I also like the simlicity and honesty of Beautiful Day drumming.
Mysterious Ways is a song which I dont think any other band in the world could come up with as its so original so that would have to be my fav.....and of course that song is driven by adam and larry.
Always appreciated the man , the cute one ,the driving force, just wanted to know how you rate his best. I am a drummer and have always had alot of fun playing all of U2's stuff. When I was a teenager that is how I learned to play ,listenening to the entire catalog and jamming along. mine rate as follows
1. Streets love to play this one , it exhausting
2. Bad the driving snare and the off time hi- hat make this one a must play
3. God part 2 Larry is the master of the floor tom, first time I heard this I said man that is gonna be hard
4. The Fly everyone always raves about the guitar in this song (which is amazing ) but the drums deserve their due
5.In God's Country watch the RH version, that left hand floor tom is not only awesome but difficult.
6. Pride for the exact same reasons as #5
7. Acrobat driving force behind this masterpiece
8 Bullet The Blue Sky especially live this one is insane.
9.Whos gonna ride your wild hoses love it love it love it.
10. I Will Follow old school larry at his finest
I pretty much agree with you on all of the ones you've mentioned, other than In God's Country because it's not a beat that I can remember without listening to it lol.
- Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses - it's such a different kind of rhythm to other stuff out there and is just part of what proves to be an epic song;
- The Fly is definitely up there, it's so frenetic and mad, like the song itself;
- Sunday Bloody Sunday has got to rate highly in my opinion, I don't know if there's anyone who knows rock music and doesn't know that song when they hear the intro;
- Zoo Station - I know it's not necessarily his most complex piece of rhythm but THE BASS coming from the drums on the Vertigo Tour, fuck me - it could have knocked down the walls of Jericho on its own...;
- Acrobat's probably the most unique rhythm ever contrived because of its onortodox time sig. (12/8 or something, I think?);
- Mysterious Ways is probably the grooviest out there;
- Streets is, like WGRYWH, such a driving force behind the song, if that doesn't get people jumping, I don't know what can;
Other ones to mention - Seconds, Like A Song, The Unforgettable Fire etc.
I could go on and list the entire discography, but that could get tedious...
I'm not sure, but I really like Larry's drumming on live versions of ASOH... listen to the WWIA version for an example (even though it's not live in the technical sense, it is the live version of the song).
A lot of good mentions but what about PLEASE? Grooves like a mutha. And live adding the SBS bit to drive home the true meaning of the song, for those that didn't quite 'get it', was an act of pure genius.
Larry is the master of the groove, just listen to all of Achtung Baby, and UTEOTW is one of his best songs,the outro drum fill is just epic and pounding, and watch him play it live at the R&R HOF, he just kills it
