Rest of U2 Survivor: Rattle and Hum - Round 4

[Axver]

I can't vote.

Who's losing at the moment?

Like a rhythm out-voted, like votes in the night, like seven votes ahead ...

Heartland is just an amazing song.

No. We have a number of non-album sections, and Fast Cars is in one of them.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Okay doggies, I voted for Heartland then.

'Cause I don't want no pushover occurring, I like these about the same.

I should have told you that Heartland was being slaughtered and that you should create 10 alters to vote for Hawkmoon.

 

[Aardvark747]

Piss easy. Hawkmoon.

Pssh, don't worry. Hawkmoon's gonna lose anyway.

It's gonna be pretty hard for you during Achtung Baby, if you're around. Which songs do you hate the least?

Acrobat is actually about my 8th favourite U2 song of all time. I consider all three of The Fly, Acrobat, and Love Is Blindness to be classics.

Rest assured, I will be voting for Ultra Violet from round one.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Ah, okay. I can understand your opinion on Ultraviolet, I suppose. I used to think it was the most awesome thing ever, but these days the studio version drags on for me. But the live versions are insane.

It's okay though, because all that matters is that you hate One.

 

[Axver]

I agree that the song drags - it really goes on for about a minute longer than it should. The fact that it's dragged out by the worst U2 lyrics ever, even worse than my mammy and kneeling souls, just makes it all that much more agonising.

You know, I will miss having the pleasure of voting for One. But I won't miss the pain of seeing almost nobody else join me.

 

[Varitek]

Why do so many people think Hawkmoon is better than Heartland? They are

I join you Axver , not a big fan of One though I do love the Popmart/Mexico City One , and the bar vid for obvious reasons .

 

[ZOOTVTOURist]

Voted obviously for Hawkmoon 269 – because I still wish a full band version of this tune might reappear in future setlists. As the electric full band glory for the likes of God Part II and Desire.
Heartland has not a setlist chance at all – U2 never tried a full band arrangement in front of audiences, and I fear that's a kind of R.I.P. for the tune ...

 

[The Sad Punk]

I would get more emotionally involved watching the bar vid on mute while listening to Yakety Sax, rather than to watch the actual thing.

In fact, that sounds like a pretty good idea!

 

[CTU2fan]

How on earth is Heartland a WOWY out-take? They're musically and lyrically completely different.

Getting Heartland and AIWIY or One mixed up, perhaps?

Take WoWY, speed up the bassline, have Edge slow it down a bit, cue Bono mumbling...voila, Heartland

I actually love Heartland, just now quite as much as Hawkmoon.

[Screwtape2]

Hawkmoon 269.

 

[U2democrat]

I used to think Heartland was too boring, but in the last year I listen to it and think "Wow...this is an AMAZING song."

Hawkmoon is awesome too, but Heartland is at a different level.

I join you too, I hate One and I'm a not a fan of Achtung Baby for being honest

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Could it be true? Has Axver found a kindred spirit?

 

[gareth brown]

Oh my god. Who voted off God Part II?! That was so not cool

 

[Axver]

There's a few of us. We have a secret underground club where we smash copies of Achtung Baby in an ancient pagan ritual dating back to classical Greece.

We also have lots of chocolate.

Philistine.

 

[Axver]

Philistine.

Talking about yourself, eh?

 

[corianderstem]

I never talk about myself.

I remain an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a vest.

Achtung Baby is lower on my album ranking too. Though I do like Ultraviolet, I really dislike One (even more so due to the hype and godliness surrounding it).

 

[phanan]

Well, no surprise here. I'm glad Hawkmoon was able to stick around until the end, although I would've preferred a Hawkmoon-God Part II finale.

 

[LemonMelon]

Well, no surprise here. I'm glad Hawkmoon was able to stick around until the end

It's still my favorite of the album.

Oh, well. AB is next.

 

[Simon_DK]

Off with Hawkmoon. Great track though Heartland is better
