sofa9053 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I like Paramore's version way better too. Then again, I'm not really a U2 fan either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire At Will Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 A reminder not to share the song here please and thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeDays Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I REALLY wish that Paramore would do more covers non-acoustic... I love it, don't get me wrong, but just like with My Hero... I thought that was going to be electicric (if that's the word I want)... Their Stuck On You cover was REALLY good, and wayyy better than the origonal.. So yeah, I'm sure U2 like it, I just wish they'd do less acoustic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kacky Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Yeah - don't post the song, kiddies! We don't want any trouble. I really like Paramore's version. Lots of bands seem to cover that song... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 i wouldnt be suprised if u2 hasnt even heard of paramore, or if they have, that they didnt know paramore covered their song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchthesky Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 yeah, neither would i to be honest i've never heard the original not a U2 fan but i heard Paramore's cover on youtube and loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrie Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 they'res plenty of people that cover them and they wouldnt have to the time to listen to them all and judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeDays Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Uhhhh, don't you have to have permission to remake a song though?... Because isn't the copywrite on songs there for like 50 years or something?... I'm not sure, but I swear you need permission first, so there's no way they WOULDN'T know.... I remember Hayley saying something about having to somehow get ahold of Refused to be able to use that line in BornForThis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchthesky Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 covering it live or something you probably wouldn't need permission but to sell an actual recording it makes sense to need permission i don't know if U2 themselves know about Paramore covering them but they had to ask someone who works closely with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcblinker Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I doubt U2 knows who paramore even is..but im sorry the original is still better. But I really love the paramore version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monika Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 They would have heard the song though, i'd say. Whenever a band releases a cover like this - As an exclusive track etc. They need the bands permission to do so. I'm guessing that U2 would have liked to have heard the final product.

Komomaan Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Isn't it the record label who decides if a band can cover the song? Anyway, I liked to know their opinion but I think they haven't hear of Paramore yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParamoreRedSoxGurl Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Isn't it the record label who decides if a band can cover the song? Anyway, I liked to know their opinion but I think they haven't hear of Paramore yet I think It might be who owns the copyright of the song. Since Bono probably wrote it, I guess he'd be the one who decides? mabye.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimist Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I like Paramore's cover way more than I like the orginial. I'm not a big fan of U2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exit_152 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Funeral for a friend did a cover as well but I still reckon Paramore's is better one of the three. I'm also pretty sure it's whoever owns the copyright that they have to get permission from as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarlequinGerhl Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 its a good cover but the original is alot better its such a classic it would be impossible for any band to pull it off better than the original tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverment2brag Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 its really sweet to picture like U2...listening to the song and enjoying it and as far as i know, yeah whoever wrote it like..aprooves it or whatever haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Yeah, to get the rights to remake a song, you have to seek approval/permission from the original copyright holder(s), which is actually all four members of U2, not just Bono, and pay them for it. Some bands just need the money and will give their songs to whoever can pay them. Other bands (usually more well-known ones) usually like to hear what the bands are doing with their song, so people don't hear a really crappy remake of it. If U2, themselves, didn't listen to the song, someone in their camp quite likely did. I'm sure U2 could find three minutes to give it a personal listen though. The original is a classic and my favorite U2 song, but Paramore did a great job and gave it a whole new feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParamoreRedSoxGurl Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I lvoe the origional verson, as well and the version Daughtry did (even th they cut out the good parts of the song), but I still think Paramore's cover is the best.
