  1. I'd forgotten how bad BTBS on the Chicago DVD was. The solo had me in stitches of laughter after seeing the Elevation and Zoo TV versions; just pathetic. And then they couldn't even be bothered to finish the song! Bono does his little snippet and then they stop.

    1/10 Would not watch again.
  2. What's the current obsession with Bullet?
  3. I go through phases. I've hated BTBS since... actually since I started listening to U2. It has just never appealed to me at all. However, I left the Slane show on for a bit too long the other day and it ran on to Bullet. I left it on and by the end I had found myself a new little obsession... for the next few days anyway.
  4. Kirsten hates it too
  5. It always seemed misplaced on the album. Streets needs no introduction, Still Haven't Found is sacred, and Without You comes close to song perfection. The outro of WOWY is possibly my favourite "part" of any song. Any other musician would have put a full solo there, but U2 knew better and put this beautiful strumming in instead which was just complete genius (I'll apologise now for not knowing anything about music/guitars ).

    The finish of WOWY is untouchable. And yet, due to the structure of the album, that euphoric, legendary finish is halted abruptly by that miserable racket that is BTBS. That's why I hated it.

  7. Edge
  8. I could watch that video all day.



  9. It's true though; those few seconds of that song are some of the most defining moments in music.

  11. This video pretty much sums up Edge's genious and his incredible approach to how guitar playing should be. His simple strumming during the WOWY outtro has always fascinated me, and I had shivers when I first saw this video, many years ago. Still have them

    gotta say too, I always hate when Bono gives his "Thank Yous" to sponsors and the fans during the outro.... however, I don't mind it with Shine Like Stars and Never Tear Us Apart
