phatman Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 ....idk.........i like it but it seems rather unoriginal............no real edge that made my jaw drop or head bounce........but as with any track, i'll have to listen to it over and over for a few to get a fully substantiated opinion......

funketeer Posted September 24 Author Report Share Posted September 24 It's ok...not very good, I'm a bit disapointed myself... I'm looking forward to the record thought.This Vertigo song is no real representation of what U2 can compose as a band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinybutterfli Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 This Vertigo song is no real representation of what U2 can compose as a band I disagree. Those strong guitar riffs are signature The Edge. I love the distorted sound of the song - very raw, rough. Its going to make a great live song. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album!

You've said it...the riffs are there...but The Edge can play a million of those...now...the song Vertigo is no "One"..."New Year's Day"..."Until The End of the World"....Hum...I like the sound...the song? It's kinda shapeless...really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funketeer Posted September 25 Author Report Share Posted September 25 wow...talk about having your expectations lowered. I had the honor to attend a first-listen party for "All That You Can Leave Behind" back in 2002 (before it hit the stores) and I was hit by every chord, every lyric and every lick and solo... although Vertigo has not hit me that way... I'm waiting for the album like a kid waits for chocolate cake... listening to the album as a whole will probably result on me liking Vertigo... for now, the song and I are only flirting... it hasn't registered yet... click-click-click-sheekee-sheeka-- sheekee-sheeka... (that's all I remember from it)U2 Rocks!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtfury Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 My first U2 concert was was the Unforgetable Fire way back in 85. Been a loyal follower ever since. Vertigo is too formula- kinda like going through the motions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo is too formula- kinda like going through the motions. For U2 fans this song would be a straight-to-b-side album...good, but no "Pride (In The Name of Love)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funketeer Posted October 3 Author Report Share Posted October 3 01.10.2004‘We’ve Waited 25 Years To Make This Record’‘It’s Such a Personal Record, It May Just Be Our Best,’ claims Bono in the new edition of Q Magazine.In a lengthy interview covering ten pages of the November edition of the UK music glossy, the band muse on each track of the forthcoming release of How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. Adam, for example, points out that the first single Vertigo offers some intriguing musical references to the earliest U2.‘The bass and drums have a little bit of Echo & The Bunnymen in there – a nice wink to where we came from.’Edge has no doubts that the album has some showstopping tracks.‘This is going to be a great live record,’ he says, before confirming that lemons have no planned role in future U2 shows. ‘If memory serves, the lemon is a pretty lousy form of transport. It was for sale on eBay for a while but I don’t think there were any takers.’As for the drama earlier in the summer when a CD of much of the new recording went missing during a photo-shoot, the singer appears to have little sympathy for the guitarist.‘I was so happy it was him. It’s the sort of thing I would do. Everything turned a little Pink Panther down here for a while. There were gendarmes falling out of the sky...’And inevitably with a U2 album, there were creative tensions – and creative resolutions! Larry explains that these days there is a fairly simple mechanism to resolve any artistic conflict.‘There were some heated debates as usual.’ he recalls. ‘But the party line is, If you don’t have a better idea, shut the f*** up. It usually does the trick.’The November edition of Q Magazine is in the shops now. More here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
