Let's send a collective prayer out to U2 during this last recording push

[zoopop]

I think I'm good.

I already sent them $50 to for a book (which I haven't received) and priority tickets for a tour that probably won't happen this year.

 

[U2DMfan]

Can we send an American Prayer?

That song already burns in hell, so it might not have the desired effect.

Looks more like Josh Spice.

It is a fabulous contestant from RuPaul's Drag Race, which is a seriously awesome show.

I just had a flashback to one of the 90s best 'guilty pleasure' movies.

I remember this one time at work when I found out that Jesus was going to be our new cleaning guy only to be massively disappointed when I discovered that it wasn't the same Jesus I was expecting.

are you sure he was not the one.

I'll just take your word on that one.

 

[Muldfeld]

I concur with the original poster's desire for an album that's true to who U2 really are, and not made from the stand point of commercial relevance. I hope for the best, too.

 

[corianderstem]

No really, it's hilarious. It pokes fun at a lot of reality show tropes.

Holy shit! That guy pulled off Posh quite well.

I sent two songs to Bono I wrote ( with the full rights) just to help him out

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

I sent over my entire collection of stories to be used as subjects for songs. Don't be surprised if the new album has a murderous theme and/or delves into places this band has never gone before.

Be careful. Bono might unleash Ru Paul's drag queen army on you.

I hope he starts with this:

however well intentioned this thread was.. you can be sure it'll be torn down by the cynics..

even the fans who love..

Such a badass moment!
Let's take a moment to honor true U2 greatness; they didn't need to sit around in a studio for YEARS to create this awesomeness!

This is by far one of my favorite R&H moments as well as one of my all time favorite live U2 moments.

I actually prefer this "Exit"...

Well, this is a big place...

Bono's cackling in the beginning ruins the sex appeal that the R&H version has. I like all the black & white lighting, the way Ad' dips in and out of the shadows...

*disappears into PLEBA and the safety net*

Although the Paris dvd as a whole is pretty effin' good. I loved hearing UF on that one.

 

[ElectricalVoice]

I'll pray for God to get the fuck out of their studio and let them work.

Yes, I'd rather invite McPhisto into the studio, would have a nastier impact on the music.

McPhisto = more likely to get "Daddy's gonna pay, Lemon" crazy (yet cool) sh**t
God = more likely to get "Crumbs", "White As Snow" etc .. which I'm more than happy to live without

 

[Musikwala]

i'd rather send out a collective swift kick in the ass.

This is by far the best post in this funny fanboyish thread. Those lazy, filthy rich sonsabitches deserve nothing more than a kick on their collective backsides.

I'll take the Fly as well. It'd be just what the music needs.

The former are amongst my least favourite U2 songs while White As Snow is one of my favourite ones, so I say for me the opposite please, nothing against a little God influence here or there.

 

[Zoo Lemon]

MacPhisto is busy dealing with business in Kiev.

Bring in Salman Rushdie.

So? Get him on Skype, then!

Good idea "I just clicked-to-call to say I love youuu"

I love that site where the pic is from; sometimes I spend a lot of time to read the transcripts of his phone calls.

I like this Exit. Because the audience have no idea what they just witnessed.

 

[gareth brown]

always loved that version, i used to have it on my old computer back in the day where downloading a video like that took ages and i watched it so many times...very weird to see it again complete with those Windows Movie Maker titles.

but anyway yeah that performance is so great. and that harmonica at the end, always loved that. wish it had been on the original.

it's a tired old thing to say but it's a shame U2 can't/won't do this sort of thing anymore. i'd love to see just the four of them, no loops/extras belting out some fucking great rock songs in a studio like on Jools Holland or something. fat chance but a guy can dream

Definitely. Great ending with the harmonica too. That song turned into a beast when played live. If I had the opportunity to pick one U2 song I could witness on a live show, it would be Exit.

 

[YBORCITY]

I just ordered 3 large pizza's, a side of garlic bread, 2 dozen wings and antipasto from L'antica to be delivered to the oil rig... this should keep Bono in the studio for awhile.
