Rest of U2 Survivor: The Joshua Tree - Round 3

[phillyfan26]

Don't worry, Larry hasn't let that stop him once in the last 32 years.

Hey!

October was in 1981.

That's 27 years.

 

[Axver]

Hey!

October was in 1981.

That's 27 years.

Touche.

Spanish Eyes is fucken great

QFT. I think that's all that needs to be said on that topic. And that's the end of that chapter ...

 

[martha]

Red Hill etc.

 

[the tourist]

Red Hill Mining Town.

 

[the tourist]

Oh, and as for the Spanish Eyes haters, you're on more crack than I am (a Mothers of the Disappeared disliker).

 

[bonocomet]

I love Spanish Eyes. Sexy song.

 

[Mauwer]

Voted Bullet , coz the other songs are way better ( studio wise )

Cheers ,

Mauwer

"Exit" should leave the building.

How can anyone say that the album version of "Bullet" sucks???.Everyone on the band shine on the song.From Adam's bass,right through Bonos lyrics..and of course,most of all Edge solo.

Maybe some of you have listened too much of Sepultura's version

 

[Screwtape2]

One Tree Hill.

 

[U2lunatic]

In God's Country

 

[corianderstem]

Wow, there's nothing without a vote up there. This is going to get interesting.

And by "interesting," I mean "very ugly."

 

[pat132]

Bullet

 

[Aardvark747]

Red Hill...

 

[Lila64]

I love Spanish Eyes. Sexy song.

 

[the tourist]

What an album! What a round!

 

[coolian2]

What a night! What a show!

 

[xaviMF22]

Red Hill

and then One tree hill

 

[Rosebud]

Bullet, don't you dare leave us!

I voted Exit this time 'round.

 

[bonocomet]

I know, how can Bullet be going before Exit?

 

[the tourist]

How can people not absolutely love Exit?

 

[bonocomet]

Well that's the thing about the Joshua Tree. I do love Exit

There's nothing NOT to love on this album, and yes even Trip thru Your Wires.

It's just that Bullet is a much better song than Exit.

 

[the tourist]

But Exit is better than Red Hill Mining Town and In God's Country, though! It's not Exit's time yet to... well... exit.

The studio version is not realised in the way the live version is. The studio Bullet's vocal delivery lacks strength in crucial places. Edge's guitar sound spot-on, but he does not use it to its fullest and the solos feel incomplete. Larry's drums do not sound sufficiently thunderous.

Exit, however, is an almost flawlessly executed brooding beast of doom.

Hmm no, I don't think so. But it is unfortunate that any of these songs need to ...Exit.

ooOooh I like that description.

 

[Lila64]

so will this eventually come down to RTST vs. OTH?

What will we do? What WILL we do? What will we DO?

 

[bonocomet]

We will vote off RTSS

 

[Axver]

We will vote off RTSS.
