From http://www.u2tours.com/
U2 opens the 4th leg of its Vertigo Tour in Monterrey, the band's first show in Mexico since 1997. At the start of I Still Haven't Found..., Bono apologizes for being gone so long. Beautiful Day includes a bit of the Rolling Stones' 'She's a Rainbow.' Bad ends with Bono singing a bit of a traditional Mexican song. Before the show, police seize counterfeit merchandise outside the stadum, leading to a confrontation with merchants. One officer shoots his gun into the air to maintain control of the situation.

look on the bright side...the 2nd biggest band in the world have become a tribute band for the biggest band in the world
"We" win!
(theyve actually done this before...I think they used to do 'Ruby Tuesday' in the middle of 'Bad' many years ago...in fact they may even have done it at Live Aid or some other major event) |

We win again.....as long as MIck doesnt start covering "Sunday Bloody Sunday"!
I have heard them insert Paint it Black before as well. dreadful!
Anyone remember that cover of Sympathy for the Devil by Jane's Addiction? That was some good stuff! |

Yes, it's not new. As posted in the the Spanish board, they use to insert covers in between their songs, i.e. "Bad" as for Stones covers thay have played portions of SFTD, Fool to Cry, Ruby Tuesday and She's a Rainbow, probably more |

Those performers havent earned my respect and probably won't (Macca had mine until he tried putting his name in front of Lennon's, after that, it became glaringly obvious what kind of a person he is).
U2, particularly Bono, is not ok, as he continually uses other's suffering for his own agenda, thus deserves zero respect. |

I also heard when they did a version of "Sympathy For The Devil", never has that song sounded so wimpy than when they attempted it.

See Live 8....clearly an attempt on behalf of Bono to take a charitable event and use it to pimp himself out. He works the media like a finely tuned viola, and yes that is partially the media's fault. Recent reports from "The Edge" show that he sees this too and is growing quite tired of it.
From here on out, I shall only greet those who prefer the Stones to u2/macca! |

Thank you, it may be wisdom, it may be admiting the obvious. What I think is funny is Bono is just one letter away from Bozo. |

Hopefully when the history of rock is viewed centuries from now, and the late 20th / early 21st is studied, people will judge it more on the musical merits rather than the sideshow carnival / save everything psuedo-political campaign that U2 and their type run. |

you could also make the same argument that 'Mick' is just one letter away from 'Dick' |

In an episode of "Married....with Children" Al successfully pointed out that his name was one letter away from Bunny....fantastic stuff! |

Half of the names of band members of the Rolling Stones (namely Charlie and Woody) are also euphemisms for 'penis' !
and 'Richard' when shortened is...oh never mind!

"Hello hello, we're in a place called Vertigo... She comes in colours everywhere, she combs her hair... Hold on a minute people. I think there's a deeper message in this song and I'd like to sing it to ya...
Chorus 1: My name's Bono and I'm aware, I have strange hair
Please donate money, donate to the third world now,
i'll tell you how, please donate mo-o-o-oney.
Starving, suffering round the globe,
we make profits from the show, just 300 bucks a seat
let me be a twat and preach, let's give Africa our billions
Chorus 2: My name's Bono and I'm aware, the Grammys care
About my music, Everybody has to spend, and the UN
They think I'm Gha-a-a-an-di.
Have you pledged to UNICEF? Sit up off yer arse and get
A sense of humanity, just cause the camera loves me
And not you don't mean you're useless
Chorus 3: My name is Bono and I'm aware, we can't compare
To the rolling stones, so we suck up anyway
The press will say, Mick Jagger's old and si-i-lly
We must pester Mr Bush, Stones fans think I'm such a wuss
But they all must bow to me, listen to the Joshua Tree
Instead of Exile on Main street
Chorus 4: My name is Bono and Im aware, the world ain't fair
It's not a rainbow, but if my missions succeed
We'll all be free, of poverty-y-y-y-y
Chorus 5: My name is Bono so don't stare, aren't you aware
U2's the greatest, rock n' roll band in history
And we're copied, by bands like Co-o-ol-old-play.
