Aerosmith will cover U2

[mads]

I'm actually looking forward to this. I haven't listened to Aerosmith in years, but I used to be a big fan. They have some great albums.

 

[u2thewho]

Yessss! Like everyone else here, I would never have guessed Seconds, Do You Feel Loved?, with the "with my nails under your hide" line (but less of a dance beat) seems more their thing.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Wow, that's awesome! Can't wait for it!

 

[fna692002]

Let me be the first to say that I LOVE Aerosmith, but if you want a band 100x more lazy than U2.....its Aerosmith. All they care about now is $$$$

 

[Bono's Betty]

Interesting song choice. Looking forward to hearing it.

Don't even joke about something that awesome.

 

[tuwie]

ooooooo i'm intrigued

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Interesting.

I wonder if they'll update the lyrics for a post Cold War world.

 

[Alisaura]

Anyone else surprised that Aerosmith has even heard of Seconds?

As noted, an interesting choice... I don't know anything about Aerosmith beyond what I've heard on the radio, but I'm very curious about how this will sound.

 

[An Cat Gav]

That's a really cool choice from them. They've gone up in my estimations!

 

[u2wildhoney]

weird choice...I like some of the Aerosmith's songs, but I can hardly imagine them playing their own version of Seconds..

 

[dismantleme]

awesome!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

say goodbye....
say goodbye....
say goodbye....
SAY GOODBYEEEEEEEEEAIAIAIAIAIEIEIEIEIEIEIEYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I actually saw Aerosmith once (my ex-gf won tix off the radio), and I was surprised at how good they were. I mean, they're pretty old, but they still rocked. This was in the 90s sometime, and I wished they'd played a little more of their more classic stuff, but still good.

Shocked they chose Seconds, about the last song I'd expect anyone to cover in the U2 catalog, but I love it and I hope they do it justice.

 

[scottyT]

this should probably be awesome. Most covers of U2 are pretty great.

I'm going to go against the grain and say it's a fairly obvious choice for a hard rock band. Listening to Aerosmith's 70s stuff I think War material would be a perfect fit.

 

[AtomicBono]

The Rogue Wave cover of Seconds isn't that bad either.

Yeah that's a nice cover; it's what got me into Rogue Wave actually.

 

[joerags]

Aerosmith should cover "Mysterious Ways"

 

[Canadiens1131]

Mysterious Ways with a bluesy minor pentatonic scale would rock.

 

[u2fan628]

"I want to be an air borne Ranger,I want to live the life of danger!"

 

[RavenBlue]

Aerosmith have always been one of those bands that grates on my nerves. However, it's nice to see them choose an older song and I'm curious to hear how it turns out.

 

[MrBrau1]

They've never had anything but good things to say about U2.

Ya'll need to hear what Joe Perry said about Kite

Goes to listen to "Uncle Salty"

 

[last unicorn]

I love Aerosmith and have seen them live a couple of times.
Can't wait to hear them covering U2.
And what did Joe Perry say about Kite?

 

[U2girl]

I second that. What did J. Perry have to say about Kite?

 

[LyricalDrug]

Joe Perry said, "whenever I want to stop time, I put this song on," about Kite.

Personally, I think Aerosmith is pretty cheesy but it's cool that they're covering U2.

 

[IanIinTheSky]

Personally, I think Aerosmith is pretty cheesy but it's cool that they're covering U2.

God, I hate it when bands are cheesy.

(Puts on video of U2 dressed as Village People dancing to disco music)

 

[Utoo]

Let's hope that this inspires U2 to do Seconds again!

 

[shart1780]

I really, really dislike Aerosmith. I don't like them at all.

Dream on is a great song, and Perry likes my favorite U2 song. That's all the good I can find in them.
