Vertigo: Sounds like......

[seankirkland]

I've been listening to the single a bit and have some thoughts....

the guitar work sounds like Blur to me (plus, the shouting spanish in the background sounds like their stuff a bit). I like Blur pretty good, but they're not my favorite (of course). What do you think? Thoughts on the sound or mood?

 

[starsgoblue]

Maybe Blur sounds like U2...

 

[sue4u2]

I've not heard that much Blur (what I have I like) but

Maybe Blur sounds like U2...

that sounds more likely, starsgoblue

Maybe Blur sounds like U2...

It depends on who did the sound first. If it sounds like the U2 of the 80's for instance, then it would be Blur sounds like U2. But if this is a new sound for U2, then U2 would be sounding like Blur.

 

[csimpok]

It sounds like a hungarian rock band did 10 years ago. I can email you the part of a song where the guitar riff is almost the same as Vertigo's. (size: 500k)

 

[U2Fan101]

It sounds like U2 is kicking ass as usual.

I let a friend listen to the song, and before it had even gotten out of the first chorus he thought of Blur. "Crazy Beat"

 

[TheFlyOnTheWall]

csimpok, it's scary how it's almost the same...

 

[csimpok]

Obviously The Edge usually listens hungarian rock at home
Anybody else doesn't want to hear it?

OK, it's been bothering me for awhile, but this is what I think the song is made of:

Intro before "1,2,3,14" - Beck - "Mixed Bizness"
Intro after "1,2,3,14" - U2 - Elevation
Verse - U2 - "Elevation"
Chorus - The Supremes - "You Keep Me Hanging On"
Verse - U2 - "Elevation"
Chorus - The Supremes - "You Keep Me Hanging On"
Bridge 1 - Jet - "Rollover DJ"
Bridge 2 - U2 - "I Will Follow"
Bridge 3 - U2 "Elevation"
Chorus - The Supremes - "You Keep Me Hanging On"
Outro - REM - "Ignoreland"

Brilliant

Vertigo makes me think of

Am I the only one who played that video game, Primal Rage? I probably am... but I was obsessed with that game for the longest time, my AIM screename (which I've had since 6th grade) is even "PRBonoGurl." Primal Rage Bono

...I'm weird. nevermind me.

 

[artdirector]

Sounds a bit like Stome Temple Pilots..the gutiar riff...

But al in all its still U2.

 

[csimpok]

numbology: mp3 is sent
What do you think about it?

 

[bedouin fire]

the spanish counting + the rock riff reminds me that major offspring hit four years ago, that at the time reminded me the ramones, so the inspiration is probably the same

 

[Numbology]

OMG! they ripped vertigo 10 years ago!


and ˝kapd be a horgot˝ means ˝it's everything i wish i didn't know˝ on hungarian...right?

Every artist ever- EVERY SONG IN HISTORY

I couldn't help myself

 

[csimpok]

Numbology: "Kapd be a horgot" means "s*ck me" in a nicer form...

 

[Numbology]

see,i tould you they ripped U2:

you can swallow,
you can spit,
you can throw it up
or choke on it.....kapd be a horgot


i rest my case

 

[babyman]

this song really reminds of elevation, if you try to sing the elevation verses with the musical base of vertigo you will see it isn't so difficult

yes , because the two songs are in 4/4 beat with the simplest musical structure in rock and roll, which is similar to almost every song out there now. I think as The Edge said, thats the point, they wanted to show where their musical roots came from (I read that in an article somewhere on a U2 forum.)

the yeah yeah yeah's remind me of the song crazy beat by blur
