I added a "Confusing" template thingamajig to this article because there's no clue as to what the song is about. It should at least mention the 1972 Derry Bloody Sunday incident so that it's in some sort of context.

It's in there now. I'm taking out the template, but feel free to put it back if it still feels confusing. --Kristbg 01:16, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I put in the mid-song rant, so people get the feeling of the song and what the real message is. I left in the word "Fuck" as it has appeared in the U2 article without opposition. It is also meant in an angry context, definately not trying to be offensive. Duey Finster 22:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Best of 1980-1990

This song is the fifth track on U2's The Best of 1980-1990. Shouldn't it be mentioned here? El sand bag57 22:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on adding an album listing infobox for the Best Of albums. That should do it. --Kristbg 00:08, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Song sample

I was thinking a music sample of the song might help illustrate some of the descriptive text in the "Inspiration and recording" section. 30 seconds seems to be the ideal time; any ideas which 30-second sampling to use? I was thinking the opening 30 seconds. They definitely illustrate the raw guitar and bleak lyrics, as well as the martial drumbeat, but they don't showcase the hopeful change (musically) in the "How long?" section. Thoughts? --Mcmillin24 05:15, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly what I thought. Go for it! --Kristbg 14:58, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
