"Bullet the Blue Sky" is a song by rock band U2. It is the fourth track from their 1987 album, ''The Joshua Tree''. "Bullet the Blue Sky" is one of the band's most overtly political songs, with live performances often being heavily critical of political conflicts and violence. It is U2's 7th-most-played live song with almost 650 live appearances. The song has been featured in promos for the seventh and final season of ''Sons of Anarchy''. The song was covered by Sepultura in their covers album ''Revolusongs'' and by P.O.D. in their album ''The Fundamental Elements of Southtown''. ==History== The song was originally written about the United States' military intervention during the 1980s in the Salvadoran Civil War. Bono told the Edge to "put El Salvador through an amplifier".〔"U2" episode of VH1's Legends.〕 The song is a combination of the Edge's guitar slides, Adam Clayton's bassline, Larry Mullen, Jr.'s drumming and Bono's vocals during the verses, and a spoken word section during the bridge.〔Bono, On ''60 Minutes'' in November 2005.〕 Bono was thinking of American President Ronald Reagan as he sang "This guy comes up to me / His face red like a rose on a thorn bush / Like all the colours of a royal flush / And he's peeling off those dollar bills / Slapping them down / 100! / 200!"〔Bono, November 2006 in an HBO interview.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bullet the Blue Sky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
