A great rocker, and it has one of the best outros of any U2 song. Too bad the production is very harsh on Bomb as a whole, or I would listen to it more.

I have to agree about the production. The highs get so sharp and piercing!

I love some of the lyrics on this track!

Which ones in particular? :)

It's my second-favorite on the album after "Miracle Drug". Love it.

an absolute killer live, with Edge's best guitar solo.

Was just listening to that album today. Great song. Every time I go back to that album it's really good. I loved it from day one and it still holds up to the test of time and Crumbs is up there as a favorite on the album.

Performed for the last time in my city, Omaha, at a show for which I was unfortunately unable to purchase tickets!

I was at that Omaha show. Awesome night in an awesome city! And Crumbs rocked.

I actually asked Bono to play this song in NY when I met him.  Being Bono, his answer was a piece of convoluted nonsense, to which I replied - "what the **** has that got to do with Crumbs From Your Table?" to which he just laughed.

i think it's one of the best on the album and criminally under-rated on these boards. i don't think htdaab is as much of a stinker as many here would suggest. i'm not a huge fan of it but there are only a few dodgy tunes on it, ie all because of you, yaweh and original of the species (which is u2 just trying too hard to score a hit). the rest range from ok to great imo. crumbs is one of bono's better lyrical contributions on the album too.
