Love Rescue Moi

 

[the tourist]

Love Rescue Me actually makes me cringe.

\

Me too.

 

[Axver]

Axver, name for me a good LIVE version of Hawkmoon...a date or two, please. For my collection.

ALL of them (there's only eight!). 1989-11-18, Sydney is soundboard and very, very good.

 

[No spoken words]

Gracias. I shall now seek it out.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Because you're going blind!

you're right! this is me: but without the smile. i kinda look like roy orbison, but not as cool. or as talented.

oh and sad punk, *punches your tits off*

there.

 

[2861U2]

And, as expected, I'm the only one to vote for Heartland so far.

EYKIW's polls judge you wrong.

FYM's prevailing opinions judge you wrong.

Australia's road rules judge you - or at least your avatar - wrong.

Spotting a pattern yet?

Just as long as you don't buy Bono's glasses, all will be well.

Cut it out!

Yeah.

I have a lot of persuading to do.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Wow, only five tracks to vote on? Weird.

Love Rescue Me.

 

[LemonMelon]

Love Rescue Me. Really good song, but not QUITE up to Van Diemen's Land level.

PS: the studio songs on this album rock.

 

[Aardvark747]

VDL

I rate Love Rescue Me..

 

[the tourist]

the studio songs on this album rock.

Yes. They really do. Makes me wish they'd put out a different type of double album (12 studio songs on one disc and 10 or so live songs on another disc).

 

[coolian2]

I've always said that without the live stuff Rattle and Hum is still a great album

 

[An Cat Gav]

Love Rescue Me. The only crap song here.

My rankings:

1. Heartland
2. God Part II
3. Van Diemen's Land
4. Hawkmoon 269
50,000. Love Rescue Me (though some lyrics in it aren't bad)

If the studio version of Hawkmoon were more like the live version, it would be third and possibly even tied for second.

If the studio version of Hawkmoon were like the live version it would be permanently in my top ten u2 songs of all time!
Good new avatar Axver, but the old NZ one was unbeatable. You gotta bring it back!!

Yeah, live Hawkmoon was so good that the same would probably be true for me. Definitely top 20.

And - a number of people remarked when I had the U2 NZ avatar that they missed the Red Rocks Edge one. Now the U2 NZ one is missed! Maybe I need a Red Rocks NZ one ...? New Zealand playing an Explorer?

I thought the Edge at Red Rocks avatar was familiar from the old days before I fell off the face of the earth. A lot of time goes by when you're in a band, record an album, open for one of the bigger bands in your town, and then everything falls to pieces right before it blows up (because your singer is on cocaine, though no one else in the band knows it).

 

[Mauwer]

Easy choice.....Love Rescue Me.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

p.s. I totally agree that Hawkmoon live is miles and miles better than the studio version.
I`ll have a tough time voting for it coz it`s the first U2 song I`ve seen live in concert ( Amsterdam `89 )

 

[cobl04]

Van Diemen's Land. Edge's vocals grate like nails on a chalkboard.

Wow, so that's what happened. I was wondering where you got to, and it's nice to have you back and posting regularly.

I wouldn't mind hearing that album, too.

Quoted for falsity.

Sometimes, I honestly think Edge has a better voice than Bono.

 

[Vlaco]

Van Diemen's Land, then Love Rescue Me.

 

[martha]

Love Rescue Me

 

[U2lunatic]

LRM, easily...

 

[2861U2]

I wake up, and there's still only one vote for Heartland. Can't say I'm surprised.

Thanks. And I'll upload it back onto my computer soon and send it your way, though it's probably not up your alley!


And cori, is this enough of a landslide to constitute a mercy killing? (Ha, Mercy.)

 

[RavenBlue]

Hawkmoon

 

[corianderstem]

Oh yeah. I'll be killing this sucker when I get home.

Killing with mercy, naturally.

 

[the tourist]

Good. Because Love Rescue Me is dead dead dead....

 

[Moser]

Have you almost fallen asleep listening to Love Rescue Me?
