Don't turn around ......

 

[Varitek]

Speaking of recording things badly, what do people think of their sorta-maybe plan to redo and re-record a more finished Pop?

It might be cool but I'd rather they spend time producing new stuff.

 

[pepokiss]

recorded badly?


the best in the album (behind Acrobat)

Queueing for GA at Dublin 1 I got to hear a full band soundcheck of "Wild Horses" and had a feeling what was coming...a very cool night, that was

 

[Pop Artist]

This stream is sounding great now...

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I used to really love this song. Now, it's just okay. It does have my favorite lyric: "the doors you open, I just can't close"

 

[catlhere]

what's the big deal about Wild Horses?
Not one of my faves, just wondering...

I feel the same about Acrobat. No joke. -runs-

 

[Axver]

I heard somewhere that Wild Horses is very disliked by the band.

They think the Achtung version doesn't achieve the song's potential.

 

[u2wedge]

I heard somewhere that Wild Horses is very disliked by the band.

On the 9/21 Chicago boot, Bono says right before WGRYWH, "We're going to play a song we haven't played very much. I'm not sure why. It's quite simple, really."

I thought that it was interesting that 'simplicity' was a critieria for playing a song... maybe that's why there are so many lyrics taped all over the stage this tour.

This stream is sounding great now...

It is.

Acrobat has really grown on me in the past 6/7 months.

 

[LMP]

I like the Temple Bar Mix more

am I in the minority?

 

[Varitek]

God I need to hear that song live.

 

[LemonMelon]

recorded badly?

I actually saw that in an interview once; they think they ruined the song.

It is indeed an excellent song live though, that's why they play it; they can improve on it.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

No Fast Cars...


Maybe after ABOY!

 

[CTU2fan]

Love that...

"Come on now love, don't you LOOK BACK"

I used to really love this song. Now, it's just okay. It does have my favorite lyric: "the doors you open, I just can't close"

when I was younger it was my favorite song off the album


WOWY - no first time?

 

[angelordevil]

This night reminds me of Toronto 1, when I stood outside the arena by a door to see what I could hear.

WGRYWH has some of my favorite U2 lyrics, as well:

"well you stole it, cause i needed the cash
and you killed it, cause i wanted revenge
well you lied to me, cause i asked you to...
baby, can we still be friends"

 

[sue4u2]

what's the big deal about Wild Horses?
Not one of my faves, just wondering...

It's just loved deeply by those who love it. (like me)
The same with any (all)of their songs loved deeply by someone else.
You know how it is

[rafmed]

I like more the temple bar versions

 

[Blue Room]

I feel the same about Acrobat. No joke. -runs-

Your not alone there. One of my least favorite on Achtung Baby actually. I think it gets alot of hype because they never played it in concert. Its not a bad song, but its one I sometimes skip when I listen to that album.

Regarding Wild Horses. If the band didnt like the song, they certainly wouldnt be breaking it out live for this tour. I think what was said is they were not happy with the recorded version that ended up on AB and that the single version that was released was more of what they had in mind with the song.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Fast Cars... I love Fast Cars.
