I don't know how many million times I've listened to bullet, but still I don't get tired of itit's simply one of my favourites.
and why does it need to be a sing along song?
they got quite a few of that on tour, so I don't see why bullet can't be in between.
it always got a brilliant guitar solo, sometimes some nice snippets (I really enjoyed the hands that built.../johnny comes marching home version - gave me the shivers) and something for the audience to look at(minor factor, but whatever) like bono using the spot light on either edge or the audience, the balancing act with the umbrella during popmart or the whole COEXIST thing.
pride and one, on the other hand, have never been -that- inventive (if at all? someone remind me), always stayed mostly the same as far as I can remember. I know they're 'classics' but imo next to bullet they're weaker.
Nice post.
I won't die in a ditch if they leave Bullet out but I'd be ok if it's still included because, as you say, it has been used for different purposes and for different effects. It can be easily applied to the band's political message of the day.
