Stingray, North Star, Glastonbury and Every Breaking Wave thread

Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:Soon - Breathe was a way better intro then Stingray - BD. If you're going to perform a new song to open the concert, make it an actual song. I guess it gives Bono the chance to dance around and open the show, but still. I liked Larry coming on and drumming himself after, almost like a reverse 40.

Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:I'm not saying "Why do people think it's so good", because I understand some people like it, and I don't. I'm asking if they're hearing something in it that I'm not, or try to explain why its' so cool to them, so that I can possibly listen to it from a different perspective.

I'd like to think I came about it a more intelligent way than posting "Stingray sucks!"

Originally posted by Thib6992:Well, I think Stingray is a great opener because it was made to open the show. It's certainly not their best piece of music, but it's still great as an opener.

Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:What are people hearing in Stingray? I hear Edge playing like 2 chords against a teardrop backing track. It's cool, I guess, but it's seriously like nothing at all.

Originally posted by drewhiggins:I don't think Stingray needs to be a strong tune as an opener. Most people are looking forward to the next song and the older ones that go to a U2 show. I'd love it to be an opener to an EP or something had it be worked on a bit more - at the moment it's got a cool sound to it but not much else.

Is there a good chance of it being used to open the Australian shows?
