  1. Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:And to be honest, I think "signing up to die" is one of the more poignant lines in the song at the moment. Perhaps it's because I'm so used to the original that, while the lyrics are still powerful, I'm "used" to them...but when he sang that line my heart actually skipped a beat and my emotions were instantly tangled in the song like they've never been before.


    I had almost the exact same reaction to that line. I actually paused it and had to go back to see if he actually said that. Definitely one of his most blatant lines.
  2. I like the lyric switch up! It keeps the song fresh. Regarding their next tour, I really hope they don't do it so stripped back. I love getting riled up over SBS and that's best done with all the trimmings.
  3. It's over played as it is currently. As someone else said, it wouldn't worry me if I never saw the current/original version again
  4. It was me that said that, but funny enough - had you asked me before my first U2 show (2009 leg of 360), which two songs I would have dropped from the setlist, I would have said Beautiful Day and Sunday Bloody Sunday, because the Vertigo tour turned me off of both so much...and yet for my first U2 show, they blew me away. Wouldn't have traded them out.

    In fact I guess I would have ditched Walk On and that Crazy Remix from my first show.

    And Beautiful Day remained one of my favorite moments of my second show as well. Funny how that all works out.

    I don't think it's overplayed. You just have heard it too many times
  6. I think what's crucial here is this: The performance was amazing. Fresh, energetic and Bono is spot on for tone and power. They still got it.

    Oh, and not that it makes any difference whatsoever but here is the official U2 upload.

    and is good to see you here Ross !!
  8. Thanks Pato. I take unannounced forum breaks now and then, but I never expect anyone to notice. I've also had a few major PC problems and only recently got it all rebuilt and functioning again. Rebuilt from the ground up and functioning perfectly once more.

    To be honest i missed your gifs
  10. You guys can say that SBS and Beautiful Day are overplayed, but in my mind it's not a U2 gig without those two. Streets also.

    I agree with every word.

    Yeah, but it is also opinionated whether someone thinks that those two songs are overplayed.

    Beautiful Day should have been dropped midway through 360 in my opinion - it just got too boring. Sunday Bloody Sunday, on the other hand, should be in the set a lot. It deserves to be. It never bores me.
