While I’m giving you the “cover song” report, here’s one more. U2 is releasing another “Best of” album, in case you hadn’t heard of the band back in 2000 when they released their last one.
This one will include a couple of new studio tracks, one of which is a cover of The Skids’ “The Saints are Coming”, which they debuted at the New Orleans Saints’ Monday Night Football home opener game last week.
I was impressed with the version on MNF – I’m looking forward to the recorded version. I had been dreading it.
Which reminds me. Big Country (late lead singer Stuart Adamson was guitarist for the Skids) recorded a bunch of covers. They put out a cover album called “Under Cover,” and they also did several on their acoustic album “Eclectic.” I’m fond of the version of “Eleanor Rigby” on “Eclectic.”
The new version of The saints are coming is crap. It’s clinical. I was a little teenager when I saw The Skids at the Manchester Apollo on the Circus games tour 1980. They were raw, something that Green Day and U2 ceased to be a long time ago.
Cheers

Bono earned my respect long time ago. Green Day is still trying. No offence!
