"Hard rock" U2 songs

[UnforgettableLemon]

Which songs do you think would appeal most to hard rock fans? I'm gonna send some of my friends who are all into Metallica, but think U2 is "gay pop sh*t" CDs for Christmas.
Right now I've got.

God Part II (live)
Sunday Bloody Sunday (live)
The Fly (probably live)
Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me (popmart mexico)
Bullet the Blue Sky (Zoo TV or Elevation)
Exit (live, notice a pattern?)
Like a Song
Discotheque(probably live)
Last Night on Earth
Elevation (Irving Plaza)
New York (live)
Gone (Boston)

Any ammendments?

Definely Out of Control. God, I love that song. I would say New Year's Day, and Until the End of World are good choices as well...

 

[Gina Marie]

Helter Skelter?

 

[adam's_mistress]

Because I'm far too lazy to write down a bunch of songs, I'll just say "War."

Most metal heads I know actually like War, or at least respect it. If that record isn't hard hitting in-your-face raw passionate power, I don't know what is. Even on low volume, it goes to 11.

Ivan -

do you know of any site I can get a great live version of "Miami" ? I only have it for the Las Vegas show.

Maybe you could add their cover of Won?t get Fooled Again, from Irving Plaza, does that one count? hmmm, maybe not

Also Hawkmoon 269 and All Along the Watchtower (from R & H), Zoo Station and Desire (from Zoo Europa bootleg)

"To me a rock and roll concert is 3-D, it?s a physical thing - it?s rhythm for the body. It?s a mental thing in that it should be intellectually challenging. But it?s also a spiritual thing, because it?s a community, it?s people agreeing on something, even if it?s only for an hour and a half." (Bono, as quoted in the book U2 The Road to Pop)

What's the best live version of Out of Control to use? The studio is good, but the energy is always amazing live. I know I'm NOT gonna use Cork's Opera House, funny as it is.

How about Electric Co. (live), Rejoice and Two Hearts?

I always thought New Year's Day was hard rock, for them! Other 'hard' songs (for them) are BTBS, Gone, Elevation, and what about When Love Comes to Town? That's bluesy rock like the Stones or Led Zeppelin. I must say that Discotheque is the most anti-rock song they ever did IMO and most rock fans I know laughed their asses off at it. BTBS may be the hardest thing they have ever done. I Will Follow rocked hard on the Boston DVD concert. (Not that I have one of course *sniff* but I heard it on VH-1 and the free promo CD.) I never thought of it or Gone as hard rock songs until I heard them on the Elevation tour, now they kick ass! Oh, I also want to add EBBTRT, UTEOTW and Zoo Station!

I don't think so. I think the guitar riff in the song kicks so much raw arse, live anyway, it's F*&%^ sick!

I Threw a Brick Through a Window

 

[Thermopylae]

Mothers of the Disappeared

 

[Thermopylae]

just kidding

 

[Nate Dogg]

[tiny dancer]

Most definitely Bullet The Blue Sky.

 

[Angel]

Until The End Of The World

My choice would be the Notre Dame boot. That song kicks some major rock'n'roll ass live.

Definitely the version of 'Bullet The Blue Sky' from Zooeuropa (Dublin, '93). Amazing, amazing version, and very hard rocking. The best version of HMTMKM I've heard is from the Shalome Popmart.

Oh, almost forgot, the live version of 'Acrobat' is pretty incredible, too. (hehe)

The Tempest

 

[ericb]

Silver And Gold

 

[u2head]

Maggie's Farm -- that live version off of that Live for Ireland CD.

Or Dirty Day.

 

[DrTeeth]

Metallica ain't hard-rock anymore

Doesn't matter how much ass it kicks, you're never gonna win over a metal head with a song called "Discotheque"

[Klodomir]

Huh. Metallica - The Make-up Years.

I would put BTBS either first or last for effect - they'll love that one. The Fly and Elevation are good too.

[ishkash]

I think hard rock fans will enjoy Where the Streets Have No Name.

 

[no disk]

"lwash" is a rockin' song.
