Intro song

[bonoz]

hey, i just today found out that the song that leads into COBL at the start is
Arcade fire = wake up.
i didn't know about that song until now.

i went to dc concert yesterday.. song came .. had some idea that it would lead into cobl..

did you guys first knew that that song would lead into cobl when u saw them this tour first time?

there is a new thread asking what song that is just about every other day here

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

no one reads anymore.

 

[U2Man]

Let's turn this thread into a love thread...then it wouldn't be totally wasted.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

there hasn't been a good love thread in a while.

 

[bonoz]

but how many of you knew 100% that that song was the song leading into cobl the first TIME you went to the show.

I knew that the song was the lead in song from reading the internets.

I had the Arcade Fire CD before that, so already knew and loved the song.

 

[bonoz]

see i wasn't completely sure about that until the lights went dark...
should i worry about that?

 

[bonoz]

im really bummed that i didn't know the name of the song..

the reason why i didn't read into the tour so much was because i wanted it to be a surprise..

i didn't wanna know what exactly went on during the concert.

 

[Chizip]

no reason to be bummed

 

[bonoz]

alright man!

do you have a video of that song transitioning into cobl? i just wanna relive it again

Poor U2dork

Not one bit! good for you! I wish I had the will power NOT to know what was coming in the concert so it would be a surprise.. there's alot of setlist junkies here so most people know about the Arcade Fire song but you and most of the people in the arena might have no clue so it's a perfectly valid discovery on your part. You should check out the Arcade Fire album 'Funeral'.. it's really good.

Cheers,
Jim

Funeral


sleeping is giving in, no matter what the time is
sleeping is giving in, so lift those heavy eyelids

people say that you die, faster than without water
but we know its just a lie, scare your son scare your daughter

people say that your dreams, are the only things that save you
come on baby in our dreams, we can live our misbehaviors

 

[scottyT]

so wait, what's the song they play before they come on?

 

[Zoomerang96]

ban bonoz.

 

[U2SavesTheWorld]

I swear to God, this has to be an alter.

There is NO WAY this is real.

 

[Slamming J]

Err... It doesn't just lead in COBL, it leads in U2 in general. It doesn't matter what song they play first, Wake Up always introduces them.

 

[sniggirb]

U2 should change the intro songs and throw us off. Inspire a new generation of "whats the song before U2 comes on'

 

[scottyT]

seriously.... EVERYONE, what's the tune the PA blasts before the band comes out to play us their ditties?

best Arcade Fire song. hands down.

U2 should play that before one show instead of Wake Up just to confuse everyone.

If you've ever posted at U2.com, now you have to click this agreement every time you go on... torture (as if U2.com was not torture enough) Maybe new users should have to read the Vertigo FAQs before coming on....

OK I'm just kidding but, I agree... make the lambs stop screaming...its like country music
