Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
The Police - Murder By Numbers
Tracy Chapman - anything

Tracy Chapman, eh? ...

Yeah...I could see that...wouldn't mind it...

Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus

That'd be cool. Yes.

I really, really want to hear them do "Pretty Woman" sometime.

My dad brought up one one time that I think would be interesting, too...Roxy Music's "Avalon".

The term "Cold day in hell" comes to mind.

Actually I think this tread would do better in Everything You Know is Wrong, for there have been many like this there in the past.

the buzzcocks - orgasm addict

with adam on vocals

 

[jick]

I'd like them to cover some G'n'R, Poison, and maybe some Bon Jovi.

Personal Jesus is also a good choice.

I think any song by Echo or Ian McCollough would be great too.

And Bono could try his hand singing a female song - Avril Lavigne's I'm With You or Things I'll Never Say might be cool.

Cheers,

J

Another one I thought of tonight...those who don't like the Dave Matthews Band won't like this choice...but I would love to hear U2 do "Crush" (my favorite song by DMB). Hearing Bono sing that song...whoa...

[Chizip]

nookie by limp bizkit

bono singing "i did it all for the nookie"...whoa...

 

[Bunbury]

Thunderkiss 65, LOL that would be awesome.

 

[shaun vox]

if BONO went, "do you know where the fuck you are, your in the jungle baby your gona dieeeeeeeeeee."(welcome to the jungle)
or november rain(bono does play piano) and edge could play all three parts of the solo.(one of the best solos ever) OH WAIT.

u2 did cover whole lotta love(led zeppelin) not a good cover whats up with the guitar
and paint it black(rolling stones) where are the guitars
both songs, strong points are the guitars.

u2 and covers dont go good together.
beat on the brat is good. but very easy to play. some power cords thats all .

the day they do that is the day when Adam does that freakin' Buzzcocks cover

 

[Blue Room]

Work It Out by the Beatles. Edge and Bono harmonizing on "Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting". I think it would outstanding.

All Of My Love, D'yer Maker or Tangerine by Led Zeppelin, I think Bono could handle the vocals pretty well and it would be interesting to hear him sing them.

Street Fightin Man or Undercover Of The Night by the Stones.

 

[RickFly]

These are studio versions and not one verse snipets before a u2 song.

What a Wondeful World - Louis Armstrong
I Walk the Line- Johny Cash

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

like a virgin... ahhhhhhhhh... touched for the very first time...

 

[Dr_Macphisto]

To hear U2 do some covers of any of the songs of that New Radicals CD would be awesome!... but, I am going to assume no one has ever even heard any of those songs so i'll stop there. Go buy it

 

[Convoy]

I would like the band to do a cover of the song "Because the night", I have a video of a Springsteen concert where Bono shows up and sings that song and it is simply amazing.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

All Of My Love, D'yer Maker or Tangerine by Led Zeppelin, I think Bono could handle the vocals pretty well and it would be interesting to hear him sing them.

*Eyes light up*

Oooh......

That would be very interesting.

And hearing them do "Street Fighting Man" in particular out of those two Stones songs and "We Can Work It Out" would be neat, too. Yeah. They could do a really good job on those songs.

I like RickFly's suggestions, too.

[FelipeVox]

Just by Radiohead...

 

[Sherry Darling]

Bono NEEDS to sing Springsteen's "She's the One" and "I'm on Fire" for me. Preferably during a duet with Bruce

[verte76]

All of these are interesting. It will be interesting to see which songs they "snippet" during the tour.

 

[flaming june]

Any of the slower Smashing Pumpkins songs, because I don't like Billy Corgan's voice on those but I think they were great. The Beatles' "In My Life", just coz I love that song and I'd love to hear Bono singing it.

 

[typhoon]

Work It Out by the Beatles. Edge and Bono harmonizing on "Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting". I think it would outstanding.

Wow, good one.

Also: more Johnny Cash!

 

[Strato Edge]

"The One I Love" R.E.M.

 

[pepokiss]

Hurt - Johnny Cash's version (picture this as "Can't Help Falling In Love" in ZOO TV, last song, just Bono and Edge, and after they finish, "The Wanderer" strikes out like Elvis's own CHFIL in ZOO TV or like Grace in the Elevation Tour)

Rockin In The Free World - Neil Young (the Bon Jovi version of this one is awesome)

The Rissing - Bruce Springsteen (imagine U2 opening in New Jersey with this)

Beth - Kiss (beautiful, maybe he could change it to ALI in some point)

Yellow or The Scientist or God Put A Smile Upon Your Face - Coldplay (that would be amazing)

Forever - Kiss (amazing)

Feel - Robbie Williams (imagine Bono with the peace sign up in the air)

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Hurt - Johnny Cash's version

Rockin In The Free World - Neil Young

Hmm...those could be good, too.

Ooh...that'd be nice, too...I could hear it. Yes.

[beegee]

little wing - jimi hendrix

 

[Nate Dogg]

A Kind Of Magic-Queen

.....an odd choice, but for some reason I always imagined U2 doing this song justice

 

[Jack In The Box]

Politik, Don't Panic (Coldplay)

Angie (Rolling Stones)

etc!

 

[Peter]

Depeche Mode - Never let me down again
Rolling Stones - Gimme Sheltler
Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash

 

[U2Kitten]

I don't think I want them to cover anything. One of the things I like best about them is their uniqueness, and honestly I don't think their covers have been good. Bono said once years ago the reason they developed as a band so well is because they had to find their own style because they weren't good at anyone else's songs

 

[Flarez]

Ooohhh Little Wing...that's a great song and I'm sure the band would do fine, but imo it's one of those untouchables, y'know? Some songs you just don't cover, like Imagine.

Now, I think it'd be quite...interesting... if U2 covered a bunch of Tool songs. I had a dream that they released a cover album of Lateralus I can just imagine Bono doing the 20-plus second shout on The Grudge...

Seriously, though. Some Velvet Underground covers would be nice...Pale Blue Eyes or Beginning to See the Light. Sound of Silence would make a nice cover too. I like the Gimme Shelter idea, Peter. I dunno about Coldplay covers...see, I love Coldplay, but it'd be kinda weird if U2 did em. I dunno. It'd be interesting if they did a "swap" - U2 covered a Coldplay song and Coldplay covered a U2 song...
