I would consider U2 a god Musical Act rather than good Artists as their music never really progressed much beyond this.

Excellent transition from "Crystal Frontier."

Discussing this song's purely musical merits and ignoring its political context and impact is about as intelligent as it would be to criticise Picasso's Guernica in terms of brushwork and nothing else.

And well it should. So much hate has made so much pain. This song should make your skin crawl.

I agree.  I still can't stand Bono though.  Sorry.  Talk about a publicity whore.

I finally made it to Red Rocks last summer.  Looks like an awesome place to see a show.  Sadly, I was there on a Saturday morning, but still impressive.  The place was packed with exercise freaks training up and down the rows.

  You don't like the music, ok.  You think the lyrics are lousy, ok.  The drummer and bass player are weak, fine.  The guitarist really can't play, ok.  The singer is monotonous, fine. 

These would all be opinions on the songs that you are absolutely entitled to have,  based as they are on your own subjective tastes.  I would disagree with you on all counts but, again, fine.

But - "they lost all emotion and started writing for the record company's sake" - Have you actually ever listened to The Joshua Tree, or Rattle and Hum, or Achtung Baby or All that You ....., No Line..... etc.  That is nonsensical opinoin based on nothing.

I got to see the concert in Philly when this came out.
We camped out overnite for tickets behind the music store.
The concert was great. The camping out with friends was even better.......

Whether he's a prick sucking at a tit, I don't know....

But I do know I don't enjoy the song.  Pretentious crap, in my not-so-humble opinion.

There ya go.  Logic, check.  Acknowledgment of past greatness, check.  Acknowledgement of currenty soullessness, check. 

That line has all the making of a valid comment that contributes to the dialogue.

Yes great song, but I think your evaluation of "true ART to come from that generation of Rock" could be somewhat presumptuous, especially given that you were apparently little more than a toddler during the "era" you refer to.  Of course, we're all entitled to our opinions.

Brings back early years of MTV video (Bono singing live at Red Rocks)- and the very essence of anthem-based R&R. Great to hear agin.

Just got to see them play this live in Moncton, New Brunswick this past weekend for their final concert of the 360 tour. It was as fantastic then as it was in 1983 when it came out! Can't hear it enough

That's probably his over enthusiastic use of delay and reverb which gives it a really 80s FX happy guitar sound.
 
There's no delay in this track. And I think there's no delay in any track on War.
