So Cruel, OTH, Zooropa...

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

Hypothetically speaking:

Paul McGuiness calls you up and says that the boys are getting rid of ____(insert song title here), and you, being their oh-so-biggest-fan get to choose the replacement. What'll it be? What song would you scratch, what would you add? (ONE ONLY!)

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

I kill WOWY...insert Zooropa (today. Yesterday it was OTH, the day before it was A Sort of Homecoming).

 

[MunkyMan]

I kill Desire ( Off the first leg )or New Years Day and add Throwing Your Arms Around The World or a cover of queen's Fat Bottomed Girls!!

mike in toronto
Go Leafs GO!!!

Well, the first part is easy. I'd get rid of "Pride".

The second part changes on a daily basis. Today I'd add a full-band (non-accoustic) version of "Desire".

 

[MunkyMan]

I almost forgot, DEFINATLY add Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill ME and Two Hearts Beat as One aswell as North and South of the River

 

[Sperber]

I?d kick SBS and add LNOE or MOFO or Ultraviolet.

Heh Heh Heh - nice on eSalome.

I would get rid of "What's goin on" even though it has only been played once.

I would insert One Tree Hill.

LOL! That would be hilarious.

Maybe you could get them to play it over the PA as the last song before they come onstage.

[Badyouken]

I would get rid of Stuck in a Moment and add Please...

I think before 9/11 I would have said scratch New York, but how things have changed!

I now say scratch Angel of Harlem (if they keep doing it) and add Running to Stand Still.

My all-time request to hear live before this tour was Bad, and obviously they've already fulfilled my dream on that score. Really now my biggest request would be Love is Blindness, but I could never ask for that on this tour because it wouldn't work in the setlist. Even though it can be interpreted as an effort to understand the mindset of a terrorist, where love = love of country or cause (think "squeeze the handle, blow out the candle, love is blindness"), they're trying to generally be optimistic on this tour, and I think LisB would just turn into this black hole that would suck all the joy out of the concert.

Still, I'd like to hear it some day. Edge's solo is blistering.
