The "EXIT" Appreciation Thread

[prisz25]

Since I haven't seen too many Appreciation threads lately I have decided to pay respects to one of my favorite songs(don't know if someone already did this).....

EXIT!!!!

This song is so powerful! I can't get enough of it....Rattle and Hum with Gloria snippet it is so amazing!!!! I would LOVE to see this song come back!

"the hands of love"

Appreciate away!!!!

 

[xaviMF22]

one of U2's best

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I remember the first time ever listening to Exit. It scared me. It was just so creepy and intense.
I Exit

I Exit

'Intense' is definitely the right word to describe it. One of U2's best hidden gems

 

[U2mixer]

Excellent track

But they should be writing that stuff now!!!

Haunting...menacing...I looooove it!

 

[AtomicBono]

Exit is incredible. One of their best songs easily. Especially live it's amazing what wonders that three-note bassline does...

 

[Aardvark747]

Annoys me havin to turn the volume up so high to hear it on the album...but when Larry goes beserk at the end, I don't care HOW loud it is!

The end is the best part.

 

[U2bpbear24]

[prisz25]

The end is the best part.

Heck Yes!!!!

 

[annie_vox]

He went deeper into black
Deeper into white
He could see the stars shining
Like nails in the night
He felt the healing
Healing, healing
Healing hands of love
Like the stars shining from above

My favourite lines of this song... Still send me shivers every time I listen to it!

That's very true

 

[Azor]

I love how Larry smash cymbals

[bono_212]

A new lover of the song...It is truly amazing.

 

[vivalapopedge]

It is one of the most un-U2 songs they've ever done......so creepy but powerful

Here is one of the best live versions of exit. it's almost as good as rattle and hum.

me being a big fan of bono's guitar playing i must say, unlike r&h you can hear bono's guitar quite clearly (so to all the haters!)

remeber to replace ysi ...

 

[catlhere]

And i LOVE how the song starts "Ohhhhh greaaaiiiiiit, oceannnnn. oooooo greaaat seeeeea"



But seriously. Exit=Outstanding! and i liXes it alot! It should be recommended listening for anyone who wants to get into U2, they NEED to hear its awesomeness.

 

[youtooellen]

such a brilliant song

Larrys drumming

the studio track is pretty irritating (volume wise I mean), but the live version makes up for it

 

[VertigoGal]

One of the first songs that stuck out me when I listened to the Joshua Tree for the first time. My friend absolutely hates U2 but loves this song, she calls it "number 10"...

not bad live either

 

[tommycharles]

His hand in his pocket, his finger on the steel
The pistol weighing heavy, his heart he couldn't feel

...genius. Seriously.

 

[Carek1230]

Thanks for the clip! Excellent to hear it live as I'd not ever heard it live before. I am really growing to love this song. And I also love the all girl band Exit. I understand why they chose to name themselves after this song. Very strong!

 

[fly so high!]

Awsome song!

 

[tuwie]

thanks for hte live track, JMScoopy! do you know when/where it was from?

It's from the mountains and deserts bootleg. i believe it was in denver the night before or after rattle & hum was filmed.

 

[DignityPassesBy]

along with streets and running to stand still my favourite of The Joshua Tree i can't get enough of it even though i have to turn my cd player all the way up to hear it lol

 

[Tinwal]

The live version is one of my favorite songs ever! So dark and angry, it's almost disturbing. The bassline is fantastic and simple. It makes the song.

 

[Stefan]

It's quiet in the beginning in order to built up an atmosphere before the music explodes

I generally like to turn up the volume at the end of a song.

 

[mysticchild]

It was amazing live!!!!!!!
