Speculation, Yealmpton, Devon Superthread

[liamcool]

Aye, matey?

Actually, I haven't listened to October since mid-06.

 

[Alisaura]

Also, we are so damned good at being sardonic that it's kind of really scary.

It's a worry when that line starts to blur.

NASOTR precedes Please.

I keep SATS, as the original studio version is OK - it's the acoustic live version and Best Of version that I don't like.

Mofo comes after Discotheque. Gone closes. NASOTR --> Please --> WUDM --> Gone is all kinds of good.

NASOTR -> Please -> WUDM -> Gone would be real interesting, as would having Gone as a closer, but I'm not entirely sold on WUDM -> Gone. The other way round would work better for me.

 

[major_panic]

You mean... some of us actually like U2's music?!

 

[gump]

Shit, Edge bought the Titanic? Is Bono OK?

Is it big enough to fit his ego?

 

[bono_212]

[Alisaura]

Though I do like the mental image of Edge just abandoning these yachts all around the Mediterranean. Moving onto catamarans and cruise liners and things.

Maybe he's dumping all the boats Bono steals...

 

[Axver]

Is it big enough to fit his ego?

He might need an oil supertanker for that.

It'll be a tight fit too.

 

[Alisaura]

What about her eyes?

*checks* Nope, not so far. There are things in this DVD full of music I was given that I never suspected were in here, though...

 

[major_panic]

All right, I'm gonna head off to try and somehow sleep in this shocking weather.

 

[Alisaura]

I... I don't know.

I can't tell what's real any more!!

 

[Alisaura]

All right, I'm gonna head off to try and somehow sleep in this shocking weather.

Seeya! Good luck with that... I should give it a try soon, too.

I think WUDM and Gone work both ways, but Please --> WUDM is fantastic, so I won't break that. I really like the idea of Gone closing, ending the album with "I'm not coming doooowwwwnnn" and that screeching guitar. I also think the screeching guitar sounds quite evocative after the desperate climax of WUDM.

 

[Axver]

Have a good one, U-Wen!

I'm just glad my bedroom is a good few degrees cooler than outside.

Yeah, Please -> WUDM should not be broken. I never thought about Gone as a closer - maybe I should try that tonight.

 

[liamcool]

It's too damn hot today.

How much does it cost to bleach one's hair? I'm going for a Stipe 85 look.

 

[liamcool]

let's go out to dinner and see a movie

I think Domestos is about $5 a bottle...?

 

[Alisaura]

And man, there is a kid somewhere in this street who is NOT happy.

 

[bono_212]

Bah, I should go be productive.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, Please -> WUDM should not be broken. I never thought about Gone as a closer - maybe I should try that tonight.

I've been using Gone as a closer in custom setlists (usually closing main sets) for quite some time, but WUDM seems like such a natural Pop closer that it took me a while to even think to use Gone for that purpose on the album. But I actually think it sounds quite good. It also avoids the problem of trying to find somewhere for Gone to go on the album; I think its screeching guitar makes it a tough fit with a lot of the other tracks, especially if you choose to discard Miami.

For the record, I always use the Best Of Mix of Gone.

 

[liamcool]

You so do not bleach your hair with that stuff.

 

[Reggo]

Thanks for the tracks, axver. Listening now.

 

[liamcool]

Reggie!

 

[Reggo]

Liam!

 

[Axver]

Thanks for the tracks, axver. Listening now.

Not a problem, hope you enjoy. Do you have Flower Child?

 

[Reggo]

Oh, I could SO make a better HTDAAB than U2 did with all these extra tracks.

 

[liamcool]

You might know. What would I use to bleach my hair?

 

[Reggo]

I don't, nor do I have Mercy or half the rare tracks you guys were talking about last night. That's why I just sat back and watched you debate with traviud, cause I had no idea what you were talking about.
