Steve Lillywhite on "No Line..."

[Zooropa man]

I found this and I find it very interesting months after the release. I'm sure it has been posted somewhere but here it is...

Steve Lillywhite On U2's 'No Line' : NPR

 

[Niceman]

Enjoying it!

There's an unused JT version of WOWY that they almost used - the Brian Eno one - as opposed to the Lillywhite one that we have!!!

i think he did a very good job on BREATHE. but generally i think he is one of the main factors for overproducing. U2 should give him the boot.

Oddly enough, most of the hardcore Dave Matthews Band fanbase think Lillywhite is god, as he produced DMB's "Big 3" as they're called. They have a point - DMB's albums have sounded worse, in terms of production standpoint alone, since he was ousted, and the fanbase wants him back.

What exactly does DMB consider their big 3? Under the Table, Crash, and ???

 

[BVS]

I would guess 'Before These Crowded Streets'.

 

[mikal]

Absolutely repulsed!

I would guess 'Before These Crowded Streets'.

Yes.

I'm not a fan of what Lillywhite's done with Shuttlecock in recent years either, but in my opinion he produced the best thing that Morrissey's ever done post-Smiths, Vauxhall & I.
