mr claw wants an electric desire

[corianderstem]

I'm not a big fan of the acoustic sets they've done on the past couple of tours (I was thrilled that at each of the Vertigo shows I went to, they played the more "rocking" encore instead of the mellower one), but I will reserve judgement on Desire until I've actually heard/seen it.

Maybe I'll suddenly think it's the best thing ever.

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

It is not, but its good anyway

 

[Vlaco]

Couldn't agrre more Chizip, full electric Desire is where it's at. ZOO TV and Lovetown versions were out of this world. I'm one of the few who don't like U2 doing acoustic sets at all, I don't think there songs fit that style.

I think it would be cool if they were at least to rotate in some different songs acoustically... I mean really, Mofo acoustic is a terrible idea but how cool would that be to hear it live?

 

[RedRocksU2]

Mofo acoustic??? No.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

yeah, yeah - but think of the bragging rights - you could tell people you were there when U2 did one of the strangest versions of any of their songs, ever!

I'm sayin'!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

you know, all I ever hear around here is "U2 aren’t daring anymore" or "I wish U2 would get their balls back like back in the 90's"

I'm sorry but I don't know what is more daring than Mofo acoustic - now THAT takes balls if you ask me.

People only want U2 to be daring when it doesn't involve changing their music live and that is just sad if you ask me.

 

[RedRocksU2]

yeah, but mofo???

c'mon

It would be awesome - people would hear how great those lyrics are without all that crazy, distracting (and yes, awesome) music hiding them.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Thanks Cori

Ha! For YEARS I thought he was singing "little red red .... little red red" and that's what I still hear, even though I now know what he's actually singing.

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

I thought it was ringing red bell... ringing red bell

 

[waynetravis]

i always thought it was 'real man red'

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I heard "little red 'vette" Like a Corvette... I have no idea why...

 

[daygloeyes2]

I always thought it was "little mofo, little mofo."

 

[bigjohn2441]

lol I always thought that myself!

I second this thread. I've never liked acoustic Desire, period. I don't like much acoustic U2 at a real show at all, really. One song max per show and I'm cool. But then again I don't mind listening to it on boots, which means that at some point it was played live like that for someone else. So I'm being contradictory. I just don't like when they go on a 3 song acoustic set when *I'm* there, I guess

 

[The John Tree]

I kinda like the stripped down Desire. It's one thing to watch it on YouTube or TV or something, but when you're actually there, it's really fun to participate and sing along.

I know you can sing along to the loud electric version too, but the stripped down version is more fan friendly, especially when the band's down together right in front of the fans at the end of whatever ramp staging they have set up for the tour.

ah...the things fans like to argue about...
Why can't some people just enjoy a show, instead of always finding something to complain about?!

because without dis-agreement, debate, and opinion, the world would be a terribly, terribly boring place.

 

[Barkeeper]

Wow, if there's this discussion of how U2 is getting old is going on here....Rolling Stones fans must have already killed each other.

I first thought it was this, also.
