U2 perform GOYB at the Grammys Discussion Part II

[nurse chrissi]

ahh, the Dimond

cheesetastic

 

[The John Tree]

And I'm sorry, but this Grammy show is so "old white folk" oriented, that it even makes me, a young white guy, uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Rick Wright

Want to see a fucking good ass kicking performance?

YouTube - U2 - God Part II (Australia 1989)

Sorry, off topic... but good as hell!

 

[sammer]

Sorry if this was already asked....but did he really say "Thank you Walter.....Can we get Whitney Houston on the show?" as he walked off?

 

[OrARoundabout]

BB!

Still awesome

1989? Is that right?

Yeah. Who is Walter?

 

[The John Tree]

God I can't stand John Mayer.

But I did see BB King, Lil Richard, and Al Green in Baltimore two summers ago. And BB is still indeed the King.

He performed When Love Comes to Town, too!

 

[VintagePunk]

Roger Waters

I think you mean Rick Wright, Roger is still alive and well.

 

[bonoz]

OMG^ what a performance. Probably one of the U2's best.

 

[phillyfan26]

Well, U2 kicked ass. Aside from poor sound mixing (not their fault) and Bono being out of breath the entire time (what the fuck?), they kicked ass. Major ass. Bono looked like he was living out ZooTV in 2009. I can't see anyone not digging that.

Isaac Hayes

RIP

 

[VintagePunk]

This is Interference. U2 bitching is pretty much the norm, sadly.

Which is why I tend to stay out of EYKIW for months at a time...

 

[bonoz]

Thanks I know. I always mess up the names because they have the same initials.

WTF was that???

Uh...he was introducing Whitney Houston as casually as possible. That's WTF that was.

But who is Walter?

 

[Chill Mike D]

But who is Walter?

 

[sulawesigirl4]

BB King was excellent! Showin' John Mayer how it's done. Sorry kiddo, you're not quite there yet. lol.

 

[phillyfan26]

Who the fuck cares who Walter is? The Walter is not the issue, Dude.

 

[Drowningman]

After watching tonight's performance a few times over...

I think overall it was a solid performance by the boys.

And Bono's voice was just fine. it was strong and clear.

The only major mix up seems to have occured during the "let me inthe sound" bit and of course Edge's guitar sounding off.

But, we have to remember this is not U2's sound team here. These are grammy sound people who're just worried about gettingthe next act on.

I think on tour everything will sound just fine.

P.S. I didn't really enjoy the lyrics in the background. Made it look a little cheesy

most definitely......bono just needs to get his tour legs

 

[popacrobat]

Walter might be somebody who helped them open the Grammy's? Who knows.

 

[Rosebud]

God we care way too much about way too much sometimes.

 

[ramblin rose]

Relax. I thought it might be common knowledge. Tense are we?

 

[phillyfan26]

Aside from the lyrics, the graphics were really fucking cool. And I cannot say enough about the ZooTV throwback. I hope that shit continues, 'cause it's awesome.

 

[JOFO]

Walter is the issue of the night!!!

 

[phillyfan26]

As I recall, it was a horror film. I check the phone and saw you rang and I...

Relax. I thought it might be common knowledge. Tense are we?

I'm referencing a film.
