There are others....How cool would a Killers cover be and not just a snippet? Kings of Leon..............Arcade Fire.........Franz Ferdinand?
Well, most of U2 audience is 30-40 years old, so they wouldn't appreciate new music snippets or covers. The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Police, that are the groups that U2 audience like
I do NOT want 11 O'Clock IF it's not played a la Boy-October-War Tour... I dno't want a Irving Plaza 11O'CLock
Ah Sergio, come on...Irving isn't that bad. I admit the tempo is too slow and Bono's Elevation-voice wasn't that good, but his voice is back now, it seems and the tempo is just a matter of play. I hope that 11 O'Clock Tick Tock will be in the setlist.

Ha! I don't like any of those, especially the Stones. I appreciate that Beatles inspired U2 to a certain extent but that doesn't mean they need to keep on paying homage every tour.

I didnt say "You HAVE to like this groups in order to be a good U2 fan!", I simply meant that old U2 audience wouldnt like a The Killers or Artic Monkeys cover In case they want some cover song to be played they expect some Beatles, Police, REM, Pearl Jam or so.
Why do people want to hear covers? It's a damn U2 concert. 1 or 2 snippets, okay. But not more.
Here here - I always say it, but U2 have a big enough discography to play a show with all U2 material (although I have no problem with snippets, different matter entirely in my opinion ).

Although I prefer earlier renditions, the Irving Plaza version was fine with me. Yeah, not too fast but it wasn't that shabby! Better than the Arnhem version...

How is it any more a mood killer than other sombre work like Love Is Blindness, Wake Up Deadman or BTBS? Alright BTBS has a bit of tempo, but still the content of the song isn't exactly cheery or happy-go-lucky...

Put simply, it just sucks.

A Pearl Jam cover would be good! Or Chilli Peppers?
