How can you not like the Zooropa album with that nick and avatar

MacPhisto rules

I don't like the album because it annoys me: it has fantastic songs like Zooropa, Stay, The First Time, even Some days are better than others but I almost hate the rest... okay, Lemon is cool and funny but I still don't like it. EVEN WITH THIS NICK

Zooropa...it's cold outside, but brightly lit



skip the subway (..) let's go to the overground

 

[God Part III]

Best song they ever wrote?

I'll give that to Until The End Of The World, but damn it's close.

A bluer kind of white... it could be yours tonight...

And I have no compass... and I have no map... and I have no reasons, no reasons to get back...

And I have no religion... and I don't know what's what... and I don't know the limits, the limits of what we've got!

DON'T WORRY BABY!
IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT!



It doesn't get better than this.

Don't expect - suggest.

Dirty Day rox man.

I always get the first "from father to son" to "fly forever too soon."

A much better line, but the lyrics don't agree with me! It sounds like Bono says so!

 

[bonojr62]

Definatly one of U2's best works hands down.

 

[2Hearts]

Oh man, I want to say every lyric in this song is my favorite, but I'll pick a couple of lines:

"Get your head out of the mud, baby
Put flowers in the mud, baby"

"It's cold outside, but brightly lit"

Awesome, awesome song. It sits at #8 on my all-time list.

 

[Ladera Heights]

U2 really needs to get back to challenging music like the Zooropa album. What a work of art...

 

[starvinmarvin]

It may not be u2'S BEST ALBUM, BUT IT'S HANDS-DOWN THE MOST INTERESTING THING THEY'VE EVR DONE.

 

[starvinmarvin]

Sorry 'bout the caps, but I'm pretty stoned right now so I must've hit the CAPS LOCK key.

Gotta hate IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS...SHIT...THERE I GO AGAIN.....

Puff puff pass the blunt

 

[Ladera Heights]

Seriously now, I need to listen to Zooropa high. I bet it would do a Dark Side of the Moon number on the noodle.

You're funny - I like your sense of humor.

You just gave me an idea!

Let me know if you see pink elephants or giant green Smurfs during that squiggly noise at the end of Zooropa.

Yes! Brilliant! I highly (no pun intended) recommend listening to Zooropa while stoned!

 

[starvinmarvin]

I'm quite certain drugs were invloved in the making of Zooropa.

 

[flaxjm]

question: when did they ever play this song live? how was it? noticeably not-so-great ---- or just tough to pull off live for the band?

i would be SO curious to hear them attempt this live. does anyone have a copy of a show with zooropa on it from that tour? i would be in their debt! my email: jonathan flax at comcast dot net

thanks!

 

[gareth brown]

I think it was during the Wembley shows, couldn't say though. :S

 

[xtihn]

Yes, this is a great song. I wrote a 9 page paper on this album and got an A on it. My professor loved it.

what class was it for? i wouldn't mind taking a class where i had to write about u2.

 

[Ladera Heights]

I'm quite certain drugs were invloved in the making of Zooropa.

I wonder which drugs? Weeeeeeeeed, perhaps? That explains Bono's voice as of late.

 

[Ladera Heights]

I think it was during the Wembley shows, couldn't say though. :S

It was played twice at 2 of the 4 Wembley shows. Shame they canned it. Maybe it was a buzz kill, but I couldn't say because I wasn't there. Anyone witness this masterpiece live?

I've heard the recording and it was a truncated version, starting from Zooropa II, where it starts with "And I have no compass". I did sound awkward.

Well...stoned again and listening Zooropa. I highly recommend it.

 

[I'm Ready]

This song rocks

You cant beat
"Be a Winner
Eat to get Slimmer"

Absolutely, listened to the whole thing last night, apart from babyface that is. (just doesn't do it for me, I prefer the siren at the end of the album)

 

[sue4u2]

I love this song/album. Especially late at night when mellowed out and just enjoying the music because it makes you feel good.
Stellar lyrics and something different at the end. What more could your want.
On my top 5 list of the finest accomplishments in U2's long history!
