HALLELUJAH.

Best post ever

 

[corianderstem]

Love it!

 

[Sanchez]

this song is one of the worst U2 songs, in my opinion.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Great song! Full of energy and great singing and drumming!!! The whole band feels really confortable. I particularly like hearing Larry counting and then hiting the drums hard. Jesus Christ Rocks!

 

[Bono's shades]

God, I LOVE this song!

Has anyone ever heard the Woody Guthrie original? I imagine his version would be quite different.

"1,2,3,4"!!!

"HALLE......HALLE-LUJAH!"....

Here's an MP3 of Woody Guthrie singing it, by the way:

I'm pretty sure it's in the public domain by now, so I think this is actually legal to share (imagine that). This isn't the only version of it he recorded, but they all sound more or less the same.

U2 changed the original chorus ("Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand...") to the "HALLELUJAHS" that kick so much ass. And as much as I love Woody, the original is sorely missing one Larry Mullen, Jr., and will always be vastly inferior as a result. Man, the Sun sessions rocked.

HALLE--HALLELUJAH
HALLE--HALLELUJAH
HALLE--HALLELUJAH
THEY WOULD LAY JESUS CHRIST IN HIS GRAVE

HALLE--HALLELUJAH
HALLE--HALLELUJAH
HALLE--HALLELUJAH
THEY WOULD LAY JESUS CHRIST IN HIS GRAVE

Hey Typhoon - cheers for that! This sounds totally different from how I expected it! It's nice to hear the original - thanks again!






...but U2's ROCKS MORE!!!
