question about sunday bloody sunday

[bloodysunday972]

Has anybody noticed that the speed of how they play it has changed ?

From the War tour up till Zoo Tv its played fast and has alought of energy then when Popmart came they slowed it down to almost a ballad speed and the Elevation tour It was still kinda slow.


Just wanna see if anybody agrees its slowed down a bit?

No offense, but it might be that they got older and didn't have as much energy? When you watch Red Rocks, you see these young, hyper energetic boys literally running around and jumping .They just aren't 22 anymore, but that's okay I like both versions. I became a fan at Red Rocks and I will always love that era but when I saw it on the Elevation tour 2 years ago (HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG ALREADY?!) I didn't miss a thing. I love it!

no I tink Bloodysundays right............I dont tink it has to do with age though.......maybe the maturing musical process of the boys' music over the years has made them slow it down. They find that playing it slower nowadays is more of a 'respectful' manner than fast and hard and hyper?


Hey, remember, Im very thick, so Im wrong.

I think you have it right, mad1. No less passion, just a different pace for the respect of the lyrics. I love it - either way.
