  1. got a question for everyone. I'd like to know other people's ideas.

    Since the early days, Bono has always added snippets of songs to the end of "Bad", picking tunes that's arrangement matches perfectly.

    From "Goodbye Ruby Tuesday", to "Norwegian Wood", to "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses", or chanting "People Got the POOWWWER!" <-one of my personal favorites....

    and tons of others I didn't mention...
    anyway, my question is...what are some other good "snippets" that would sound great for live versions of "Bad", right as the song is kinda in the final stretch when Edge is just slightly playing the main riff.

    For me...I've ALWAYS wanted to hear him sing the first lyrics of "The Ocean". I think it would flow so good right there.

    A picture in grey
    Dorian Gray
    Just me
    By the sea
    And I felt like a star
    I felt the world could go far
    If they listened
    To what I said

    Listen to a live version of "Bad" and when it gets to that part, try singing those lines with it.

    just a thought.

    peace!

  3. Are you asking for our favorite snippet in Bad or songs we'd like to hear as a snippet?

    My two favorites are Lou Reed's "Take a Walk on The Wild Side" and Elvis Costello's "Allison".
  4. May faves are In The Garden (2005 05-07) and Allison (2001 06-06 I think).

    I also like Fool To Cry and Ruby Tuesday a lot .... but well I love all the snippets actually :-D
  5. I think ruby tuesday is the best

    dude Allison is incredible, isn't that what he does in the June 9, 2001 show? Love it. I only know it as a snippet though, Bono's voice during it is perfect

    having said that I really like Molly Malone from South Bend 2001. Sympathy for the Devil and Ruby Tuesday are classic, People Have the Power is great too
  7. fav. are Ruby Tuesday , walk on the wild side, all i want is you.
  8. one of the great things with the song is wondering what Bono will throw into it, although I guess the only surprise is really the first night of the tour, as he seems to like to settle on snippets for the tour, at least for certain portions of the tour
  9. Walk on the Wildside, Norwegian Wood, The First Time and The Rain Beats Down (probably from Elvis Presley and America though)
  10. AIWIY and The First Time, during ZooTV. 40's great aswell, and Fool To Cry...

    Have you heard The First Time at Chicago 09-21 Vertigo?? Even better than the real thing to me...love it. It isn't a snippet actually, it's the entire song!

    Don't know about that particular version, but I have 3-4 acoustic versions and I love them
