Studio Tan Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 It's Celtic, it's martial, and it's one of the top 5 albums of the 1980s. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" would be as great of an opener as anyone can ask for, "Drowning Man" is one of the most beautiful and uplifting songs they've written, and "40" allows for tasteful and interesting unamped vocals from the whole corps. There's an awesome trumpet solo in "Red Light." Pioneer isn't fighting for the Top 12 any time soon, so I don't see the harm in doing a fan-friendly crowd-pleasing show that can provide some interesting interpretations of one of the biggest band's best albums. 'course, I'm a U2 fanboy, so don't mind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Might not be bad- any idea what Bono charges for licensing fees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Tan Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 If Kiwanis Kavaliers could get the Beatles, U2 can't be that hard. It's not as if popular music has never been played. Just tell him you'll kick some proceeds to Ghana if it shuts him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, that one has been on the table and has been discussed.....I was never involved in those choices so I cannot judge if it was good or bad not to go with it.....I'd like to see it. I once suggested to do a show called "Irish Rock, the music of the Simple MInds, U2 and The Cranberries". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Tan Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Well, good to know it was at least considered. I have no desire for the Cranberries to be a part of this, though. But just listen to these songs. How do they not lend themselves to being arranged for a drum and bugle corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuCharlie Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) I once suggested to do a show called "Irish Rock, the music of the Simple MInds, U2 and The Cranberries". Isn't Van Morrison Irish? His song catalog has some great variety and the Cadets played "Moondance" so it is possible to get the rights to use his music.

PeeJay Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 You know what my first thought was when I read the title of this post? "Oh god, not another slam Pioneer for sticking to the Irish theme". But I was too fast with my judgement. This is actually much more constructive. Why don't you guys also e-mail Pioneer your ideas. I know Roman appreciates constructive feedback, really!

Iplaytimpani Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 KK did get the rights to the Beatles music, but don't forget, they were not allowed to be on the video due to some copyright issues. It's becoming a larger and larger problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle z Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 You know, Welsh music is also considered Celtic, so here's an idea for Roman: Noson lawen--The Welsh music of Tom Jones: "It's Not Unusual" "What's New, Pussycat?" "Delilah" "She's A Lady" "Green, Green Grass of Home" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fievel Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 "Celtic Soul" Celtic Soul = The Commitments.... granted, none of their music was from Ireland... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
