Why no Stand Up Comedy?

I'm kindof reallly hoping that they'll play more Boy-War stuff before SUC, to be honest.

They have to play them a la Red Rocks though, especially in terms of tempo.

Enough of SUC already! Many other better songs they can play

TRUE! but! SUC has NEVER been played!

 

[schnumi]

Im also in the group that believes that SUC would be a killer live, especially if bono does some guitarwork as well.

I have always liked the album version and i would be very happy if they went to play this rocker live.

SUC frustrates me and I blame the Edge. He stuck with a pretty conventional sound when it needed some crazy guitar treatments to jazz it up a bit. Funk played HTDAAB-style leaves me rather cold. So if they play SUC live, I want them to do something different with it.

Guys, it's so obvious -- they are trying to stay away from playing songs that suc.

 

[smitefull1]

i'm hoping they want a fresh rocker to goto for next summer, though there might be too many layers and it might sound naked live, who knows

Put me in the "no thanks" camp

Ya Never know. Bruce is on his 3rd (and final) leg and FINALLY debuted What Love Can Do from Working on a Dream....

I love that song, it's so "sprightly" if you see what I mean.

+1 He should play it on that crazy guitar used for LAPOE.

 

[stagman]

The setlist is in dire need of some SUC, also a wild version of EBTTRT like from Elevation tour would be sweet too.

Nah, I doubt the Variax 700 is suitable for this. I'd love to hear it on the Rickenbacker though, the 12 string sounds like it would be cool. Knowing Edge it'll be likely played on the Epiphone Casino or something similar.

Its weird, since the album came out, the song has been completely blanked from the Band and Press, yes its not a single which i truly thought it should of been, but its as if the band think of the song as one to forget. I mean its not as if its a difficult song to play live(Like Fez), its a typical u2 rocker. Although if i had a choice, i would pick something like The Fly, Gone or Electric Co. any day.

 

[Galeongirl]

By the way, it's strange that there is a t-shirt of the song. I wonder if they planned on playing it but it didn't work out somehow?

 

[Jdelbove]

suc is horrible thats the answer

Yes that would be the only answer to it not being played, it just didnt work. I mean its not like u2 to try songs live of the album, even behind close doors.

This.

 

[edgeplaytheblue]

i read the tourbook and they say the whole album can be played live : why don't they do it then? It would be amazing to hear white as snow in stead of boring stuck in a moment.
