MERGED --> This Saints song... + The Saints are coming .. eww

[Aardvark747]

This Saints song...

It just sounds like Green Day feat. Bono. What are the other 3 doing? Is Edge on guitar and Adam on Bass? It sure as hell isnt Larry on drums...Can anyone confirm?

Lead guitar is Edge, Billie Joe supports.

I have no idea about bass but you can clearly hear two sets of drums. One going very fast and one pounding on top (don't which is which).

 

[MrPryck2U]

I do believe it's all the members of both groups.

 

[Clawgrabber]

lead guitar = edge
rhythm guitar (aka punk guitar) = billy joe
main punk style drums = tre cool
louder mallet style boom boom drums = larry
2 dueling basses= Mike Dirnt & Adam (they are playing different parts simultaneously)

All members of both bands are playing their respective instruments together.

That sounds right.

The sound is right, alright, it's a great song!

 

[Jack In The Box]

I actually like this song

I have to pay attetion to the bass lines

 

[Aardvark747]

Cheers guys!

 

[U2Man]

i'd like to hear it.

edit: just heard it. crap song

 

[bono_man2002]

Well I haven't heard the Studio version, but the live version was great!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

the Studio version is just as good.. You can hear it streaming on u2.com

 

[Carek1230]

AMY!

 

[GibsonGirl]

Thanks for the link.

As for the song...

"I don't like it."

 

[Canadiens1131]

Holy shit the studio version sucks.

Also I love how annoyingly subtle Billy Ho's voice is and then the Boner comes in howling like he's trying to reach God in every word.

That and there's way too much shit going on with the drums. Still Rubin did a good job keeping U2 from echo-ing it up too much.

 

[U2Man]

yeah, the live version was much better. still a weak song, though.

 

[pentax]

Why did they leave the guitar solo,as small as it is,out. Listen to the original version at around the 1:50 mark. YouTube have the Skids on Top Of The Pops.

 

[bsp77]

That and there's way too much shit going on with the drums.

That's the best part about the song. I think it's a cool song, but average in terms of U2. Which is alright, I enjoy average U2, that's why I'm a fan.

 

[Utoo]

Here's the cover for the single (according to u2.com, so put as much faith in it as you'd like! ) :

 

[U2girl]

I like the crisp sound of the studio version. I like the pirate-y "boom! cha! hey!"

 

[Lancemc]

I want to see Anton's Abbey Road photos of the two bands. The single cover posted above is still pretty cool though.

 

[vaz02]

I wish u2 produced artwork as good as that

 

[powerhour24]

It's amazing that I don't hate this song given my contempt for GD.

 

[rjhbonovox]

This Saints song......is fuc#ing awful!

 

[Canadiens1131]

I have listened to this song.
I have had a few beers.
I think I really like thi ssong actually.

Gogo gadget collaboration!

Here's the cover for the single (according to u2.com, so put as much faith in it as you'd like! ) :

bono has a big head

 

[Lancemc]

The more I look at that cover the freakier it becomes. Awwwesome.

 

[Sicy]

That's the best part about the song. I think it's a cool song, but average in terms of U2. Which is alright, I enjoy average U2, that's why I'm a fan.

I loveeeeeee the drums in this song.

 

[shart1780]

I actually like the song. I like guitar and drumb work is good, and I like Bono's singing in it. Not a fan of Greenday, but that's ok.
