Rest of U2 Survivor: The Joshua Tree - Round 1

[Axver]

Maybe it's a Seattle thing.

Well, I did want to visit Seattle, but after this? I'm crossing it off my list.

 

[No spoken words]

Here you go corianderstem

Listening to MOTD now

And I'm with NSW on the One Tree Hill bandwagon. Love that song

I didn't mention the song, but, as it turns out, it ranks just below ASOH on my all-time list, so I aints going to be voting for it. EVAR.

 

[the tourist]

We need bright lights or sunshine, quick! If The Tourist and I don't get it, we'll probably vote for One Tree Hill next. We can't help it.

Don't even joke about such a thing!

Anyway, Mothers of the Disappear is the only song I skip on The Joshua Tree. I like it about 2% less than I like Trip Through Your Wires (which has kinda grown on me). However, One Tree Hill is in the top 3 at least of the choices!

 

[corianderstem]

It's such a contradiction. Perry Como said it himself, via song: The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle.

Just not in winter.

Thanks, Lila! I feel myself wanting to vote for the right songs now.

come to New York Ax,

New Yorkers hate Trip

 

[Rob33]

I will ban anybody who votes for One Tree Hill even though I'm not a mod. I have my ways. They involve nuclear warheads.

thanks for that...

 

[corianderstem]

xavi, is it just me, or did you have a different icon a few minutes ago?

 

[phillyfan26]

New Yorkers hate Trip

So do Philadelphians, although we won't even pretend that it's a good idea to vacation here.

 

[the tourist]

It's such a contradiction. Perry Como said it himself, via song: The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle.

Yeah, from July 5th to the middle of September the skies are generally blue.

 

[phillyfan26]

The eyes of his av have hypnotized you to fool you.

 

[LemonMelon]

New Yorkers hate Trip

What about the Jews and Hispanics, religious nuts, and political fanatics?

 

[U2democrat]

I love Bullet, live, but on the album...

 

[Lila64]

You did mention it, just in case you needed updating. That's why I commented on it. I OTH. It's now playing on my CD player.

Jara sang his song a weapon in the hands of one...

 

[No spoken words]

When did I comment on it? Am I this senile?

 

[xaviMF22]

xavi, is it just me, or did you have a different icon a few minutes ago?

see ? people from Seattle are loco

 

[Lila64]

My bad, that was Axver. Please forgive me. I offer a TimTam as a peace offering. I really do have a package sitting in the kitchen too.

 

[Axver]

come to New York Ax,

New Yorkers hate Trip

New York sounds too big. Far too big. And Bono sings about it too frequently.

I think I'll stick with Melbourne.

 

[No spoken words]

I'll take the Tim Tam. Can you eat one and not think of a set list party?

 

[Axver]

My bad, that was Axver. Please forgive me. I offer a TimTam as a peace offering. I really do have a package sitting in the kitchen too.

I'll loan you one of my pairs of glasses in return.

Tim Tams for the win. How about that? The winner of Rest Of U2 Survivor: Tim Tams!

 

[Axver]

I'll take the Tim Tam. Can you eat one and not think of a set list party?

Can it be 2009 and tour time again? I miss the setlist parties.

 

[Lila64]

No

 

[No spoken words]

They were fun, especially early on.

 

[Axver]

They were fun, especially early on.

It was funny how each leg's parties had its own unique character. Only a small amount of us were constant throughout the entire time - I think at least 10,000 of my posts come from the parties!

Personally, my favourite leg was Europe, though my fondest memory is the Auckland vs Wellington "arguments" timothius and I had on the third leg. And your parodies, NSW. I think I actually saved a couple of them ...

 

[corianderstem]

see ? people from Seattle are loco

DUDE. Stop messing with me!

I love One Tree Hill, but it so completely bugs me when Bono sings the line "I don't believe in painted roses" because the way he pronounces painted? It sounds like "FANCY." Or "PANCY."

That's not just me, right? The first time I saw the actual lyrics, I didn't believe it was "painted roses" because he sings it nothing like "painted."

It seriously makes me

 

[LemonMelon]

The 10/17/05 Philly setlist party was a favorite of mine. Everyone went nuts when they heard that Bruce Springsteen was joining the band on stage.

 

[phanan]

Wow. Mothers Of The Disappeared is one of my favorite songs off of this album. It certainly can't be the first to go. It's such a gorgeous track with haunting lyrics. And the remaster just makes it that much more droolworthy.

Trip Through Your Wires. I mean, easily.

And One Tree Hill most definitely should win this.

 

[corianderstem]

The winner of Rest Of U2 Survivor: Tim Tams!

I think we should invoke the mercy rule on the whole competition.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and that's my favourite part of the entire song!

The only part of the song where Bono's enunciation bugs me is "carved into stone on the face of Earth". I think it sounds more like he's singing "carved into stone on the face of it" - but that's not as good, so I keep typing what it's meant to be whenever I quote it.

I think I dropped out for one of the legs, but definitely posted a lot during the first leg. I remember being the "source" in Glendale and when they played "Bad" I was thinking "Man, they are probably going berserk right now in the set list party thread".

My parodies. Ha. I'm sure most were lame, looking back, but at the time they were funny. You know, in context and all.

Timothius! How is he????

 

[corianderstem]

YES! I hear "face of IT" as well. His enunciation is all over the place in that song, but I give him a pass because we all know it's because he's all emotional and shit in it.

But seriously - go listen to the part with "painted roses" and tell me you hear P-A-I-N-T-E-D.
