anyone else sick of bullet?

yes, so many worthy replacements...

 

[popmuzik99]

I actually do like bullet better this tour, but there's so many other songs I'd rather hear.

 

[walkon11]

The song completely changes every tour so it's actually quite fresh for me.

This tour Bullet is just amazing!

I'd have to agree...I really dig The Edge's work this time...nice bluesly solo, great intro off of SBS.

 

[oots]

I was never really a huge fan of Bullet, so yeah... replacement would be good! it doesn't seem realistic though, they play it at every show. i'm hoping for some changes in Leg 2!

anyone else sick of bullet?

it started and he said "I'm sick of this song, I'm not letting you hear this..." and hung up.

He knows I agree so it was fine with me.

Ha! What a coincidence.

 

[bono_man2002]

Can' say I'm Sick Of Bullet.....I'm enjoying the sound of it (and while I was at the shows)
But then I've never really disliked the song.

 

[Niceman]

I really like this version of Bullet, so I'm not sick of it.

 

[Axver]

Anyone else NOT sick of Bullet?

Oh now I remember! Thanks Axver!

 

[popmuzik99]

Anyone ever hear bullet from i think the wembly zootv concert? He goes nuts and starts telling all the big countries to f off. Definitely the angriest version I've ever heard (and that's why it's my favorite..lol).

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Anyone else NOT sick of Bullet?

I'm not...but I haven't heard Bullet live enough yet...so I'll see.

 

[Niceman]

What date is that, popmuzik?

 

[U2DMfan]

I still like Bullet, but it wouldnt be the end of the world if they benched it.

 

[bono_man2002]

I still like Bullet, but it wouldnt be the end of the world if they benched it.

Yeah they could rotate it for a few shows.

 

[CTU2fan]

I guess I'm in the minority here...I don't like Bullet this tour, w/the bluesy solo...to me it wimps it right out.

And I need the talking...between the hands snippet & the solo you could fall asleep...give me Tempe '87 with the big chords & the spotlight any time.

 

[typhoon]

Anyone else NOT sick of Bullet?

I'm not. Please, Edge, play it slower. It's not slow enough yet. The entire encore set should be one long performance of "Bullet the Blue Sky." Bono could bring back the "slappin' 'em down" part and count up a hundred dollars at a time until he reaches Africa's full debt. It'll fit in with the African theme.

 

[Lila64]

yes, so many worthy replacements...

Yeah, they've played it the last couple of tours. Bring back Refugee, Two Hearts Beat As One, Mofo, Desire, Angel Of Harlem, oh hell, I could go on and on, who am I kidding (snuck back by the computer, couldn't resist!)

 

[popmuzik99]

What date is that, popmuzik?

1993-08-11 (the day before my b-day, which was the second wembley...lol.) So, it was actually zooropa not zootv.

 

[atikicat]

I loved Bullet/Running from the Zoo tour. Haven't heard it on this tour yet. Is it similar...better/worse?

 

[U2DMfan]

Bullet is theatrics, that's why it's lasted as long as it has.

I like when the Edge rips off a solo, so I don't mind it so much, the song was great up until the last tour, when it really started to become stale. I still think it was great on POPmart, especially when it was Miami/Bullet that was ultra cool.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

It seems like except for a few of us...everyone hates Bullet.

 

[typhoon]

I thought it was pretty boring on PopMart too. It was just the ZooTV version except slower. And it lost its buddy, "Running To Stand Still" (which is the main reason "Bullet" is tolerable this time around).

The Joshua Tree/Lovetown and ZooTV/Zooropa versions were awesome, though.

 

[CTU2fan]

These Wembley Nights '93 boots are really fantastic...

 

[popmuzik99]

These Wembley Nights '93 boots are really fantastic...

Yeah, I only have the first one, but it's great. One of the few times they played Babyface too. Also, zooropa live.

 

[U2DMfan]

I loved the thing with Bono and the umbrella, the west side story la la la's, but it wasn't as good after they dropped Miami.

Like I said, it's theatrics, musically the song was at it's zenith on Zoo Tv, obviously.

 

[Niceman]

I'm listening to that track right now...Isn't modern technology great!!!

 

[Axver]

U2 should just do us all a favour and repeat ZooTV Bullet --> RTSS. Sure, it may be repeating themselves, but it was so damn incredible. My favourite part of ZooTV, especially when they brought in Dirty Day to segue into it.

 

[U2DMfan]

the trio Bullet-RTSS-Streets on Zoo TV is the best thing U2 have ever done, period, album, live, whatever.

throw in a usual excellent segue into Bullet whether it was Bad or Dirty Day or whatever and it's just icing on the cake.

August 12 is my birthday, too.
