"Waiting For The End Of The World" a U2 song???

[Reggie Thee Dog]

I bought the August issue of Guitar World magazine with the Edge as the cover story, and in the interview the magazine is speaking to the Edge about his guitar sound on "Acthung Baby" and he mentions he loves the guitar sound on "Waiting For The End Of The World"!!!

Anyone have a copy of that? I've never heard it........








What a dork!!

 

[MattFromNYC]

that song IS on Achtung Baby..........

 

[MattFromNYC]

oh it was a joke?

im lost now...

and kinda drunk.

 

[Axver]

Waiting For The End Of The World is good, but The Flea is better!

 

[shaun vox]

its"until the end of the world"

one of the last great rock songs u2 wrote!
the fly,hmtmkmkm,discotheque being the last one!

 

[Axver]

Discotheque?

 

[namkcuR]

Discotheque?

Yes, believe it or not, Discotheque is NOT a dance song or anything even close to it. It is a rock song and it is driven by that guitar riff.

 

[MattFromNYC]

yeah.... wtf???

the flea has the best guitar riff, man. bono was great as the flea cgaracter, too.

and ultraviolet (bite my way).

 

[Axver]

Yes, believe it or not, Discotheque is NOT a dance song or anything even close to it. It is a rock song and it is driven by that guitar riff.

Live, yes. Discotheque bloody rocked on the Popmart Tour.

Studio, no. I find the studio version to be a bit tacky and even cringeworthy. To label it as one of the "last great rock songs" by U2 when songs like Gone and Last Night On Earth are on Pop is incomprehensible to me.

 

[liamcool]

The video for Discotheque = The most rock video U2 has ever done.

 

[MattFromNYC]

Live, yes. Discotheque bloody rocked on the Popmart Tour.

Studio, no. I find the studio version to be a bit tacky and even cringeworthy. To label it as one of the "last great rock songs" by U2 when songs like Gone and Last Night On Earth are on Pop is incomprehensible to me.

And "Mofo"... another great rock song... great lyrics.. great sound. One of the best lyrically. IMHO.

 

[Mr. MIKEphisto]

I love the song "Two" from that album.

 

[MattFromNYC]

"Two" is great, too. Two loves, two bloods, two lives, ya gotta do what ya shouldze.

"Gymnastic" is another great song to end the album...

"dont let the gymnastics grind you down"...

 

[GibsonGirl]

Did The Edge mention anything about the Eurozoo album? I will be incredibly sad if he doesn't describe how he got his sound for Citrus Fruit.

 

[the soul waits]

Waiting For The End Of The World is good, but The Flea is better!

OMG ahahahhahaa

 

[MattFromNYC]

mysterious bays is grwat too.

even better than the veal strings... my fave dance song.

 

[TheFly84138]

Until the End of the World is about Judas betraying Jesus, which is the most interesting topic out of any U2 song probably.

 

[gareth brown]

mysterious bays is grwat too.

...

okay, I think the jokes peaked at Axver's "flea"...

 

[Axver]

mysterious bays is grwat too.

Mysterious Bays? My copy has Shamu The Mysterious Whale!

(I still say that whoever misheard MW as that wins the award for Funniest Misheard Lyric Ever.)

What a dork!!

Where do you have to live to get a September Guitar World in July? Everywhere I look I see Tom Morello's face on the cover of the August issue.

Pretty lame though for a guitar geek to get the song title wrong.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Yeah, you're right, it IS the September issue!! I live in Northern CA, so it should be out everywhere...I think.

They also have a picture with the caption "The Edge tunes up with Adam Clayton during the 1992 "Acthung Baby" Tour"...yeah, OK...

 

[Bono's shades]

Maybe the writer got Until the End of the World mixed up with Waiting For the End of the World by Elvis Costello. It's still a silly mistake, though.

 

[OnFire]

Hmm, wrong song title, AB tour? Can the tabs be trusted?

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

My friend who plays guitar used the tabs for "Vertigo" in Guitar World, and told me it was actually the tabs for "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees.....

Discotheque live is pretty fucking rock n' roll. . . just guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, and no crazy shit from Edge until the very end

Discotheque is more-or-less Alt Rock...maybe Alt-Art Rock. I don't think I'd call it Rock 'N Roll, well just not straight Rock...whatever that is.
