TheBrazilianFly
Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
I think most of the people will say yes but I’m saying no. The reason why I don’t think Bullet should go is because they don’t have any other song like it to put on their set list. They Fly, The Electric Co, Until The End Of The World, Love And Peace Or Else are all very rock n’ roll but still not in the same way as Bullet. Streets for example, while it just might be (or once was) the best live U2 song, it has that classic U2 sound, there are other songs in their repertoire with that same kind of sound, like Pride, Bad, Ultraviolet, Beautiful Day among others. Bullet The Blue Sky even after all this years, and all the albums they have made, remains unique and still quite an amazing moment during the show. No one is expecting that explosion of sound, that slide riff, that solo, that whole bass and drums groove, plus it’s a real dramatic and honest moment without being cheesy…. I think the show could suffer if they stopped playing it and didn’t find something to substitute it (which I think they would be able to as they always comeback with something new and different every tour). That said, even though I don’t want it to go I wouldn’t feel bad if they gave the song a rest, most of their standard songs are needing some time to give space for other songs and for us to breathe a little so they can comeback fresh again. What do you think?
