My b-sides collection - which doesn't even include some of my favourite b-sides, just those from the early/mid eighties not on the Best Of B-sides - is my third favourite U2 disc, behind UF and JT.

Did you put unreleased stuff like Be There on that disc too? That song should have made an album. Put that after Surrender and make 40 more like the live version, War would be a classic.

You know everything when you're best friends

I wonder if she knows how on fire The Edge is on the next album!

 

[Screwtape2]

We can safely agree if U2 have a 50/50 chance of getting it right, 90% of the time they'll fuck it up royally.

To me it isn't about getting it right or wrong but rather writing great songs. Nothing from the last two albums are ranked very high in my mind. Larry is lost. Edge isn't painting and Bono needs to learn to write great lyrics again. What they need is a new producer. A modern day Brian Eno getting the most out the band lyrically and sonically. They need me in a year or two.

No, it's a collection of songs somebody uploaded in lossless a while back.

1. Out Of Control (U2:3 version)
2. Stories For Boys (U2:3 version)
3. Boy/Girl
4. Another Day
5. Twilight (b-side version)
6. 11 O'clock Tick Tock
7. Touch
8. Things To Make And Do
9. J. Swallow
10. A Celebration
11. Treasure
12. Boomerang I
13. Sixty Seconds In Kingdom Come
14. Boomerang II
15. Deep In The Heart
16. Race Against Time

As you can tell, it's (mostly) chronological order, but it's still fucking awesome.

And yeah, Be There should have been on War - a little more development and it would've been quite good. The exclusion of Treasure is criminal too. Throw out Red Light and put Treasure in that spot.

Edge isn't painting

That should be a good thing, although if he isn't playing guitar instead of painting we're in trubble.

Sweet insults for the win My favourite though is this one:

'While you were sleeping I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming when it came to mind that I didn't care" From 'Rest Stop' by Matchbox Twenty.

i LOVE that line. i really like matchbox 20.

It's what i'm calling the Kunstmuseum syndrome, if it's presented seriously damn near everyone will believe it.

i am so behind in this superthread

I've just eaten an ant-free creme egg and I feel my blood pressure is now dropping from my earlier issues with n00bie.

what were the n00b issues? i missed something i think.

Don't worry, we're going slow now

 

[Screwtape2]

Making a Desert Island playlist at the last minute is really hard. Even more so when you should be writing a poem for school.

I want to write something in the form of spoken word poetry. Like Walk To The Water or Luminous Times. Here comes a lovey-dovey poem. Delightful.

i fucking love Be There.

where did everyone go?

Soundscapes are the way to go, not bursting ear drums with ABOY's intro.

I'm being relatively productive

i'm still confused but i feel like it's not really worth knowing

I love it too. I would try to get that kind of pure emotion out of Bono if I was producing them. My main goal with Bono would be to give him a title and have him let out whatever he was thinking into the microphone. We need a modern day Be There.

 

[Axver]

Well, I need to go to the Royal Historical Society and uni. I'll see you folk in about 5-6 hours. Have a good one, everybody.

We buy those in school everyday, but we call them "Choco Vag's" because of reasons that are obvious when you look at it. Which leads to jokes about the "quality" of your vag when you open it. Good times. Immaturity FTW.

i prefer drumsticks

Just some guy who's convinced that someone in PLEBA has an exact schedule of when U2 will be in HQ.

And posted in three threads with the exact same questions.

Jamila does, but she's not sharing.

That would be Elvis Presley and America. We have no idea how Be There came about so far as I know.

yes but she has bugged all of their apartments, houses, cars, planes, and boxer shorts.

No, just Bono's. He appears to be the only one that exists in her world.
