Edge in new web doc - does Running to Stand Still live, solo

[Registered Dude]

Watch a Preview of Mario Batali's Feedback Kitchen with U2's The Edge - Eater

looking forward to this!

Agreed. It's not very often that we get to hear his voice alone! I wonder what happened to the track he was said to have a lead vocal on, that was part of the early listening parties before Epworth/Tedder?

 

[thavidesco]

Loved the part when he is talking about doing something challenging, maybe embarrassing, over the top, but potentionally great. It is what the last record is about. finally.

I think it might have been Song for Someone, considering his prominent backing vocals on the track - basically singing the song behind Bono's vocal. His backing vocals are lovely on that track. Wish he had sung it solo.

 

[jeevey]

I thought that too, of the songs we've actually heard. But that one was tentatively titled 'Morleigh's Song' and Bono says SfS is especially about his relationship with Ali. I'd love it if another song, or a SfS track with Edge's voice came out one day!

 

[BVS]

Morleighs song was an absolute rubbish troll rumour, it was proven by previous posts that this poster would make up song titles before other releases as well. Not a grain of truth to them...

I liked his version of Love is Blindness on From the Sky Down documentary.

This should be good.

Well... that's amazing.

 

[Mack_Again]

I found that Running to Stand Still session quite amazing.

 

[BVS]

I wouldn't mind one bit if they played it live like that, with Bono singing. I'd like to see them loop and layer more in front of us live.

 

[trainmaniac]

Fantastic...

Funny, even the edge dosn´t remember U2 lyrics

Otherwise, quite boring, too much echo on guitar, not enough layers and the performance shows while Edge is probably the best backing vocalist, he doesn´t have the charisma for being the leader vocalist

OMG I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MYSELF CRAZY ALL DAY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DOWNLOAD THIS FREAKING INTERVIEW! I didn't think to look at youtube for the song itself. THANK YOU!!

Amazing performance. Best of the album/tour promo performances by a mile.

I think it was filmed about a year ago.

Very nice version of Running To Stand Still, mainly because of the guitar. Edge doesn't have the greatest singing voice, to be honest, but the guitar loops are amazing.

Reminds me of the show they had about 10 years ago on the Making of Joshua Tree with Edge talking about the guitar parts, I always find this type of stuff interesting, something U2 should do more of when they put out a concert have some of these bonus features.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

still running, still running, I'm still running.......

he's been watching the R&H DVD lately....

love this ending, the first time in 27 years

[cobl04]

they did that ending on the Vertigo tour. it's great but it's when it's combined with Dirty Old Town that it works best.

 

[last unicorn]

I'm afraid this series isn't made for vegans like me

 

[cobl04]

also don't get the people saying that Edge's vocals are no good. he sounds way better than Bono does on pretty much every song on SoI

 

[djerdap]

He sounds great. Not technically perfect, as it is a live version, but the passion is there. One that Bono didn't have most of the time he performed that song in 2005.
