When you heard "Vertigo" which Era did it remind you of?

[theu2fly]

I wanted to say Boy or War...

Bono said that the song could have been written in the 80s...

 

[LemonMelon]

It reminded me of nothing, actually. I was quite surprised by it.

 

[Nube Gris]

October era- 1981

 

[Aygo]

"Vertigo"... pre-Boy era, but without the great solos The Edge used to do at the time.

 

[U2girl]

Boy era U2, and the end with this part

"I can feel your love teaching me how
Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel…" reminds me of Gloria. Also a touch of UF era U2 on "all of this can be yours" and "I can't stand the beats..." verse, guitar-wise.

It remined me of...............................2000-01. I think its HTDAAB's answer to beautiful day. I dont go wi al the....... its our first album pish!!

 

[An Cat Gav]

Welcome back theu2fly!
I suppose it reminded me of the Boy era but with a bit of War thrown in. SOmething about it reminds me of Desire, a very "immediate" sounding single.

 

[JCOSTER]

Achtung Baby era.

 

[Bonochick]

It reminded me of nothing, actually. I was quite surprised by it.

Same...but if I had to pick one, I'd say Achtung Baby.

 

[Danny Boy]

I thought it sounded like punk rock on Venus.

 

[partygirl43]

Warrrrr....She's a Refugee! Her momma say one day she's gonna live in Americaaaaaa.

Def. War.

vertigo reminds me to go put on a real U2 song.
vertigo reminds me off yuppies trying to act "rock 'n' roll"
vertigo reminds me off "native son", a real u2 song.
vertigo reminds me off falling out a window.(yes i have done that, on purpose).

The start of a telephone conversation...

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Elevation. It doesn't carry the weight of earlier mentioned stuff above. It wreaks of Elevation though.

 

[bono_man2002]

Oh which era!, I'll learn to look and read properly one day!

It Reminded me of the Vertigo Tour era. It could have been written in the 80's...but it wasn't

 

[Zooropean103]

I Will Follow crossed with Discotheque and Elevation.

 

[socceroo]

Now - this latest era!
