Numb - U2

submitted by Stormsinger

Somehow I'd managed to totally forget this song, I've no idea how. It was...electrifying, when it came out, so totally unlike anything U2 had done previously. Not to mention, lead vocals by Edge.

Ah 1993, U2's last gasp of greatness for me. Achtung Baby and the ZooTV tour were brilliant and Zooropa had its moments but after that I lost interest. Although Elevation was a great rock song, why can't they write more like that? I kept hoping U2 would do what R.E.M. did with Monster, put out a CD with loud guitar songs and stop over thinking everything. But it aint gonna happen, that song Vertigo sounded so forced and perfunctory. But I digress.....

Thanks for posting this.

Yeah I gotta agree with you. I was a big U2 fan up until Zooropa (included). I really dig this album.
After this, I don't know what the hell happened, but I think they lost something along the way...

Tags for this video have been changed from 'zooropa, original' to 'zooropa, original, the edge, 90s' - edited by calvados

And here I thought it was just me that kind of lost interest in the band after Zooropa. Kind of nice to find you're not alone after all.

Cool music video, but didn't care for its song.
