I Trip Through Your Wires Appreciation Thread

[asr]

My personal favorite off the 'Tree'.

Anybody else feel the sme way?

 

[Hoodlem]

It's not my favorite off of TJT but it does get unjustly maligned around here. It's an awesome, awesome song. On most albums that would be a standout track. On The Joshua Tree, it gets drowned out by the amazingness that surrounds it. It deserves a little more respect.

 

[LemonMelon]

WAYYYYYYYYYY underrated.

Apparently, transcendent atmospherics are the only sound welcome on the Joshua Tree.

 

[U2DMfan]

WAYYYYYYYYYY underrated.

Totally

 

[Sicy]

This is one of my favorite songs!

 

[popacrobat]

good song, seems to get trashed around for no reason.

 

[Rob33]

this song fucking owns.....and for me, it fits perfectly in the sequence of tracks....If I'm listening to the whole album, it feels just right as the song after In God's Country....great song, great placement on the album...love the mood of it, the harmonica, the drums....it's great!

 

[maycocksean]

Count me in! One of my very first "favorite" U2 songs!

 

[Peterrrrr]

Don't mean to be rude, but one of their most boring song in my opinion.

 

[Moser]

It's better Live. 11-07-1987 I believe.....Great bootleg!

 

[An Cat Gav]

Great song, absolutely love it. Some of the b sides were just as good, if not better, but Trip just fits in perfectly!

 

[The Sad Punk]

It's unfairly bashed, but the original version is clearly superior.

 

[Cin]

I this song. It makes me want to jump around and sing until my voice goes all croaky

yeah,I do believe I agree with you on that,that is like the only song that isn`t that cool,but I`ll still listen to it.

 

[gman]

I love this song! I agree that it only sounds somewhat ordinary cos of all the brilliance surrounding it on JT.

 

[scottyT]

i appreciate it. certainly not their best work or my favorite song, but it is very unique to the catalog. it's got a great title.

Awesome.


I agree---this song gets bashed too much here. It's not my favorite from JT...hard to be with so many gems. But I always enjoy it when it's on.

9/22/1987, anyone?

 

[Popmartijn]

An outstanding little ditty.
Me likey!

U2's most boring is still better than most people's best.

 

[Val]

I go right to it when I play the Paris DVD.

 

[The Sad Punk]

U2's most boring is still better than most people's best.

Bloody hell.

 

[Moser]

Bloody hell.

That's where daddy's going.

On serious thought: I don't think "Love Rescue Me" beats the majority of other artist's best. But I see where the thought comes from.

 

[65980]

Yes, I absolutely adore this song (note that there is actually no "I" in the title). On most of the JT-tour concerts, they played this tune 4th off the top, and it really worked -- just a joyous, uplifting song.

One of the things I love about "Trip Through Your Wires" is that it is so unlike standard U2 of the mid-80s. It's really FUNKY, which U2, in general, are not. That bass-line is so simple and so brilliant. It just grabs you and swings you back and forth. I love it!

 

[Val]

.... It just grabs you and swings you back and forth. I love it!

I love that description!

 

[JCOSTER]

I just love the Bono sounds in this song!
