Hai guize, remember shaun vox?



Then sooner or later he was whining that U2's rockers were crap.

I miss shaun vox!

And jick. He was hilarious.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

The solo was killer, until it never really came off live. Miley Cyrus can probably write better lyrics though

You take that back.

 

[Axver]

God I hate LAPOE, or more to the point, I hate how it leaves me in such a mixed mind that I have extreme trouble rating it. It's got some of U2's best music of the whole decade, but the lyrics make me cringe. Musically, it could be the best song on HTDAAB. Lyrically, Bono has rarely done worse.

Okay. Maybe The Corrs can write better lyrics

I was on ISDN, Holy shit. I don't know how I did it!

You will sometimes find jick on the @U2 forum.

Yeah, but that would require going to the @U2 forum. Interference is more than enough for this jaded U2 fan!

Here's a recent pearler.

With sales and lack of interest on NLOTH, plus they substandard quality of the songs - it is only fitting that it has been axed.

You think U2 can perform a song with "force quite, move to trash" or "Chinese stocks" in the lyrics with any conviction at all? I say good riddance.

Maybe they should let that Crazy Remix get the boot and bring back another nice song from HTDAAB or ATYCLB.

Cheers,

I'd love to hear it as an instrumental opening a show a la Stingray Guitar.

Mmm, I suppose.

Gee, Smile is a pretty nice tune.

Stingray is

I actually think it'll make a brilliant opener to their next rock album. But as I see it, it won't make an album, unless there's one released very soon.

 

[Axver]

HTDAAB remains mired in second-last in my U2 rankings (ATYCLB of course last). I think I'd currently rate the tracks:

Decent U2 Listening
1. Crumbs
2. AMAAW
3. OSC
4. COBL
5. LAPOE
6. Miracle Drug

Mediocre U2 Listening
7. Vertigo
8. All Because Of You

Dreadful U2 Listening
9. Yahweh
10. SYCMIOYO
11. OOTS OOTS OOTS OOTS OOTS

If Glastonbury ends of on SOA it could be the 'intro' to that...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

When you think Ax is finished he lets rip again.

THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING PERFECT.

Miracle Drug and LAPOE are songs for the ages. ESPECIALLY Miracle Drug. BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM.

OH WOW. I AM IN HEAVEN. I have gone incoherent, truly. It is physically impossible for me to talk right now.

I can see it working well, too, if they do a shortened version of it, but continue with giving Larry a drum. Have each of the band members turn up at a different point of the stage, lights go down, whack the drums and away they go.

 

[Axver]

Given how SOA is meant to be meditative, Glasto would be kind of weird on there ...

I'm off to bed. G'night peoples!

As a completely random aside, I've started writing it YHWH.

 

[Axver]

Man, it's funny how quickly Miracle Drug dropped off. I actually noted this at the time, probably within a month of the album being released. As you can tell, I loved it instantly, and then it just ... completely disappeared.

It was like Magnificent this time for a lot of people (including me), just even more severely.

Shows how much I know. Actually haven't read a single thread on SOA.

Night Char!

This sounds like a good idea. I'll be off in a couple of minutes, too, I think.

 

[major_panic]

Don't bother. According to some people a while back, it's meant to be out already, or something.

 

[Axver]

For all of Bono's talk about 3 albums of different styles, I bet everything just ends up on the one confused album and there is a goldmine of unreleased classics.

And yeah, should sleep too ...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Very much so, still excited for whatever will come next. NLOTH has proven awesome music can be produced by U2, as well as the 3 new songs + Soon. And the Crazy remix.

I'm off to bed. G'night peoples!

Haha! I barely visit EYKIW. Usually just here, B&C, Sports Forum and the Tour forum.

It's still in the mix.

Downloading a torrent of last nights game, and its stuck at 97% cause the original seeder hasn't finished uploading it yet. So much for an early night!
