According to Bono (per the Times), Robert Palmer told Adam Clayton, the bassist of U2, that Bono was singing in the wrong pitch for him."God, would you ever tell your singer to just take down the keys a little bit," Bono recounted. "He'd do himself a favor and he'd do us all a favor who have to listen to him."

"But I was thinking out of my body," Bono added. "I wasn't thinking about singing. I didn't really think about changing keys. Did we ever change a key?" He did add that though he doesn't like most of his vocal performances, he does appreciate his take on "Vertigo," the 2004 single from "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" (per Genius). "It's the way it connects with the crowd," he explained of his singing on the track.

In the same interview, Bono admitted that he still didn't like the name of the band, which was intended to sound like a spy boat but actually just sounds like "this kind of acquiescence."
