OMG Carlos.

*comes back to tackle him*



*gone*

i just lol......


GG, I am everywhere.

 

[Axver]

Let's see:

Behind = Wild Honey
Bomb = Vertigo, ABOY, Man And A Woman
War = Red Light (at least)
Pop = I'd guess Playboy Mansion
Zooropa = Everything but Zooropa, Lemon, and Numb

*ponders teh other albums*

I could write an essay on this, so let's just go with the first three albums.

BOY
Shocking selection choices: Omission of 11 O'clock Tick Tock.
Shocking tracklisting: What the hell is The Ocean doing in #7?

OCTOBER
Shocking selection choices: Inclusion of Is That All? Scarlet would be a fine closer.
Shocking tracklisting: October AFTER rather than BEFORE Tomorrow? Really? And Scarlet's not the closer?

WAR
Shocking selection choices: Inclusion of Red Light, omission of Treasure and A Celebration.
Shocking tracklisting: Drowning Man between LAS and The Refugee.

I'm just updating the Superthread stats spreadsheet right now, and he's in the top forty Superthread posters!

(You, incidentally, are in the top 45. I'm part of the way through adding Shitlington Crags right now.)

Although, I wanted to be the top poster in that other thread.

 

[Axver]

you actually have all posts in a spreadsheet?

Khan made it! See here for one correct up to Mollie's Nipple: dizrythmia dot com

I've now found some online spreadsheeting software to allow me to update it.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Drowning Man

I am in love with this song right now.

 

[Galeongirl]

*shudder* you're right behind me now are ya?



anyway, I'll see ya guys later, gotta make meself some dinner

 

[Axver]

I have all of those, including Treasure, now, thanks to Ali.

Awesome.

I am led to believe that the stream of consciousness lyrics are at least loosely related to Ian Curtis, like A Day Without Me. Either way, I love the song. A lost gem.

nice!

 

[Axver]

I am in love with this song right now.

I've always loved it. But its placement on War is just ridiculous. It feels really out of place between two intense political rockers.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Bye sweetie.

331 U2 tracks are too much to keep track of, let alone the 2783 of everything else.

BOY : Had no idea 11 O'clock wasn't on there, only on UABRS. Fascinating.

October: I think perhaps I should put this one on random...

War: I concur, on all counts.

Have a good one!

Good point.
AX, did you see the Youtube video that someone created for this song? It's using clips from the movie "21 Grams". Very good.

It takes dedication and lack of a life to beat me.

Ooh, where?

No I haven't - though I'm not familiar with the movie either.

War = Red Light (at least)
Pop = I'd guess Playboy Mansion
Zooropa = Everything but Zooropa, Lemon, and Numb

*ponders teh other albums*

Boy = Shadows and Tall Trees, no 11OTT
October = Is That All?
War = Red Light, Female Vocals on Surrender
Unforgettable Fire = MLK as its own track, the lack of inclusion of numerous B-sides
Joshua Tree = TTYW when compared to some B-sides
RAH = The tracklisting; the live tracks chosen.
Achtung Baby = TTTYAATW, So Cruel
Zooropa = Only enough good songs for the originally intended EP
Pop = Finishing it early, IGWSHA, The Playboy Mansion
ATYCLB = Wild Honey, Peace on Earth, no TGBHF
HTDAAB = ABOY, Sometimes, no Electrical Storm, studio Yahweh, no Fast Cars

(I personally think October works really well after Tomorrow, but I've never tried it the other way round.)

*isn't here, srsly*

You may just be scared by how well I know U2's back catalogue then. (Who am I kidding; my setlist knowledge is more scary!)

The studio version of 11OTT isn't that remarkable anyway, but I've always thought Boy would have been fantastic with it inserted between The Electric Co. and Shadows And Tall Trees.

And heh, yeah, October is really just a collection of songs cobbled together rather than any kind of a cohesive album ...

 

[RedRocksU2]

It takes dedication and lack of a life to beat me.

I'm not even trying.


My take on being top poster, was to be 2nd to you

 

[Axver]

*isn't here, srsly*

OF COURSE YOU'RE LURKING!

October --> Tomorrow is simply stunning live. I'll have to burn you a bootleg of a show where they did that segue. It makes October --> NYD look like nothing.

I was a lurker for a while, it seems.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Ooh, where?

Just enter U2 "Drowning Man" and it should give you a few choices....it is very good, it def works.

 

[Reggo]

Acording to the postcount right now, I'm second to Ax! For this thread at least.

 

[RedRocksU2]

*isn't here, srsly*

Ha!

 

[Axver]

I'm not even trying.

Ha!

Khan thoroughly beat me on one recent thread, though! And, of course, there was Rough And Ready, CA, where I didn't post at all.

 

[Axver]

Acording to the postcount right now, I'm second to Ax! For this thread at least.

Ooh, now there's something you don't see every day. You're becoming a postwhore.

By the way, speaking of becoming a postwhore, I don't have you on the master list of purity scores! I'm pretty sure you took the test, though. Do you remember your score?

 

[RedRocksU2]

Khan beat you? srsly?...was it a Duran Duran thread?

 

[Reggo]

Can't find it, Carlos, either because Youtube's retarded or I am.

 

[RedRocksU2]

hang on
