I watched in its entirety Under a Blood Red Sky for the first time in my life (I have been a fan going on 17 years now.)
All I have to say is WTF!
-Edge takes lead vocals on Seconds
-Adam's hair
-Bono's femenine bouncing
-Bono's hair
-Bono's boots
-Larry's extraordinary playing (he has definitely not played like that since that was filmed)
What a crazy video.
-Give me the Edge singing anyday, and I'll take it.
-Adam's hair was actually tame on the War tour...just check out pictures of the band from 1976 to 1982. Plus it was rainy that day, and your bound to get serious frizzhead anyways.
-Bono was very theatrical back then, plus you have to remember that Bono grew up side by side with the Virgin Prunes, whose stage presence makes Bono's relatively calm in comparison.
-Bono was the 'King of Mullets' back then, and the way he wore his hats back then encouraged big, high hair when he took them off...plus after awhile the rain mellows it out, and he actually looks very cool in the video.
-I, for one, dig the boots, and wouldn't mind seeing Bono bringing them back...I think he wore them for added height, plus they just looked plain tough tucked in those tight leather trouser that woman still today lose all their senses over.
-Larry had already been playing like that 5 years up until that point, and it is because of a bad back that Larry no longer plays to that degree. He realized a long time ago that is he continued to play with that intensity that his career would have been over long ago...however, today he can lay down the funkiest beat, and beat into submission his drum skins with no mercy...just ask Bono's spine.
