.
Sadly i agree with ifkaMi that his voice at two Vertigo gigs i attended was not on par with what i have heard before in a live show.
They say he lost some of his range after smoking heavy in the early to late 90's but if this is the case how has Mick Jagger able to speak....LOL
Joking apart U2 are still in my view the BIGGEST and BEST band in the World

On the contrary, his vocal range is extraordinary. Just listen to live concerts of him in the 80's.

What's a pan? A guitar effect? I'd like to be able to create this sound if you'd be interested in telling me how it works.

Such a testament to U2 that Bono can actually sing as high as he can on the CD version of this song =D Half the female artists out nowadays can't.

I prefer the sydney version, The bass is kinda off here.
or maybe it's just mixed too loud, and easier to hear the slip-ups.
