2015 U2 Tour - General Discussion Thread VI :)

[cobl04]

they haven´t played songs from current era like Ordinary Love

Why the fuck would anyone want that?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'm pretty sure Invisible is a "song from this current era" so there goes that "fact".

Also, its LuciFer...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I don´t even try to mention Boy Fall rom The Sky or Rise Above

...the fuck?

Those are not U2 songs.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Nope.

And I'm sure they were complaining somewhere online about this 22 years ago.

Imagine what this place would have been like the night Adam missed a show?

I'm absolutely certain someone was complaining about all of this online 22 years ago. Probably even 28 years ago. Oh yes, the internet has a looooooooooooooong straw.

Yea, you're right

Where is the contradiction?

Fact1:
Last night they played only 6 from new album

Fact2: They haven´t played Volcano, Soldier, Sleep like a Baby so far on this tour
Troubles only 1 time

Fact3:
Moreover they haven´t played songs from current era like Ordinary Love or from second disc Ballroom and Lucipher.

I don´t even try to mention Boy Fall rom The Sky or Rise Above

Okay how can I explain this best..
You phrase your sentence like this:

Last night, again only 6 songs from the new record... No California, Troubles. No place for Soldier,Volcano, Lucipher, Ballroom or Ordinary Love so far on this tour.

This indicates that sentence 2 is following sentence 1, ie a direct conclusion. Added to this is that you continue mentioning album songs. So the gist of your sentences after the first is to add to it. This brings in a contradiction as you mention all the album songs that are omitted, plus three random songs that are not on the album. While you probably did not intend the implication they were on the album, you phrase it like you did. So if you had stated it like your fact3, it would have all made sense and there wouldn't be a contradiction.


And BFFTS and Rise Above are formally no U2 songs, even though BFFTS was played by them once live (it kicked ass yes), it's still a soundtrack song not formally by U2 since Larry and Adam didn't play on the album nor wrote it. So you can mention them all you want but there is no sane argument for the band to play a song that isn't theirs (Yes, I know, they've done a few covers or semi U2 songs(Passengers) in the past, but those were singles and released on U2 albums (Best offs or RnH).

 

[Salome]

I'm still pissed off they didn't play Korova 1 during ZOOTV
Sure, play New Year's Day again

 

[thavidesco]

Why the fuck would anyone want that?

because it´s their best pop song in ages?

 

[Hewson]

Reach Around mofo!

Soldier,

The song is not called Soldier, nor nicknamed by anyone Soldier.

 

[Hewson]

because it´s their best pop song in ages?

Far far from it.

 

[Pop Artist]

I'm absolutely certain someone was complaining about all of this online 22 years ago. Probably even 28 years ago. Oh yes, the internet has a looooooooooooooong straw.

I remember seeing an archive of Wire and/or the alt.music/fan.u2 usenet group somewhere awhile back that would have postings going back to the Zoo era, wish I could remember for which, and where that was.

 

[nitebusnitebus]

the ZooTV shows really came together in Australia. I wish they had gotten to tour the Dirty Day/Daddy's Gonna Pay/Lemon show for more than just 10 shows. Europe deserved that shit too. the Macphisto bit with Desire was kinda awkward. I never thought Bad/SBS into Bullet worked that well, but Dirty Day was absolutely perfect! and the Lemon -> WOWY is the best segue into that they've ever done.

though the Desire/Ultraviolet bit in America was too perfect, I stated in another thread that Desire/God Pt II/Ultraviolet would've been the greatest thing ever and we'd all be raving about it to this day.

The greatest Inteference prank ever would be to find out it was an alter created by Diemen.

I love RTSS. And it has not been played to death live.

I like AIWIY as well but Bono can't pull it off anymore, time to retire it.

No way...I was at the show
and it was fucking great. He wasn't in top form probably cause of this bunch of LA shows in a row.... but to say he can't pull it off anymore is ludicrous.

If I were U2, I'd do another sort of radio free promo show at Red Rocks on June 5th. The 32nd anniversary of their legendary show their, plus they'll already be in Denver for 2 shows at the Pepsi Center. I know Red Rocks is a bigger venue than The Roxy, but if they announced that they were playing Red Rocks, on the anniversary especially, it'd generate some significant goodwill in the media, and this time they'd sell out Red Rocks!

I know if this were to happen, I'd drop everything, buy a plane ticket and fly to Denver. If my boss has a problem, I'd tell him to fuck off. If my wife didn't like it, I'd work out some kind of bartering system where she gets something she wants.

The possibilities could be LEGENDARY!

Though I will say that the new arrangement if SBS just straight up doesn't work...everyone goes crazy when the intro riff comes in...you can feel everyone waiting for it to take off but it never does...kills all the energy in the room

Pfft. If it's so good, how come it didn't win the Oscar?

I'm actually surprised they haven't played it - I thought it had been rehearsed somewhere in all the Vancouver rehearsals.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Not for nothing but they could have written the second coming of One and they'd have lost to Let It Go. That song was a freight train headed for the station.

I want to know why they haven't covered Let It Go yet.

 

[corianderstem]

They should do Ordinary Love with a snippet of Let It Go. That would be hilarious.

 

[YBORCITY]

This.....

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

There are some posters in here who should let it go AMIRITE????

 

[thavidesco]

The song is not called Soldier, nor nicknamed by anyone Soldier.

The band mentioned at several occassions it is about being a soldier in a way the leader of Clash used to be with his attitude...

 

[thavidesco]

Far far from it.

Okay, I can accept mentioning Windows In The Skies in this corelation, but no one would believe it, cos it is generally hated over here.

 

[No spoken words]

Oh, I think at this point people would believe anything you say.

Agreeing is another story.
