It seems that almost everyone here believes that Gloria WILL be played...

WHY?...

Because I really don't think so
 
I dont think so either. Im sure it was on here somewhere that I read that Bono doesnt like the lyrics anymore or something? So if that's the case, id say it was unlikely to make a comeback. That and the fact that Bono couldnt cope with the Chorus.
 
He said the lyrics were very naive...

I think if anything, we could see a snippet of October somewhere, since it's conveniently snippet-length
 
I thought Bono said that he simply didn't like the studio recording because he felt he sounded like a girl.

Probably the main reason people feel Gloria will return is because it was played for all of the eighties, it's a fan favourite, and if they wish to represent each album, the only other choice from October is the title track.

I keep hoping Gloria will come back but I don't believe it will. I'd love to see October return to its rightful position before New Year's Day, though.
 
I don't know, October is good before NYD... but Last Night on Earth/Until the End of the World/New Year's Day is pretty lethal

That's true. However, I think they may move away from UTEOTW --> NYD as they have been doing that for the best part of a decade. That probably means they won't bring back October before NYD either, but hopefully it will mean another great transition ...
 
I'd like to think Gloria could be a little revamped. I heard a cover of it by a Christian band called Audio Adrenaline that made the song sound very classic rock and I think if U2 did that it would fit in well between songs like Desire and All Because Of You. (ps, you should check out the AA version)
