My apologies. |

Particularly on this day of CBGB's closing, I'd love to hear Patti's version!  |

I'll take the original Patti Smith version over this. Or even the Johnette Napolitano cover version (who sounds alot like Patti Smith anyways).

Seriously, I don't see the point of keeping this on the playlist when we could be listening to Patti Smith's original everytime. This cover diminishes her song and U2.
agree.......... |

Luv the geetar in this one. It makes up for the somewhat lackluster vocals. Overall, I think it does the original justice.

IIRC this was the B-side for the "When Love Comes to Town" single. I do know there was a remix of "God Part II" along with this track on the 12-inch. I still have a copy somewhere.

Funny though, the literal Dutch translation of "to sew" (naaien) means "to screw" in Dutch slang. So maybe Tux had a Freudian slip of the tongue there.  |

This version doesn't offer anything new or better or even different, for that matter, than the original. If a cover doesn't add anything, why bother?
I suppose it's a good segue into a different Patti Smith song.

Nice transition from Mulvey's cover of U2's "the Fly"
U2 covering Patti Smith's "Dancing Bearfoot" Both better that the next.

Okay, I'm trying to think, here: 1980? Is that before U2 was, like, really a band? Couldn't get their own stuff recorded? Had to do bland covers of music they didn't actually give a rat's ass about?
Or does this just sound that way?

EDIT: Oh! I see I said pretty much the same thing 4 years ago Well, it bears saying again. This really lacks any emotion whatsoever. |
