A tune we did for fun over the weekend. It's not meant to be a copy of the orginal as you'll hear. I ditched the electric guitar in favor of acoustic for a change. Yzerman thought his part would be easy. lol. This was probably the toughest song he's had to sing. The last verse was a bit tricky for him... His face was as red as sun by the time we were done!!:lol: :lol:

Hope you enjoy it...

Excellent...especially loved the vocal; it's got a lot of soul. Recording good and the acoustic fots great; I can't remember what the original sounds like on guitar? U" are one of those bands where I don't have a ton of their stuff but I've never heard a song I didn't like!? We must all have bands we don't get round to getting into for some reason. But a great song is a great song and you did a great cover of a great song! :tmi:

Great cover guys... Rattle and Hum is my favorite u2 album. This is one of the first tunes I learned to play on the guitar. Was it a hair faster then the orig? You guys could belt this out on some boarwalk somewhere and get a nice crowd round ya's. Great stuff.

Well, he'll be happy when he reads this. The next morning we had to re-listen the whole thing just to make sure it was ok.

Wow... thanks for the kind comments wah. I agree with what you say getting into other bands...

Just listened to the original again and it does seem a touch faster. I never really noticed though till you metioned it... Thanks for listening wig!!

great song, great cover, you guys did it wonderfully.....I always take Bono's singing for granted...I think you did a real great job Yzerman, he is a hard vocalist to cover:yourock:

that acoustic sounds great in mix:rock:
