Ive heard many rumors that U2 did a cover of Love Will Tear us apart, very intrested to hear it, another rumor is taht they played it live with another son, does anyone have this so i can listen to it? i would be very happy
and those who dont make spike happy have to suffer consequences
U2 played "Love Will Tear Us Apart" as incidental music on some live versions of "With Or Without You". I may have a MP3 of it somewhere.
I was told that on the Elevation tour gig in Manchester, U2 did a few seconds of She's lost Control between songs. It could have just been that twat of a frontman alone.
u2 though do cite JD as one of their biggest influences. So much so they Vertigo is a direct rip off of Isolation!
No doubt it will be a version where Bono can look into the sky and throw his arms up. Possibly either spinning in a circle or letting rain fall on his face.

Oh yes he did... She's Lost Control and Transmission.... "Dance Dance Dance to the radio" in With Or Without you as well.
I have a recording of it, on CD#2 of Electical Storm.
On NewOrderStory, Bono sings a few lines of LWTUA..later on in film, Quincy Jones mention that Bono said U2's biggest influence is New Order

. . . very badly, & gets the words wrong!
'course their first song was 'out of control' - 'she's lost control' anyone?

Congratulations Spike. You managed to post something without making spelling errors. As a recognition of your achievement I've uploaded that live version of "With Or Without You" here

Strictly speaking Spike did make a spelling mistake,where he says derp is a honor when it is "an"honor,and not just a word innit?Go on then, tell us what this derp is then...
Don't know about U2, but, heard an interesting cover of LWTUA by The Cure. I know not everyone's cup of tea, but, it does sound quite good !
shhh...you aren't supposed to mention the Cure around these parts...it can get ugly VERY quickly...
I saw U2 during their 'Love Town' tour at Western Springs in Auckland, New Zealand in the 80's (1988 I think). I believe they played 'One Tree Hill' for the first time at this gig in memory of a kiwi bloke who died(named Greg I think - possibly their tour manager or something). Anyway, during this song Bono broke into a few bars of the LWTUA chorus. It was interesting because 'One Tree Hill' is a local sightseeing attraction in Auckland (that used to have one tree until some pecker-head cut it down) and the lyrics include a verse along the lines...'the moon comes up over one tree hill' - and it was a full moon/clear night when they played it at the gig.
I really do hate U2, commercial shite trying to blend in with all the youngsters, fuck em to be honest. Vertigo was alright but apart from that, they can stop all their act and just fuck off somewhere, NO rule, U2 = fake.

Hooky.
