War Child
Gone should have been the first single, hands down.

I'm still trying to figure out though how come Last Night On Earth didn't do better on the charts. Maybe the verses are too slow, I don't know. It's such a great song!
JOFO said:I agree about the remixed version; absolutely horrible....what were they thinking?
but I think this tune has had its day; it'll not see the live stage anymore, acoustic or otherwise.
Miggy D said:I think this is because so many people (general public, casual fans, etc.) were turned off by Discoteque (the song and the campy video) that they never gave the rest of the album a chance. I think Discoteque is the worst lead single U2 has ever chosen for any album they have ever put out. Flame me, but history stands behind me.

JOFO said:I really don't understand what the big deal playing that song live is; it's just another medium slow song in 4/4 time.
Catman said:I personally don't think there's much difference between the POP and "Best Of..." version....atleast not so much so that you could call it "atrocious," "bastardized," and "a nightmare on wheels"

I don't know if you can really feel embarrassed for people that are clearly taking the piss anyway. They knew they were doing high camp, even if Larry looked a little uncomfortable during the dance--he eventually smirks on camera. The scene where Edge dances while Bono nods in approval is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, as is Edge with the breath spray.
I think this attitude and reaction to the song and video says more about people's inability to see different sides of their idols more than anything else, which is really sad.
