Yeah, I think I remember you mentioning that - for me though, it's just one of those songs that never gets dull. Great fun to play, better to hear it done by the master though
I mean, the album version is good but the live versions out-do it for me
I truly fell for it when I heard the Slane version that a mate had copied onto a live compilation CD he made for me, I was just blown away. Still am, everytime I hear it. It's got the right balance of energy, power and finesse - one of the ultimate rock anthems, but made even more amazing when you consider the subject matter of the lyrics! I was listening to the Rock & Roll HoF show earlier, and Bono going on about Chris Blackwell and the making of October ("having a 2nd album with God in it?!" etc.) and I just think that's what sets U2 apart - Bono writes about anything and everything, but still hits the spot
) but it sounded like a funny idea...but you're right, there do seem to be topics opening for every song...I'm sure there's relevant topics around if you just use the search engine guys!
