Saints or ABOY wich is better ( set-wise )????

Mauwer · 11-14-2006, 12:23 PM

Friends ,

Seems like Saints has kicked out ABOY of the set.
But it would``ve been really great if it was played at least one of the Sydney shows , just for diversity.

But wich one do you think works better Saints or ABOY????
( I have to yet to hear Saints from the 5th leg , I guess it must be better coz there`s no Greenday

)
But I have to go with ABOY.
I know it`s not the best song from Bomb but it`s a U2 song.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

I Miss ABOY....

Why not both?

ABOY -> SAINTS

U2Man · 11-14-2006, 02:28 PM

I prefer Saints as a song.

matsimon · 11-14-2006, 03:07 PM

i prefer ABOY...fantastic music live!

Nisse · 11-14-2006, 03:54 PM

I like ABOY better, plus it's not a cover.

LemonMacPhisto · 11-14-2006, 05:26 PM

I like Saints more, but miss Bono's tambourine action on All Because of You.

I don't particularly think either song is great. But if I had to choose, I would choose ABOY. I just HATE it when a band I pay a shitload of money to go see plays a cover. What a cop out in my opinion.

Even though Saints is a cover, it's more fun than ABOY, which just bored me all three times I saw it.

saints ROCKS!

wang_chung · 11-15-2006, 12:50 AM

saints isnt too bad, but i want to hear ABOY. Did anyone else hear it getting soundchecked in Sydney 2

I really like ABOY on the album, but it really suffered live. It needs Bono to actually play guitar on it.

So Saints wins!

Of course I prefer ABOY. First, it's a funny raw rock&roll song. Second, it's not a cover. Third, it's not a bad song like Saints is.

alanah · 11-16-2006, 12:07 PM

No doubt, I prefer Saints.

I agree, though the Brooklyn Bridge performance was great. I really don't know why it went downhill on Vertigo...
