Siamycaoi

[Jeffo17]

I really am not a big fan of Stuck in a Moment.. I don't mind it but.

I do think its doing this song in Acoustic is good for the song Live.

I think i would rather hear it played acoustic.

I really like the acoustic version that appeared on one of the ATYCLB singles.

 

[Zoots]

Acoustic is how this song should have been played on the album!

Btw, what's Siamycaoi? Stuck In A Moment You Can't....

I love this song in all of its forms, and I always have. It was quite something to hear acoustically, with Bono & Edge only a few feet away from me.

WTF!

Although I really like the acoustic version, I think the album version is a really great tune, probably the best on All That You Can't Leave Behind. It has a really good melody and an unusual but great sound. I think the full band version, such as the one live from the BBC with Jo Whiley in 2000 is the best live version. I wasn't a fan of starting it out acoustically and then bringing in the band. Doesn't really work for me.

Finally someone who likes the album version.
A long time it was my fave on ATYCLB. I really love the song, IMO the album version is better. I like both versions though.

album version blows, but the Vertigo tour version was pretty good

 

[discothequeLP]

the vertigo tour version was amazing

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

the acoustic version is how i picture the song being if rick rubin had produced it instead of brian eno.

Is that a good thing or not?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you deicde.

for me, yes. the acoustic version blows away the cheesey, over-produced album version.

it's a song about a conversation with someone who's about to kill themselves. it should be haunting, not a cheesey pop song.

I agree, the accoustic version is better IMO...

 

[Roland of Gilead]

The acoustic version cleans itself of that "boy band" feel found on the album take. Just how I see it.

 

[david]

the album version makes me feel like i am underwater

though I really don't mind the album version. and I love it live. Vertigo version is best, but Elevation was good too. It's really a beautiful song.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I loooove the sound of the acoustic version, but it's missing the ONE line I love love love (at least, the officially released acoustic version is): "I never thought you were a fool, but darling look at you"

If they had only included that line, I would probably never listen to the studio version again.

That said, I like to call the song "Stuck in a Song Title (You Can't Get Out Of)"

 

[MrBrau1]

"Stuck" is Boy Band?

Methinks some people need to hear more music.
ALOT more music.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

I agree that it's the choice in 'sonics'/arrangement/production that damages the song. The base tune/idea/whatever is more than fine. The acoustic version demonstrates that, although I don't think it should have been the album version.

I'll say it again as I say in every Stuck thread: There's a more gospel tinged version somewhere in the U2 archives featuring Mick Jagger among others on backing vocals - I'd trade my first born to hear this.

(There's that little "Wooh-ooh-ooh" bit that comes in just before Bono starts singing right at the start. I'm guessing that is a sample from this version?)

 

[U2girl]

The album version is fine. The live versions don't work.

 

[last unicorn]

I LOVE the song's accoustic version. I can live with the album version, too, but accoustic is

More Rattle & Hum-esque?

I remember reading this. Apparently(if I remember right) they changed the tempo and couldn't use their vocals anymore...

But this and Bono's version of Wanderer are songs I hope they release from the archives someday...
