Everything in this song is TIGHT AF: Guitar-wise, you have The Edge proving he's a tone monster, AND that he CAN pull off a solo if he wants to. The bass and the drums are simple, yet effective. Adam Clayton is one hell of a bass player, he sticks to simple stuff so that Edge can rip it on guitar and still have a solid base. Larry's drums are tight all the way, and the breakdowns are solid AF. Then there's Bono, think what you want of him, but he's a great singer and that's just the way it is.

that was fuckin brilliant! luv the new lyrics, adapted to our times!

Holy crap. This was incredible. How have I never seen this before?? This track highlights one of my biggest pet peeves with how this band is viewed.. Adam and Larry almost seem to be an afterthought in terms of public perception. To an extent I get why that is. Bono and Edge are overwhelmingly considered the face of the band bc of how polarizing they both are in different ways, their names, and because they have such an instantly recognizable iconic appearance. But to me Adam and Larry played just as much of a roll, not only in what they’ve been able to accomplish as a band commercially, but also with their pioneering sound. Especially in the early 80s up until this album was created. For whatever reason over the years they going going to take sort of a backseat. But in early days songs like Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bad, and Bullet the Blue Sky are all drum/bass dominated tracks. Which was hella rare for that era of music.

Now that’s music

Love the references to War and West Side Story. Can you imagine a compilation of all the bridge fills Bono has used over the years in this track...

look how old they are and how they continue to do so well

Sometimes I forget how punk U2 actually is.

Also, famously covered by Bruce Springsteen in 1986 for his live album. Probably where U2 first heard it, since they are friendly with Bruce and this video was all over MTV around the time they recorded Bullet The Blue Sky (in 1986 for release in 1987): kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6Jtk65yl9KxlrQ.html
