The Edge's Least Rock Moments

[impy13]

October! One Step Closer! Grace! Running To Stand Still!

Don't get me wrong, I like all four of those songs (especially RTSS), but they aren't too rockin by the Edgicle

 

[AtomicBono]

Edgicle ...Edgicle

Peace on Earth, Love Rescue Me, Miss Sarejevo... good songs (well. Sort of. Mostly Miss Sarejevo), not too rock. Neither is One Minute Warning. Don't know quite what to call that.

 

[Irishteen]

Yep October has no rock, still rocks, as in is good, but not rock.

 

[the rockin edge]

I'm assuming you mean songs that the edge is great on that aren't really rockin', right?

I guess

Love is Blindness
Peace on Earth
City of Blinding Lights***LOVE that slide intro

probably wake up dead man too

 

[bridgit]

Silver and Gold.

Play the blues, Edge.

OF THE MYSTERIOUS DISTAAAANCE!

BETWEEN A MAN AAAAAAAND A WOOOOMAAAAAAAN!

'In Gods Country' tries to be a rocker on the JT but ends up being a bit of a let down.




in my opinion

thats cause its in between red hill mining town and one tree hill

 

[Phalanx]

The First Time?

 

[MrBrau1]

Party Girl (Studio Version)

 

[LJT]

Neon Lights the Kraftwerk cover is pretty non-rocking...still brilliant though

 

[Knuckle]

This one is a no-brainer. For me, the hands down winner of the "least rock moment" is:

Edge's cover performance of "Daydream Believer" (by the Monkees) on the PopMart Tour. Remember the "follow the bouncing red ball" across the video screen? I know it was in the context of the whole pop culture irony thing, but man it was a show-stopper (and not in a good way). I still wince when I hear that. I think Bono even used to introduce Edge on the song sarcastically saying, "I think it's time to rock!".

Otherwise, long live PopMart.

 

[mofo82]

Dare I bring up 'Dancing Queen' Popmart karaoke?? At least the Monkees were close to a rock group, albeit a 60's bubblegum poprock group, but covering Abba???? Pretty damn balls-y but not very rock and roll if you ask me (did I just quote Bono circa Zoo TV )

yeah, that sucked.
no wonder it's not on the popmart video.

dancing queen is actually a great melody; I only really like it via the u2 cover though.

Oh, you are SO off my list.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Heartland, One Step Closer, Grace, Stateless, Hands That Built America. Alll great songs.

 

[00Kevin]

I love Exit but the edge doesn't really do much on that song.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

I love Exit but the edge doesn't really do much on that song.

Have you ever heard it live?

 

[shart1780]

The answer to this is obvious.

Corpse (These Chains are Way Too Long) from Passangers.

 

[Numbology]

A Man And A Woman.Only Adam sounds alive on that b'shit song.

 

[AtomicBono]

I love Exit but the edge doesn't really do much on that song.

uhh...I beg to differ. That would go under Edge's MOST rock moments. It's one of U2's "hardest" songs. Especially live. Edge goes crazy live.

Edgicle That's some funny shit....

 

[00Kevin]

I said exit earlier but after further review, i've determined i was horribly horribly wrong. So i'm switching to MLK, which is also a great song.

 

[yimou]

It has to be the photo i saw recently with The Edge and Bono holding some lambs. Nothing rock n´roll about that.

 

[labell]

hahah the lambs

 

[YBORCITY]

MLK

...?! Where would the ROCK go in ANY of those tracks?

It wouldn't go. And that's the point. The point is His Edgeness has non-rocking moments, but I still love them.

And I did it because I saw "The Edge's Most Rock Moments" thread and I wanted to maintain a balance.
