LAME lyrics. And a totally unoriginal song in every respect, as well. Anyone can write lyrics like those. How many times have people used the broken wings line? Seriously.

Anyway, Bono has some great lyrics. some REALLY great lyrics. Stapp has nothing like Bono... at all... Some of the stuff on MOP was better, I'll grant you that, but none of it ever got close to Bono's better work, especially Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby. I love Achtung Baby. I think that is my favorite album of all time. I can listen to every single song. Every single one. And I am picky, as we all know...

Myles feels more comfortable with a guitar in his hands, he was a guitar player before he was a singer and has always had one strapped on.Plus in just adds to there sound and gives Mark more opportunitys to be creative.You dont have to hope, its all true! But we do have to waite!

..... yeh......... myles is a good guitar player............ i mean.........he was aguitar tutor before he formed his own band...............

altered · 03-03-2006, 03:43 PM

Yeah, he really is a good guitar player.

Oh, don't think I meant that Stapp's best work is as good as Bono's on classic albums like Joshua Tree and Achtung baby. No way is it because Bono is a legend....Stapp isn't. Bono has consistently been really good, lyrically, on all the U2 albums while Stapp has....well, he hasn't been great since Human Clay. But all I meant was that, in a lot of respects, when I listen to Stapp's lyrics(on MOP, mainly) I am reminded a lot of Bono and some of the things he writes about. I can see the parallels between the two.

As for Achtung, ah, I love a lot of the songs on there(particularly "One"), but I prefer Joshua Tree, both lyrically and musically. JT just seems to be stronger(look at the top 7 tracks....just brilliant) in pretty much every way. JMO, though.

You have to watch the whole lyrics and not only the broken wings line. And these are not the only well written lyrics to me. Look at Burn It Down: The song is talking about something I can identify with. Well I don't often "drink too much", but I can identify with the whole meaning of the song. And Broken Wings, to me, is a very good song. Just listen to the intro, it's so beautiful. Where do you find anything like this in similiar bands to AB? Mark did write many good songs on ODR to me. Great melodies, emotions and solos! Or look at Watch Your Words; this song is just unconventional!

Another great ballad to me is Shed My Skin. So emotional towards the end. Well-written lyrics, nice songstructure with this powerful pre-chorus and bridge/end.

I was talking about him from a lyrical perspective, not performance or vocal-wise. The lyrics on Weathered weren't that great(imo) and his solo lyrics aren't amazing, either. They're good, but not great(imo) and that was my point.
