U2 - Silver And Gold (Live Rattle And Hum)
"Silver and Gold" was written in support of the Artists United Against Apartheid project, which protested the South African apartheid. The song was originally featured on the project's 1985 album, Sun City, performed by Bono with Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones. It was re-recorded by U2 for the single while the band returned to Dublin during in May 1987 during a break between the first and second legs of The Joshua Tree Tour. The song was described by Musician as "tough and raw, with Bono in husky and confident voice, underpinned by a sinuous bass line, and with The Edge demonstrating his newfound prowess in blues-based guitar. "Silver and Gold" was played live on The Joshua Tree Tour several times, one performance of which was featured on the band's 1988 album and rockumentary, Rattle and Hum. Both the studio recording and the Sun City versions were later featured on the bonus disc of the 20th anniversary edition of The Joshua Tree. The studio version was also included on the limited edition B-sides bonus disk of the band's first compilation album, The Best of 1980 - 1990. Album : Sun City. Released : December 7, 1985. Recorded : 1985. Label : EMI Manhattan Records. Producer : Steven Van Zandt, Arthur Baker. Genre (s) : Rock, Post Punk.
U2 - Bad (Live Rattle And Hum)
"Bad" is a song by rock band U2 and the seventh track from their 1984 album, The Unforgettable Fire. A song about heroin addiction, it is considered a fan favourite, and is one of U2's most frequently performed songs in concert. A performance of the song at 1985's Live Aid was a career breakthrough for the band. The version included as the opening track of the Wide Awake in America EP is frequently chosen for airplay by radio DJs ahead of the studio version. "Bad" began with an improvised guitar riff during a jam session at Slane Castle where U2 were recording The Unforgettable Fire. The basic track was completed in three takes. Of its immediate and live nature, U2 guitarist The Edge said "There's one moment where Larry puts down brushes and takes up the sticks and it creates this pause which has an incredibly dramatic effect." Producer Brian Eno added the sequencer arpeggios that accompany the song. The early 1980s recession had led to high number of heroin addicts in inner city Dublin. In concert, lead vocalist Bono frequently introduced the song as a song about Dublin. The Edge and the album's producers, Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, were focused on the music and less interested in the lyrics. Bono left the song unfinished. During a July 26, 2011 concert in Pittsburgh, Bono explained before a performance of "Bad" that the song was written for "very special man, who is here in your city, who grew up on Cedarwood Road. We wrote this song about him and we play it for him <b>...</b>
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday (Live Rattle And Hum)
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" grew from a guitar riff and lyric written by The Edge in 1982. While newlyweds Bono and Ali Hewson honeymooned in Jamaica, The Edge worked in Ireland on music for the band's upcoming album. Following an argument with his girlfriend, and a period of doubt in his own song-writing abilities, The Edge—"feeling depressed... channeled [his] fear and frustration and self-loathing into a piece of music". This early draft did not yet have a title or chorus melody, but did contain a structural outline and theme. After Bono had reworked the lyrics, the band recorded the song at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin. During the sessions, producer Steve Lillywhite encouraged drummer Larry Mullen Jr. to use a click track, but Mullen was firmly against the idea. A chance meeting with Andy Newmark (of Sly & the Family Stone) — a drummer who used a click track religiously — changed Mullen's mind. The opening drum pattern soon developed into the song's hook. A local violinist, Steve Wickham, approached The Edge one morning at a bus stop and asked if U2 had any need for a violin on their next album. In the studio for only half a day, Wickham's electric violin became the final instrumental contribution to the song. Drummer Mullen said of the song in 1983: "We're into the politics of people, we're not into politics. Like you talk about Northern Ireland, 'Sunday Bloody Sunday,' people sort of think, 'Oh, that time when 13 Catholics were shot by British soldiers'; that's not <b>...</b>
U2 - In God's Country (Live Rattle And Hum)
"In God's Country" is a song by Irish rock band U2. It is the seventh track from their 1987 album The Joshua Tree and was released as the album's fourth single in November 1987 in North America only. "In God's Country" was a difficult song for the band to record, which they put down to not being trained musicians, and they do not speak overly highly of it. During The Joshua Tree sessions, they knew it was not going be one of their best songs but they needed more up-tempo songs. It was developed out of Bono's frustration at trying to get "...a bit of Rock'n'Roll out of [U2 guitarist], The Edge". Bono tried to inspire The Edge by teasing and playing on his competitive instincts by claiming to be a better guitarist. Of the song, Bono says "[My] lyric was really good, the tune is pretty good, and the hook is pretty average - thanks to The Edge". Played in the key of D, the verses of the studio version alternates between D and A minor chords. The first chorus repeats a CGDCGD chord progression while the second chorus repeats a Em-GD-Em-GD progression. Album : The Joshua Tree. Released : November 16, 1987. Recorded : Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin, Ireland 1986. Label : Island. Producer : Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. Genre (s) : Rock, Post Punk.

RATTLE & HUM: Mysterious Booms Puzzles Residents in Horry County, South Carolina!
People in the northern end of Horry County were awakened with a start early Friday morning to what they say sounded like an explosion. People say the noise rattled windows and caused the ground to vibrate, but no one is quite sure what exactly caused the noise itself. "I heard a loud boom," says Matthew Sarvis of Loris. "I didn't know what it was, but it startled me." Reports came in to WMBF News that the effects of this mystery noise were felt in Loris, Longs, and Cherry Grove. Some reports indicate it was felt as far away as Carolina Beach. But when it comes to determining what caused the noise, even authorities are scratching their heads. Law enforcement officials say they didn't receive any emergency calls regarding fires or explosions in the area Friday morning, and the United States Geological Survey lists no nearby earthquakes that could have caused the rumble. Officials at Shaw Air Force Base say it couldn't come from a military plane, since going supersonic over land is against regulations. As for what it sounded like, each witness gives a little different description. "I thought it was a delivery truck," says Sheri Whittington, who heard the noise outside her Cherry Grove home. "My theory was someone's propane tank had exploded," says Danny Sarvis, who also heard the boom.
