Killing An Arab / Another

I like the "Killing everyone else in the world" from 1987 the best.

The answer's on that wiki page.

I did find this quite an odd thing to write


Tour? It was 2 concerts. In the same city.

In any case, that statement is wrong. They re-instated Arab in 2011 at the Reflections shows

There's no statement that I'm aware of although Robert was directly involved in asking US radio stations to stop playing it.
The sticker was more likely Elektra's doing & I suspect Robert wasn't best pleased at the time.
I also think it was the right move not to make a statement as it would have only shone a big spotlight on a complete non-issue.
That we, as fans, noticed the change in lyrics is one thing. To make a splurge in the NME or whatever music rag was around at the time would have just served to bring all the conspiracy whack jobs out from under their rocks to offer their "expert opinion" on something they genuinely knew sod all about.

Yep

I won't accept any other version than the original. I don't want them to be harassed but when they played it 3 days in a row at Wembly in 2016 it was amazing. Such energy.

One of the best newer versions.



that they need to start ending the show with ahem

disappoints me greatly the studio version is still not on streaming services, and that the band aren't playing it. i'm hoping they aren't trying to stave off any absurd "controversy" by not playing it
