Fucking, Austria Superthread

Ah, finished just in time to have ice chunks floating in it, eh?

 

[Axver]

It saddens you, it'll fucking kill me.

Fuck Interference alters. We need alters to vote in the election. Just spam marginal electorates with Labour voters.

 

[phillyfan26]

Now to build up the guts to say it in IQ

I've said it before.

And I've received lashes for it.

 

[Screwtape2]

I mean, the song selection was largely crap, the song performances were crap, Bono's vocals were crap, the America lovefest was crap ... I can't think of anything besides Gone and the reappearance of a few lost tracks that wasn't crap!

Has a band's tours ever gone from rock to pop so quickly?

 

[Axver]

And i should add, all for personal greed. Tax cuts? Yeah, like the average person will ever see a red cent of them.

JOHN KEY ISN'T THE AVERAGE PERSON?

WHO KNEW.

Sure. Thats bound to happen if you're going to go through a listen to the whole tour and grab snippets from left right. I guess it appeals to me because thats the period of time when I fell in Love with U2.

Well the Elevation tour was at its end.....but....y'know.

 

[coolian2]

Woah, the thread came to a screaming halt there.

 

[Axver]

Oh, I do enjoy The Fly from Elevation. What do you guys have against it?

 

[phillyfan26]

Edge fucking with the guitar tone.

 

[corianderstem]

I really like The Fly from that tour, too. Mainly for the intro and that sliding guitar riff/chord/thing between the intro and the kick into the actual song.

It's not The Fly from Zoo or Vertigo.

It isn't bad in itself, but compared to other incarnations it is rather bad.

And the solo

The intro is made of Win.

 

[phillyfan26]

The intro to Elevation Fly is great, agreed.

 

[phillyfan26]

The Fly Guitar Tones
1. Zoo TV
2. Vertigo
100. Studio
1,000,000. Elevation

 

[Screwtape2]

I like the Fly on Elevation but the real crime was Discotheque. Way to take the kick out of a song.

Actually, that's not the case at all. I've snippet-checked most tours and the following happened:

UF, Popmart: opinion didn't change.
JT, Lovetown: liked them more
ZooTV, Elevation: liked them much, much less

 

[Axver]

I agree with this partially. I think Vertigo was clearly the best version, Larry's drumming aside. I wouldn't place ZooTV and Elevation that far apart though. ZooTV was solid, while Elevation's reinvention was interesting and one of the rare examples of creativity on that tour.

i like it too.

 

[coolian2]

I was fond of the Staring at the Sun snippet though

 

[Axver]

Quoted for truth. Elevation Discotheque is dead boring.

 

[Diemen]

That's great. I like Diemen, seems really nice. Also posts occassionally in FYM, usually dropping BOMBS on Diamond.

Well shucks...

It was great to watch U23D with someone who knew all the inside jokes. And I can relate that cori is indeed as cool in person as she is online. Had a great time, cori!

All this talk of Tours/Bootlegs though is going to make me dig up my DVD's and chuck 'em on my External Hard Drive.

 

[Axver]

I was fond of the Staring at the Sun snippet though

It was better than murdering the song acoustically.

 

[Screwtape2]

I was fond of the Staring at the Sun snippet though

I like that too but the song just dies.

 

[Axver]

Snippet-checking 25 November 1989, Tokyo right now. Mmm, Lovetown.

 

[phillyfan26]

Some PLEBAn wrote a description of how Bono walks, and I noticed it's the exact same way I walk.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you should not go to PLEBA.
