Shame on him for transposing down the epic "MINE" in the second verse. He just probably doesn't have the range for the song and it sounds much less emotional in a lower pitch. Just my opinion.
Why so critical ? it's the feeling and the Moment...Someone that you love could be singing this song to you rite know and it would still be perfect no matter what they sounded like.This song has such an incredible range that hardly anyone-set aside a few greats- can sing it that well..He no doubt picked it because of his love for the song.
"Oh... My love. My darling. I've hungered for your touch a long and lonely time. And time goes bye , so slowly, and time can do so much, are you still mine? I need your love, God speed your love to me"
@cheezkid live maybe, but you have to keep in mind that hearing him on the tube singing live and actually being there when he's singing live are 2 incredibly different scenarios. I didn't believe it until my cousin dragged me to their show I was wowed. And this was last year when Bono was clearly aged above 50. I cannot imagine his stage power during the 90's! The "faggotry" you speak of may be true with his showmanship- he's no easy celeb to like- but u2 is a concert band and they own the stage
How do you guys not see the point in what he is doing? Hes singing it in a chilled out way as an intro to another song. See their actual recorded cover its more up to par with your standards.
U2 gross killed the song!!! Let the greats only sing this song and yes Bono or booner whatever his name is killed it ever will be a great well maybe to deaf people ha!!
God U2 sucks balls killed this song big time this dumb fuck should of left this song alone and just enjoy the greats from the 50s and 60s sing this song and not let him self look like a complete ass up there U2 suuuucks
I don't see any of you being the biggest rockstar in the world, so until then shut the hell up and leave the legend alone, because he has better songs and has a right to sing this if he wants.
@BonoWeCanBeOne What a childishly petty statement. WE all have our own opinion and do not have to be 'big rockstars' to state them because this is what these comment threads are for. In my own,non rock star, opinion Bono really fkd this classic up.
... it is simply a segue between their songs which they did often during the ZOOTV tour. A simple version, one singer, one acoustic guitar. I think it is exactly what it was supposed to be. Why would people try to compare it to a Righteous Brothers studio track.... that is retarded.
Remember that this is the man who sang With Or Without You. You can't say that this lovely erotic voice can't sing a love song like Unchained Melody... Don't be so bad with Bono!
the concert version... meh. but their cover, actually, is quite good i thought. its like how some people hate mary j blige's cover for "One". i like it AND i like the original. i think ppl want their favorite songs left unchanged, because they favorited them in their original forms. which i understandable. but this is just bonos interpretation of the song. and as a seperate interpretation not meant to compete with the original its good. just means that bono agrees with u- he likes the song too
I love the song "Unchained Melody" and I'm quite positive about U2, but this is just really bad...The beauty of the song is the way it is sung and not the text itself...a thing completely missed by U2...
people rubishing this are dead in the head, he did it better than anyone. U2 are the greatest band in the world, best there is and was and will be. Michael Jordan
Some idiots here are missing the point of this cover snippet. This was played as a very subdued snippet during U2's Zoo TV tour in 92' - 93'. It served merely as part of the transition between "New Year's Day" and "End of the world" during those shows. Bono could and can sing this song for real if he wanted to (see their studio cover version of this song).
He should be ashamed of himself for butchering this song as much as he did.This song is very difficult to sing correctly and he doesn't have the vocals to do it.
Why ruin the fuck out of one of the best songs in history!!! Thumbs up if you agree
