Imagine This Tour

[Shawn Bonneau]

What is U2 had no backing tapes. All they had were two mics, two guitars, drums and a bass. Nothing else. It would make a U2 unbelieveable. God, that would be amazing. Nothing added, 100% live.

Then U2 will have finally surpassed Ashley Simpson...

 

[Axver]

That is exactly what I want. Exactly what we had pre-UF.

 

[Iskra]

Why?
its a key element to thier sound.
I want to hear Edge's echo effects and the tape loops.
This is like those people that complain about movies with too much CGI. Its not the CGI its the story. A good song is a good song and the tape loops can add to it.
Not that I don't love U2 stripped down too but I don't mind the tape loops at all.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

They can still have effects, just no tape loops. Which means, Bad and Streets will have to be re-worked. I still love everything else, I just think it would be cool to see one concert like that.

I think they can keep some stuff, really, but it needs to stop being restrictive. There may have been a loop in Bad, but it can be anything between 6 and 16 minutes long. You don't see that on something such as Gone. If the technology restricts the length of a song (whether it's tape loops or visuals onscreen or anything like that), it should be removed.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

agreed... same with Beautiful Day

don't like that loop in gone...the song seems so...artificial.


imagine if there were no backing tracks....
it's not easy even if you try
