"New Years Day" – U2 - FRANKS BASS COVERS #shorts
Released Jan 1983 from the album “WAR”
Bass Tab & Notes- DROP 'D' TUNING (REALLY ONLY NEED TO DROP THE A & D strings)
The bass line is pretty much repeated throughout so the “short” and the timing was the vision for this cover.
I remember playing this album cover to cover endlessly for weeks.
One of the rarities in music – the original members of the band have been together since 1976
The Song
- the first single from U2's third album, War.
- the first U2 song to chart in America, where it reached #53, but the song got a lot of exposure on MTV and attracted the kind of fans that tell their friends.
A line from this song's lyric, "Under a blood red sky," was used as the title for a video and live album U2 released in 1983. The video was called U2 Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky, recorded at Red Rocks, Colorado on June 5, 1983
Musicians
Bono (Paul Hewson) – lead vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica (1976–present)
The Edge (David Evans) – lead guitar, keyboards, backing vocals (1976–present)
Adam Clayton – bass guitar (1976–present)
Larry Mullen Jr. – drums, percussion (1976–present)
