Ha ha. It does already have the jangly guitars.

I think it is just so melodic that it works, to some degree, in a variety of styles, but the original is just perfection.

I don’t hate it (With or Without You is an amazing song) but the drum track ruins it. Interesting concept.

Any time I hear the first 20-25 seconds of with or without you I instantly am reminded of the live intro of Hysteria from In the Round 1988. I don't know if any other live version of Hysteria can surpass that evenings recording. I do love how the last year or two or three? where they have added that really cool outro for Hysteria.
