Why no Stand Up Comedy?

Bonoandboss99 · 10-17-2009, 01:18 AM

I mean come on, this song is easily one of the best U2 songs in a long time. In my top 3 off the new album, and has it ever been played?

To me it's like No Line's Elevation.

Keep your fingers crossed, that they do serach for a more uptempo rocker in the set – and finally play this great tune in 2010. SAC with two guitars could develop in another moment kind of like "The Fly".

I really hope they'll play it. It could rock live.

Not playing this song gives me hope that U2 will stop writing dumbed down versions of songs... Looking back at the FEZ videos this song had potential.

I hope it appears live.

i think it's mostly due to the fact that its sister song "Stand Back" is rumored to be on Songs of Ascent.

Count this and Even Better Than The Real Thing as the 2 songs I am most shocked about not hearing this tour.

I am betting both will come up at some point. SUC especially since Unknown Caller has gone away.

I was really looking forward to hearing SUC live. It rocks, unlike Unknown Caller.
