So what do y'all think?
I love it...for several reasons...
1. It removes the guitar riff that was stripped right from Achtung Baby and gives the song a more unique sound.
2. The acoustic guitar (thank god / Bono they kept the drums and bass) gives the song a physical momentum that works wonderfully with the feel (just watch how Bono dances now to the song and did not before.)
3. They are also adjusting the arrangement which is something this song benefits from dramatically and is one of its strengths (i.e. the exploding back into the song bit in the middle.)
4. It softens the song just slightly which suits the subject matter better.
