U2, once again has found its way into my lovely little blog. This time with their 1988 documentary, Rattle and Hum. Honestly from what I saw I really enjoyed it, especially the cinematography of it all and, of course, the music it featured. After watching it, I realized that the guys really were good friends with each other, and loved making music and just had a great time doing it. A few videos that really stood out to me were their cover of The Beatles hit song, Helter Skelter, Bono singing Just Haven't Found What I'm Looking For with a gospel choir, and all of their work with blues guitar legend, BB King, most notably "When Love Comes To Town." All of these really show U2's amazing versatility and pure talent when making and even rerecording music.
I have the up most respect for The Beatles, but U2, in my opinion, killed the song....probably one of my favorite recordings.
I love the way The Edge describes the song at the beginning of the video.
After watching the documentary, I really have come to appreciate U2 even more. These guys really do know what they are doing.
