OMG Khan, your playlist looks amazing. It is like "how did she know I loved this song?!"
Your cover is awesome too.

Honestly, that particular incident just cracks me up. Some of his other poor lyrical moments are just sad, but that one, with the rifling through the pages to find the lyrics - it really makes me laugh. The utterly ramshackle Party Girl in Sydney on 13 November 2006 is another true classic. It was probably BETTER because the band fucked it up so much.
And given artists with shitloads more songs like Neil Finn can play just about anything they wrote on command and get it right both lyrically and on guitar, Bono has no excuse. I mean, this is his JOB. He should aim a wee bit higher.
Here's the epic fail Walk On: YouTube - U2 Walk On Vertigo Tour Chicago
It was the first time U2 had played the song since February 2002, but COME ON. If they'd just stopped around 3:30, it would have been fine! The last couple of minutes are classic. Oh god, this is funny.
I guess it's tricker than the other songs on AB, perhaps, and that was enough to keep it off the setlist. And I guess also that, when asked why they didn't play it, saying it's insanely complicated sounds a lot better than "eh, we couldn't be bothered".I'm told it's not really that hard. I've never looked at a tab, and I don't think it sounds that difficult. They've definitely pulled off trickier stuff live anyway! I think it's just that they never got around to it on ZooTV and it's not a priority to them.
D'oh!! I'm always getting those two songs mixed up. If it helps, I can't hear it in Ultraviolet either...And I think you're listening to the wrong song there. Larry drops his sticks in Ultra Violet, either around 2:10-15 or 3:10-15, I forget which. I think probably the latter.
I was right in front of Bono that night, he had such a naughty shit how could i forget th words grin
ETA: I'm watching this, thinking, man this is familiar, I feel like I remember this happening before....Then I realized I was AT that show.
So, at nearly 300 posts, Khan leads! Can somebody beat me on a thread for a change, so that I don't look like too much of a postwhore?
Only The Lonely by The Motels!
You are my fucking hero LMP. God I love that song.

*watches that You Tube vid of Walk On*
Blimey, he even forgets the TUNE at the start.
... unless that was deliberate??

It would help if you stopped posting and stepped away from your computer. I dunno, go close your windows or something...
Heaven forbidDon't give him too much credit now.
I'm listening to Gotye right now, but I'll try to remember to listen again...I don't exactly feel like listening to Ultra Violet to check, but I think suddenly the drumming is reduced to just cymbals for a few seconds while he scrambles for another stick.
He was up in the tree with Edge, meditating on the lyrics.I don't suppose you'll be too shocked when I tell you Walk On wasn't played again for nearly a month?
I may go for a walk or something. It seems nice outside. Though ever since about 6pm yesterday, I've had this annoying dull pain across the top of my back. I can't figure out why; it just started randomly. And it's not very bad or anything, just a bit uncomfortable depending on how I move.
I think the only thing he really messed up at the Melb shows was that Kylie snippet.

That's it! I knew I was forgetting something.And there was Edge's "thank you, SYDNEY!"

Exactly how many things did you collide with on Saturday night? Maybe it's a delayed reaction
