Which song do you want? Its a charity album. Please buy your local version of the album (if you haven't done so already) and then swap for what you don't have.

As it states on the back of this album: Really bad karma if you steal this music!

 

[corianderstem]

Already bought the US version, and shelled out another $.99 for the Duran Duran track on iTunes.

 

[bonocomet]

Yep I did buy the US version too, no worries there!

Thank you Shag!

A look into the band's production of the song:

Larry: Hey guys, listen to my drumming. Isn't it great? If I hit these round boxes they make noise! LOL!

The band: Um, yeah... it's really good.

The Edge: Hey guys we should really spice this song up. Maybe some layered guitar and a little tapping? You know, some experimentation?

Bono and Adam: Yeah that sounds great! People won't be expecting it.

Larry: (Ears perk up and eyes dialate) Wait. What did you say? What are we now, frickin King Crimson? It looks like I better take the reigns on this one, guys. You're obviously still not ready to make decisions about our music.

Adam: But it's been 30 years... we...

Larry: Bono! Get me a lemonade. And make sure not to forget the mini umbrella this time!!

Bono: You got it Larry! (scampers off)

(The edge and Larry whimper doe-eyed in the corner of the studio)

 

[U2girl]

Yeah, because the drummer gets to decide on the music in U2.

Yes, but I had to act fast before someone accused me of being a mooch!

 

[Earnie Shavers]

U2 prove once again that they are an awful, awful cover band.

You don't have a CD store in Honduras?

Yes, I'm being difficult. If you seriously don't have a CD store transfer some money to me and Ill buy and post you a copy. The CDs about AU$27.00 plus postage plus a CD postage box thingie. I'm sure you could get it cheaper (and faster) from the USA though.

Anyway, the offer is there. If you want to discuss it my email address is belilindt (at] gmail [dot) com

Agreed

Mind you I loike All Along the Watchtower, Dear Prudence, and Everlasting Love.

 

[shart1780]

U2 have a few good covers. I like Everlasting love, Can't Help Falling In Love, Unchained Melody and Happiness is a Warm Gun.

This though.... It's not really BAD, it's just so boring.

^ I find the song itself rather boring. I don't think they could do much with it. It's not a real challenge. I liked the live version better. But, as I said, compared to most of the rest of the album, U2's song is still pretty good.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

i listend to a live version on youtube, from where i cant remember but it was the vertigo tour obviously.

i do want to say after a couple of listens i really do like u2's version of instant karma. First time maybe not so much but a couple of listens and im digging it. I dont know about the rest of the album, like how can these people really do John Lennon justice? i suppose i cannot judge until i hear it proper. But bravo to u2 its well done, not overdone, just right.

 

[bonocomet]

They performed it in Portland Dec 2005 and I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was great.

glad you got to hear it and enjoy it, they probably wont do it again. Then again who knows they might?

U2's Instant Karma was boring and uninspired.

R.E.M.'s #9 Dream and Green Day's Working Class Hero were the highlights. Frankly, there's nothing else on the album aside from these three that I plan on listening to again.
