A slight of hand , a twist of fate

Great band - great song !

From 1987 No.1 hit 'With or without you' was one of the unforgettable hits of all time.

I love this band , they absolutely have had the power back in the 80's. I have loved them from the start and I'm 42 ...

Alive and Kicking

This nice one from Simple Minds takes me back to a good time , when music was pure ...music.

I was just entering high school at the time that one was a smashing hit.

At first it sounds to me like U2 song - yet it is great Simple Minds.

What you gonna do when things go wrong?

What you gonna do when it all cracks up?

What you gonna do when the Love burns down?

What you gonna do when the flames go up?

Who is gonna come and turn the tide?

What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?

Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?

Who's gonna save you?

911 - Big Brother

[wyclef]
Yo, what up, this wyclef with mary j.
I serenade the girls with my accoustic guitar
You know what Im sayin?
Yo, fellas havin problems with the chicks?
I want you right now to turn the lights down low
Pull your girl up next to you
I want you to sing this to her

If death comes for me tonight, girl
I want you to know that I love you
And no matter how tough I wouldnt dare
Only to you I would reveal my tears
So tell the police I aint home tonight
Messin around with you is gonna get me life
But when I look into your eyes
Youre worth that sacrafice
If this is the kind of love that my mom used to warn me about
Man, Im in trouble
Im in real big trouble
If this is the kind of love that the old folks used to warn me about
Man, Im in trouble
Im in real big trouble
I need yall to do me a favor

Someone please call 911
Tell them I just been shot down
And the bullets in my heart
And its piercing through my soul
Feel my body gettin cold
Somone please call 911
The alleged assalaint
Is my lover
And she shot me through my soul
Feel my body gettin cold

[mary j. blige]
So cold
Sometimes I feel like Im a prisoner
I think Im trapped here for a while
And every breath I fight to take
Is as hard as these four walls I wanna break
I told the cops you wasnt here tonight
Messin around with me is gonna get you life
Oh yeah, yeah
But everytime I look into your eyes
Then its worth the sacrifice

[wyclef]
If this is the kind of love that your mom used to warn you about
Man, we are in trouble
Youre in real big trouble
If this is the kind of love that the old folks used to warn me about
Im in trouble
Im in real big trouble
You got anything to say, girl?

[mary j. blige]
Someone please call 911
Tell them I just got shot down
And its piercing through my soul
Feel my body getting cold

[wyclef]
Someone please call 911
The alleged assalaint
Was my lover
And she shot me through my soul
Feel my body getting cold

Wyclef and mary j. blige
I know youre feeling me, girl
I know you understand

New Album 2009 - Kings Of Leon

Three brothers (and one cousin) formed 'Kings of Leon'.

The young band established in Europe and they began to build a following in their homeland after securing support slots on tours with U2 and The Strokes.

This album proved to be the band's biggest release, debuting at number 25 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and this week No. 1 in the BBC chart in the U.K.

Rattle - Beatls & U2

Rattle & Hum is the soundtrack to U2 in their 1987 tour through America.
The album is a mix of live tracks and studio recordings.

Another use of the word "Rattle" was by late John Lennon as he and The beatles performed at the Royal Variety Performance, London in 4 November 1963.

He presented thier last number :
"For our last number , i'd like to ask your help. For the people in the cheaper seats - clap your hands...and the rest of you , if you just rattle your jewllery..."


Watch U2 - Rattle & Hum :

The Zimmer's Generation

I saw The Zimmers on Jay Leno show.
It is extraordinary how something like that happened to a bunch of British old people that were thrown out of their club.
The Zimmers - whose lead singer is 92-year-old Alf Carretta - have recorded a unique version of The Who's “My Generation” at the legendary studio at Abbey Road - the place where the Beatles recorded most of their hits.
Along with U2 producer Mike Hedges, they recorded the hit and it is already all around the net and at Europe charts.

U2 - An Intelligence Aircraft ???

Did you know that ???

The post is, of course, about the legendery band U2.

Not very much knows that the leader of U2 Bono (Paul David Hewson) has really originally auditioned as a guitarist but couldn't play. He auditioned as lead vocals, but really couldn't sing.

As the years went by, the band finally set up as U2 her members were :

• Bono (Paul David Hewson) on vocals, and occasional rhythm guitar and harmonica


• The Edge (David Howell Evans) on lead guitar, keyboards and backup vocals


• Larry Mullen Jr. on drums and percussion.


• Adam Clayton on bass.

They came to perform in Israel in the 90's...

We were there !

It was great !!!
