[FAKE] 30 second clip of No line on the horizon?

[rathergoblind]

I agree with people talking about no vocals. Without them it is not definitive. I could be wrong (and hope) but I think they took a vocaless riff knowing it is going to fool a lot of people. I think the fact he is trying for subscribers too makes you have to question it.

 

[Irvine511]

that has to be Edge. no one else plays like that.

i bet this is taken from the closing minute or so of the song NLOTH.

but if it's fake, i won't be surprised either.

 

[cdirani]

Well, finally got to hear it...my main computer has a sound issue, so...

I cannot be 100% (nothing in life, based just in clues can be) positive, but based on the drum fills...IT HAS TO BE U2. And it ROCKS like never before! If you check the U2.com video "Father Brian Eno", it's sounds like...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Shart and Art are gonna have some explaining to do if we find out this is real

Yeah I reckon. They keep on going on about how it's not real

It's real to me, and it sounds innovative.

Another musician here who VERY much believes that this is U2.

 

[nesquick]

I'm not 100% sure anymore. It sounds like Ground beneath her feet mixed with the HQ clip.

you're right! it's a fake! different parts of the GBHFeet solo mixed one ton up! excuse my french.....

 

[elevation]

Yeah I reckon. They keep on going on about how it's not real :blabla:

It's real to me, and it sounds innovative.

Where's the innovative part?

 

[rathergoblind]

Like mentioned before... we should know soon enough if it gets taken down. I would say if it is up longer than a half hour from now it is probably fake. If it is down.... he's legit.

 

[Aardvark747]

Where's the innovative part?

ditto

 

[BoyOnTheHorizon]

Hey, i think it's too damn close to Edge's solo for Love is Blindness live... i'll hear it again and come back here soon...

 

[purpleoscar]

If it's fake it's the best youtube fakery I've heard so far and there have been many.

 

[digitize]

If this is Magnificent, I will claw my eyes out.

 

[quadcaster]

I'm a guitarist and i take it very seriously, playing and recording with bands etc...

and as much as it sounds like it could be edge, its more then likely not.

Dont get me wrong, it sounds absoultly fing amazing! if its U2 ill be extatic! but i just dont know if it is...

 

[Sweepingsound]

30 seconds with no vocals? Not unheard of for U2, but sorta odd. Didn't Eno day that the songs were very vocal driven?

It's not impossible or even that hard to get guitars to sound like the Edge.

 

[MMP]

I sounds weird to me that someone would have the work to catch another U2 song (cause this is definitely Edge) and change it just to fool us (cause I doubt that anyone outside Interference gives a damn about this.)

You got one who thinks it's not....me

 

[beLIEve_ZOO121]

This clip makes no sense in comparison to what we have heard from the u2.com and beach clips. There is a certain style to the playing that makes me think that this (if it is even U2 to begin with) would have come from HTDAAB... This could just as well be Coldplay tbh.

 

[Niceman]

I think its real. I think it rocks, but I don't hear anything innovative in these 30 seconds....

 

[lew07]

This might be U2 but it sounds like studio work/outtake of sort. The bass is too poppy to be mastered or mixed down.

agreed. It has a 'Native Son' demo-ish sound to it. no big deal imo

 

[dan_smee]

It would fit with the overall theme of a darker, more achtung baby U2, fused with edges modern sound, and their overall cleaness.

Like I said before, if its not U2, I have a brand new second favourite band.

 

[Swan269]

If this is Magnificent, I will claw my eyes out.

wouldn't it be better to cut off your ears?

 

[dan_smee]

If this is Magnificent, I will claw my eyes out.

different key. don't worry

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

What does he says about the drums???

Funny you ask because he's actually a drummer but I asked him and he said "Larry has a certain feel (whatever that means!) and style and that's what I hear in that clip"
Anyway, he said if it's not them, they'd be great in a U2 tribute!

 

[Rainy Days]

While it's not exactly U2 by numbers, it's pretty close, and if the band were to "accidentally" let a 30 second clip(which they would have to do in order for this to be out there) leak I would think it would be something a little more experimental.

Surprisingly, I totally agree with you!!!!!

 

[U2Fan101]

This clip makes no sense in comparison to what we have heard from the u2.com and beach clips. There is a certain style to the playing that makes me think that this (if it is even U2 to begin with) would have come from HTDAAB...

Agreed. It doesn't have that 'innovativeness' that we have heard on the clips on the beach clips.

 

[Screwtape2]

Like mentioned before... we should know soon enough if it gets taken down. I would say if it is up longer than a half hour from now it is probably fake. If it is down.... he's legit.

Maybe not. If it is in fact real, it could be an intentional leak by the band. Think about it, you get interest from tons of people on U2 fansites and Youtube who will most likely listen when it debuts.

 

[shart1780]

There's no ambience or innovation. It's as straightforward rock as anything U2 have done. NLOTH isn't supposed to sound like that.

This is as fake as my neighbor's fake breasts. Nice for a short romp but ultimately unsatisfying.

 

[cdirani]

If it's not U2, who's this fooooking cool sounding band? I fancy the album!

 

[one4u2]

119 in the thread, and rising

Seriously I posted on the first page left for a bit came back and now 15 pages for a 30 second clip!

 

[BoyOnTheHorizon]

Hey, i think it's too damn close to Edge's solo for Love is Blindness live... i'll hear it again and come back here soon...

Could someone listen to Love is blindness live and share some thoughts????
