When U2 is on tour, they often snippet other artists' songs in their own. Perhaps as an intro, or a detour during the song, or as part of a coda.
The band, along with the other 30,000 people who brought Velvet Underground & Nico, have cited Lou Reed as an influence. They have, on numerous occasions, snippeted or covered Lou Reed or Velvet Underground songs.
Lou Reed passed away recently. When important figures pass away, Bono usually finds a way to pay tribute to them; for example, he sung a few bars of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's (who, yes, I have been out drinking with, not sure why you'd ask that, but I digress) Jungleland as a tribute to Clarence Clemons, a long-time member of the E Street Band.
So, I ask you EYKIW, how would the band have honoured Lou Reed if they were on tour right now? Cover? Snippet? Both?
Jovially mention Lulu?
Sweet Jane?
Perfect Day (snippet) / Bad / Walk on the Wild Side (snippet) / Waiting for My Man (snippet)?
We know it won't be Satellite of Love, because why would U2 play their own song as a tribute to Lou Reed?
Discuss.
