U2 - Zoo Station (Vertigo Tour, Live from Chicago | 10.05.2005) [Bass Cover] [Reissue]

I'd like to dedicate this bass cover to Adam's 61st birthday on 13th March, 2021. And I wish happy 30th anniversary to the album Achtung Baby in 2021!

This is the reissue version of Zoo Station here on the Bass Traps channel, as I already played the song in 2013. I’ve changed a lot technically since then, so I’m confident this version will win you over as well.

"Zoo Station" is a song by Irish rock band U2. It is the opening track from their 1991 album Achtung Baby, a record on which the group reinvented themselves musically by incorporating influences from alternative rock, industrial, and electronic dance music. As the album's opening track, "Zoo Station" introduces the band's new sound, delivering industrial-influenced percussion and several layers of distorted guitars and vocals. Similarly, the lyrics suggest the group's new intents and anticipations. The introduction, featuring an "explosion" of percussion and a descending glissando for a guitar hook, was meant to make the listener think the album was mistakenly not U2's latest record or that their music player was broken.

The song's lyrics were inspired by a surrealistic story about Berlin from World War II that lead vocalist Bono heard, when overnight bombing damaged the zoo and allowed animals to escape and wander around the city's rubble. Bono was also inspired by the city's Berlin Zoologischer Garten railway station and used it as a metaphor for a reuniting Germany. "Zoo Station" was performed as the opening song at every concert on U2's Zoo TV Tour. The song received positive reviews from critics, many of whom analysed the song as a representation of the band's reinvention.
