The Fly“ is the seventh song on U2’s 1991 album, “Achtung Baby“ and was released as the album’s first described the single as “the sound of four men, chopping down The Joshua Tree due to its shocking departure from the former “classic“ U2 sound.
“The Fly“ was an introduction to the sonic and electronic experimentation that would dominate U2’s 1990s work. The song was also a showcase for Bono’s “The Fly“ persona on the
Zoo TV Tour, a stereotypical leather-clad rock star known for wearing large wrap-around sunglasses and strutting around the stage.
History
- Described as a “whooshing, industrial, beat-driven“ piece .
“The Fly“ shows a heavier, more abrasive side of U2. The band first experimented with such a sound on their cover of Cole Porter’s “Night and Day“ and “The Fly“.
The song also features one of the most intricate guitar solos The Edge has ever recorded.
Underlined by this new direction, “The Fly“ became extremely successful among alternative rock audiences, though it struggled to find airtime on pop radio. - 🎸
