Quite possibly my favourite U2 track, Salome was a b-side from their Achtung Baby sessions. I've heard the various demos of the track and it was quite different, sounding more like the noisy Krautrock of Zoo Station than the glam rock of the finished track. The major change was the addition of a chorus, which when it kicks in just makes me go all peculiar. Bono's doing his best Elvis impression and the band sound like prime era Adam & The Ants, especially on that chorus.
Love it.

Sorry Simon can't abide U2.
There's a lot of their stuff I can't stand either, and I come and go with the stuff I do like, but this track just sticks with me no matter what.
Select magazine(!)once gave away a tape with the 'Zooromancer remix' of this on it, which I have to say is a cracker. And Bono's a No No for me too, in general.
I've that tape somewhere!!!
blloody hell bongo over here and sodding queen over at lees.... heeeeellllllllppppppp
I'm with Ally, pomp rock all over the place.
One of the main reasons I can't stand Bonzo, the side and the other 2 with normal names, is that every so often they come out with a track I do like (Bad, Angel of Harlem and One) well 3 and it makes me hate them even more.
