Shuttlecock XIII - Super Deluxe Edition with T-Shirt

[Kieran McConville]

Geez, this poster must have been the worst, Jerry, the worst.

 

[kabigon]

Yeah, yeah I know. Interference would be good, but @U2 would be the same. But if we go to U2Start, it would be different, but it might not be as good. It's a gamble. I get it.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Not where I was going with that, although I've no doubt @u2 would be much, much worse.

I don't think of this forum as elite at all, but the new album section is just plain terrifying.

I've lurked there, and yes, yes they will. Also not the main concern.

Also, for crying out loud. Some of you won't post in the "other" section because we're that elite? There are some good folks over there.

Death threats and bannings? WTF did I miss?

The death threats were from 2 years ago, just got rehashed when folks sussed out the new troll was a new version of an old troll.

I should ask Bono for a salary.

The guy won't buy Leo a bologna sandwich, no way he pays you for your noble work.

What if I threaten to tell the tabloids about Leo? A little good ol' blackmail.

wait, Axver has a job?

I'm actually one of those Russian trolls paid to post pro-Putin shit online.

I'm just not very good at it.

Kite is U2s greatest song, you guys.

 

[namkcuR]

Hey, I genuinely have felt at times that it's the best track on ATYCLB. It's not U2's greatest track, but it's not like the thread was saying All Because Of You or Boots or something was their greatest track.

 

[BoMac]

The live version of Kite from Australia, minus that weird Cate Blanchett shout out, is absolutely phenomenal, in my opinion.

well yea i agree, it's probably the best song on atyclb. that still means there are dozens of songs ahead of it on the list.

It's still ludicrous. The song has passion and a nice lyric, but musically it's really not interesting in the slightest. Even One, which is the tamest song on AB, has a lot more going on in that department.

I didn't want to be a prick about it - this time - but I wouldn't even put Kite in the top 100 U2 songs, let alone best on ATYCLB (I'll take New York, Beautiful Day or even In A Little While any day).

 

[martha]

Kite bites. New York's even worse.

I'll take Kite over most of ATYCLB, but given the only great song from that era is The Ground Beneath Her Feet, that's not saying much.

 

[cobl04]

The fifth leg Vertigo Tour versions are up there with the band's best ever moments.

 

[mikal]

I like Kite a lot. Wish it had a stronger ending though.

I love "Kite".

I agree with martha that "New York" is bleh, though.

 

[Mack_Again]

New York is kinda alright. I don't hate it

 

[Kieran McConville]

New York has some bite to it, and it's one of the few songs from that period that do. I've always had a certain amount of time for it, although it's not lost on me that both it and In A Little While make everyone else's most-hated lists. It is what it is...

 

[lazarus]

I think the studio version of IALW is phenomenal; it's a shame that being overplayed live has led to an overall distaste for the song.

New York isn't as raw as it should be, and really improved in the live format. It's also weak for its showstopping place as the penultimate track. When I Look At The World should have more power to it as well, but fits much better in that spot as it did in the original pre-release track order.

 

[U2inUtah]

What was the original track order?
