viva davidoff and bottoms appreciation thread

[Registered Dude]

let's take a moment and appreciate these two tunes, simply for the fact that they're rarely mentioned around these parts, and that they're sonically interesting...

I see no reason why they can't perform an acoustic Zoo Station in the near future, given that Bottoms amounts to the same thing.

I'll give them the thumbs up, especially Bottoms!!

I've played Viva Davidoff a number of times but never actually heard it. Bottoms is a killer remix, however.

never heard either of the two, and i think we voted Viva Davidoff as the worst U2 song

Bottoms is awesome, great alternate/instrumental version of Zoo Station. I like the different guitar and bass parts in the chorus, as well as that bridge section from Salome.

that's exactly why that happened. no one heard of the song, and instead of not voting, hey let's just vote off the track we don't know cuz it must suck!

it's too bad.. while there are definitely stronger instrumental tracks in the u2 catalog, Viva is interesting and has some cool stuff going on.. it'd be effective in a film, or put to video

Is viva (and bottoms for that matter) really U2 or passengers?

Neither.

It's Eno's home alarm system slowed way down.
