9 minutes of new U2 posted on U2exit!!!!

[bcrt2000]

and i think that song 4 is the same as the other video clip that was released a couple of days ago

Yeah, I was referring to that one. it fits in perfectly musically.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

OK, so it's Beatles, Bon Jovi, or Christian soft rock. I love this place.

Don't forget Kelly Clarkson


And I just took off my headphones and put them up, but I think I'm gonna have to get them back up and listen through these again. I may try expanding on bcrt's transcriptions.

 

[DignityPassesBy]

nope i think that chorus goes for song 3 goes something like this now

all my life i've been waiting for
hope and love (something)
and all my life i've been waiting for
this movement of you

 

[bono_212]

So that means they've played song four more than once... rehearsing it?!??!

 

[DignityPassesBy]

i think when i look at the world really fits in with these songs and i love that song easily one of the best of atyclb

 

[LMP]

Don't forget Kelly Clarkson

NAHHHHHHHH, KELLY CLARKSON!

 

[bono_212]

Ahh so many great things in this thread...

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Song 1:
-----------

Oh my life (inaudible) was walking in my hope
And I want to tell you what I wanted most
All the walking out, the leaving out, I know
I'll be (inaudible) in the places (inaudible) you are
I'll be leaving you, you leave (inaudible)
Give me love tonight, bleeding in the night
And I.... always want to fight


I think that's as close as I'm gonna get on that one. It smells a bit Achtung Baby to me though. At least it seems to more about a strained relationship between a man and a woman, than about God.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Definitely sounds like more of the same to me.

 

[Lila64]

it's taken me all night to get thru 17 pages
Have played the clips over and over, happily. Liking 1 & 3.
My first summer beach clip experience

 

[bono_212]

I have a feeling 2 is not going to be a favorite for long

 

[Lila64]

well, if every other word wasn't thank you

oh, and you have a PM

 

[Irishteen]

OMG!!!!!!!

New U2

This songs are so and Edge's solo, sounds so different for Edge reminds me of the Blues. Maybe this is the solo Bono was talking about in Rattle and Hum before they cut to that other solo in Silver and Gold

 

[bcrt2000]

He might actually be saying "in the night we saw the sun" the second time in song 2

 

[chrissybaby]

this is definitely leaked on purpose. as if Bono thinks that no one will be listening/taping! good on him.

 

[KUEFC09U2]

what the hell does this band have to do to please some people? its constantly the same people complaining about the same thing over and over, about how THEY dont like the style U2 have taken too, whos to say that the isnt the music the BAND themselves want to make?

and this is just after hearing samples of POSSIBLE songs, god help they when/if they do release and album/single

 

[Salome]

it's fairly simple: apparently if the band doesn't make the music some people want them to make this means that U2 is not making the music the band wants to make but are selling out to Britney Spears fans

doesn't stop me from enjoying these 9 minutes of U2 very much
I'd even say it sounds extremely promising (more so every time I listen to it)

On a similar note, what does this forum have to post to please you?

oh come on axver you really get enjoyment seeing the same people post the same critisisims time after time? seemingly just to get a rise out of people? ye maybe i am in the wrong for trying to defend the band all the time, but thats just me, also my post is pretty similar to one you posted earlier on in the thread, so whats the problem?

I get sick of the same people posting the same boring nonsense, which is why I slagged off shaun vox and ponkine for posting what they always say.

But if people don't like it and can actually express it properly rather than just reeling off the same tired lines, I'm cool with that. My posts about "it sounds like the Be atles, Bon Jovi, and Christian soft rock" are my amusement that different people here could hear the same song as sounding like three totally separate things.

And U2 don't need to please anyone here. If U2 are making the music they want to make, who gives a shit if some people here hate it?

 

[waynetravis]

that part on song#2 at about 3.28 - 3.38

i've heard that before

fair point

 

[jimjam]

I'm probably the only one, but does anyone else get a SYCMIOYO vibe during the solo in song 1, I love the first song btw, one of the better U2 songs I have heard

 

[shaun vox]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS???


WHAT THE FUCK!!!

 

[ishkash]

I realized a long time ago that U2 will never again make music like my favourite band. These clips confirm that, why the hell they do what they want to do?

 

[BVS]

why the hell they do what they want to do?

 

[AussieU2fanman]

Best.Post.Ever

I was pissing myself laughing and I can't explain why this is so damn funny.

 

[ishkash]

Aren't they supposed to listen to us, the fans, comply with our wishes, suffice our cravings, take our opinions on which music direction to take? Least they can do is make an effort. After all I am fan

People wanted U2 to go in a new direction... these 4 songs *do* represent a new direction. I'm sure people who hated X&Y won't appreciate this album though.

 

[Axver]

I'm sure people who hated X&Y won't appreciate this album though.

OK, now this new stuff sounds like the Beatles, Bon Jovi, Christian soft rock, and will be X&Y Part II.

If I were a comedian, I'd just read Interference to get my material.
