[elevated_u2_fan]

This year's Fan Club gift has to be Achtung related right?
What's left to give us?

Correct information in a timely manner.

You can hear snippet from Garbage, NiN, Patti Smith, Snow Patrol, and The Killers from the AB cover album here: BBC - 6Music News - Q Magazine's U2 Special

 

[LuckyNumber7]

The small sample of Snow Patrol sounds like a train wreck.

Lets hope to be fooled.

 

[coach]

Wild Horses sounds really interesting!!!

 

[coach]

Patti smith's UTEOTW, wow.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Patti Smith's sounds meh... Nine Inch Nails sounds great... The Killers, although probably an exact duplicate... sounds pretty awesome.

But yeah, some of that is really making Damien Rice's One sound not so bad.

 

[mikal]

where are you hearing these samples?

edit - i forgot how to read. can anyone help me to learn to read again?

 

[trevgreg]

Not sure how I feel about the others, but UV sounds like it might be a solid one. Sorta the same, yes, but maybe that's a good thing in the end.

 

[chrissybaby]

I think this is going to be better than I ever dreamed it could be.

 

[Nick66]

I think this is going to be better than I ever dreamed it could be.

More like a nightmare, if these samples are any indication.

 

[trojanchick99]

WGTRYWH sounds like it will be great. UV sounds just like I thought it would, a straight up cover. Patti Smith's UTEOTW sounds intriguing.

 

[Swan269]

i would say it sounds interesting...so hard off of 6 second snips

 

[TheEdge25]

I was hoping this cover album would be more hard-hitting, but it sounds like the majority of it is going to be softer, more acoustic covers.

Loved what I heard from the Killers, although that's exactly what I expected. No complaining though, makes sense that my favorite song off the album will likely be my favorite cover.

Mysterious Ways though?

What the living hell was that? I hope that that's not what the whole song sounds like. "Reinvention" my ass.

 

[U2girl]

NIN, Killers and Damien Rice

Others, pass.

 

[blugel]

i wish q would announce plans to sell the magazine+cd to the world outside of the uk..

 

[pepokiss]

Snow Patrol, go F yourselves

 

[Pluspol]

Garbage - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses: ---> BBC - BBC 6 Music Programmes - Radcliffe and Maconie, Thursday - with Bill Nelson of Be-Bop Deluxe (2:25:55)

 

[topplehatU2]

Really want to hear the Patti Smith, NIN, and Killers covers.

Snow Patrol though...ouch...

Please Neil, put one of those "unboxing the Achtung Baby set" videos up on YouTube. Those always crack me up. It's almost like porn for music collectors.

 

[super fly guy]

Snow patrol,oh my god. That sounds tragic!

 

[super fly guy]

After a slow start,WGRYWH really takes off. i like.

 

[U2girl]

It's a grower.

 

[trojanchick99]

Just listened to WGTRYWH. Love. Shirley Manson's vocal is gorgeous on it.

 

[Purplereign]

^ . . . Shirley Manson is a stunning vocalist

 

[zoopop]

Just listened to WGTRYWH. Love. Shirley Manson's vocal is gorgeous on it.

What a awesome take on WGRYWH!! Really like it

 

[LUNEDEMINUIT]

I know it's only a few notes but i think Snow patrol has achieve the impossible,beating Mary J blige for worst U2 cover.

that's..that's...goodness.. it's horrible!!!
