how much Raine tries to be Bono untill now.
I knew that Bono was a major impact on his life, but i didn't know enough U2 to realize it. Raine has molded himself after Bono. And i now see a bit of the method to Raines madness. By going simpler he was tring to get more like U2's sound, he just lacked the subject matter and finesse that U2 had on the early albums.
for more proof listen to some old U2, check out what Bono thinks of War, and Televangalists (Lying awake), Anti-American Policies. even certain stage mannerisms seem to come from Bono........how much time exactly did raine spend in front of a mirror imitating Bono?
Someone should really email Bono and tell him about his biggest fan
i never realized.....

<p>And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping. The moon tells me a secret. My confidant. As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own. A million light reflections pass over me. It's source is bright and endless. She resuscitates the hopeless. Without her we are lifeless satellites dreaming dreams. And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt. Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism. I must crucify the ego before it's far too late. I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.

yeah i recognized "on a bed of nails I wait" from U2.. is there other stuff? hopefully not "i miss your purple hair"
Also I think the base in Naveed (the song) sounds like that from Bullet the Blue Sky.

oh the whole use the stage light to see the crowd is a Bono trick too, it's even the same kind.
as for not liking U2, i don't really like the new stuff alot, or the techno stuff, but there were some really good songs like "Exit", "Bullet the blue sky" (live is amazing) "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "with or with out you", "one"

. I love u2 and bono, and even though my idol is raine, in a freakish way its bono too, if what all you people are saying is true! 
InUnison wrote:Gr, I hope not. I hate U2
I know what you mean. While I wouldn't go so far as to say I "hate" them, they certainly are not one of my favorites. I actually bought one of their albums, Pop, and while I thought it was good, that's all I thought. I mean it wasn't great nor are any of their other songs that I know (mostly just the radio hits). I don't dislike U2, I just don't see what all the fuss is about.
Back on topic, I don't doubt that Raine is a fan of U2, but I don't think he makes a concious effort to copy them (or Bono) in lyrics, music, or whatever else. It's quite possible that he has been influenced by U2, but I don't think it's enough influence to say that the two bands really have the same sound.

You know CLumsyboy. When I first heard the Naveed CD I went to myself OMG, this reminds me so much of early U2.Then I thought I was being crazy cause I am a U2 fan. I didn't know at that time the influence Bono had on Raine and Edge had on Mike.
I see the similarities between Raine and Bono in more ways then one. I jokingly call Raine Bono JR. I told my friend the other night If Raine comes out with a Canadian Flag wrapped around him while singing Wipe That Smile-The Bono transformation will be complete.
On a serious note. I love that Raine finds influence from Bono, but I want Raine to be his own person. He is just as passionate as Bono is with lyrics, world views, etc, etc. I guess that is why I love both men as much as I do.
P.S. I wouldn't say Raine is imitating Bono, as much as you can see the influence. Then again, believe it or not, there are people out there who Raine has influenced. A person can do worse.

With Reference to SOT> I said that Raine must of been listening tot he Joshua Tree when he wrote that song.
Raine-On a bed of nails I wait
Bono-On a bed of nails she makes me wait(with or without you)
Raine-I watched the red orange glow
Bono-From the firefly, a red orange glow(bullet in the blue sky)
and let's not forget while U2 do Bullet, Bono shines a huge spotlight on the audience.
Watch the OLP DVD. I forgot what song, but Raine does the spotlight.
that seems to be the new things withlead singers Shinning spotlight on the audience.
