Edge's solo and Adam's bass playing is amazing in the sing too.
It's a great song, and I can relate to the lyrics about the struggle with a parent. "You can't even remember what I'm trying to forget," especially hits a nerve with me. It's the fights I have had with my father, and during many if them he was so shitfaced he wouldn't remember what happened. Or he likes to pretend nothing is wrong, but I'm hurting. And "you need someone to blame, throw a rock in the air you'll hit someone guilty." is so him. He blames everyone for his problems, without looking at himself.
Also, on a lighter note, I
That IS a great line, and a great song overall.
Prepare to keep spamming.
:sniff:
Gloria was just on.
At least I have hot young Bono to keep me company. He'll listen. Really!
Watching this, I realize how fucking lucky I was last tour to see so many older, unexpected songs play. I really ran into a run of varied setlists.
It was on my list of 5 songs I really wanted to hear. Ah well, 4 out of 5 isn't bad. 
I don't like ATYCLB at all. Beautiful Day and Elevation and Walk On are decent, but the rest I can take or leave. Mostly leave.I suck at picking favourites. I never can. I always say that my favourite is whatever I'm listening to at the time, and very often that's true. What I love about them is their diversity, and each album I listen to seems to compliment or evoke a different mood. The only thing I'm not overly fond of in their catalogue is most of the back end of ATYCLB. And even then I don't hate it, I'm just indifferent to it.
That gets you labelled a sheep around here in some forums, but whatever, that's how it is for me. I'm too old to care about labels.
So how's the ex revenge going?
They played Gloria on 12/5. I saw them 12/4.
You were indeed lucky.
), and Fast Cars(even though Bono completely mangled it. 
). I would have been happy to hear 1 or 2 of those songs. But hearing 4 was awesome. It was just my luck they play Gloria the bight AFTER I see them though. Still, it was my first show, and my one and only on the tour. It was amazing.
Yeah, Beautiful Day is like that for me. Not one of my favorites, but I enjoy it. And I fell in love with Streets after seeing the Elevation versions. To me, they're incredibly powerful.
" I started listening to ATYCLB again and then bought Achtung Baby and HTDAAB. And joined interference. The rest is history. Funnily, these are three of the four albums I have the biggest love-hate relationship with. The fourth is War.
I've never seen that! It played in Toronto for like 5 minutes when it came out (okay, maybe more like a few weeks, Drea would remember better than me), but it just wasn't convenient for me to go to a city nearly 2 hrs away to see a movie at that point. Since then it's been replayed in a ton of places, but never around here.The only concert I've seen is U23D. Seven times.
I knew of them but didn't really feel like a fan, even though I had ATYCLB, until The Saints Are Coming, which I only paid attention to cause of Green Day and the thought amongst their fans of "What the hell are they doing playing with those old farts?" I couldn't have picked Bono out of a line up. Then I heard it and went, "DUDE.
@ love/hate relationships. I'm that way with October.
It plays once a month at my local IMAX and it does quite well. I can barely see the 3D anymore, and I giggle most of the way through it cause, like any movie you've seen and seen and seen, you notice little things that crack you up.I've never seen that!

And...you have to see them live. Period. End of story.
