    I only really found out about this topic when EyesWithPrideB3 (cheers ) told me. People were saying that it should be kept out of the setlists for the next leg. Tbh, I don't really think so. Reason being, it was a single and was a strong song. Possibly one of the songs that made NLOTH better.

    As EyesWithPride was saying, the song could be speed up a bit. That could be done but I could not imagine it being faster. I don't think anyone else could either.




    In my opinion- and maybe it's just my ears- the song was noticeably slower on tour than on the album. Not a TON, but it was noticeable. I think if they kept the drive that the studio one had, I would reconsider it. And maybe that's the problem- the lack of energy is taking away from the song's drive, and I'm hearing it slower because it's just not delivering.


  2. Yep, that's exactly what I thought.

    Yes it doesn't have the energy live, partly because Bono's singing is not there.


  4. Disagree. And the opera part bring a another dimension to it.


  5. That was only at like 5 shows though... he should do it more. I think the problem is that, the intro is sooo climatic, and then the DROPDOWN to the first verse and beyond. Its wayyy to slow in the verses and it just doesnt have interesting lyrics either. IMO
  6. I think I'm the only one here who loves this song no matter when and how they play it. This is the best work of our boys in the last years, in my opinion. Agrre about the fact thet they could play it faster live, but this song is even better live in my opinion because of Edge. His guitar really sounds fantastic there ...and that intro and the chorus are so great...

    I love it too


  9. I just don't like the original but the remixes; the Wonderland Remix in particular is on regular rotation at the moment.

    I agree with you mate - brilliant tune. Best song on the album
  12. Edge's guitar was the weakest instrument when played live. On the album it's powerful and prominent, but live...
