Sinistereo - broadway junk or misplaced masterpiece?

« on: October 23, 2017, 08:45:00 PM »

Ok. Wipe that grin off your face or I'll do it for you

Suspend your judgement about the ridiculous decision Bono and Edge made to get involved with this dreadful musical.

Seriously, wipe that grin off your face or I'll .....wait, I'm a Mod, I can just banish you 😂😂😂

Ok no more joking.....

Am I seriously off base here? Is this song not a masterpiece? When was the last time Edge did a good duet with....well, anyone?

I went to confession over this and the Bishop threatened to send me to Suriname..😅😅 Anyone else think if this song was on POP or AB instead of Spider-Man we'd be calling it a Masterpiece ?

I think it sounds like a song Soundgarden should have done

I think it sounds like an Alice In Chains song. Which is no bad thing. It's not a bad song.

I don't suppose any demos have ever appeared featuring any of the musical's songs sung by Bono, have there?

Out of all the spidey stuff, this was by far and away my favourite. It sounds like something from the zooropa/pop period, which is never a bad thing in my book.

So i'll go for misplaced masterpiece.

There's some good ideas and stuff in the Spider-Man stuff ... I'm glad they salvaged the 'there is no them ... only us' but overall it feels like leftovers from albums gone by and they've tidied them up and used them for Spider-Man ... I'm glad they never surfaced as official U2 songs

I agree - bouncing off the walls could have been another Vertigo
