beach clip 409 IS a strokes song

[U2Man]

Have you clowns ever thought that strokes song might be something they want to put out as a bside? Probably not

No name-calling, please.

Yeah, they're probably covering it, and it'll end up as a B-side.

Try reading the thread before you post something like you just did.

they weren't covering the song, albert was there that day and was
playing them some of his solo recordings when the band had a day off
during their tour last week.

can't believe some crazy fans were actually outside using spy gear to secretly record the sounds coming from the house... very creepy,
to say the least.

the song is actually called "in transit", and yes, albert's solo
album is due OCT. 9th, and will exclusively be released in the U.K.,
because that's the only place he has a record deal...
i'm sure it will be available for purchase elsewhere as an "import",
or through web stores...

the strokes
wiz kid mgmt.

It doesnt but I feel an undertone of people putting the band down for recording something that isnt their own, which is not unusual

 

[Lancemc]

Then why was Bono singing over the whole damn thing?

 

[U2dork]

Thank you Mr. Chiz-zip.


So, as I said before, it wasn't a cover.
And we're creepy.

 

[U2Man]

It sounds like Bono.

why the smiley face?

 

[t8thgr8]

what if ALL the songs heard are bsides to the new album

 

[Lancemc]

The vocal's on the beach clip and the actual Strokes track don't really sound alike. And the beach clip really sounds like Bono. So again, it begs the question... Does Bono also sing over songs people come play for him?

 

[U2dork]

Of course they don't sound alike! Albert's song that we have (I guess technically not the Strokes) was a demo and apparently he has re-worked it a bit was playing for the guys.

I would guess yes, Bono probably sings constantly.

Too bad it's not a U2 song but maybe this will be a great album we can all enjoy.

Is this guy really suprised people are taping outside of where a band like U2 are practicing.

It's not THAT creepy

 

[Zoots]

I knew it. redkat's been hangin' outside Bono's house with a tape recorder in hand.

 

[phillyfan26]

A tape recorder is now spy gear?

You're right with the first part, but there's no need to be rude with the second part.

I'm only suggesting that people read through the thread before they call other people 'clowns'

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

And we're creepy.

This part of the forum is a little creepy, I agree.

That scenario fits, because the strokes did a concert in Nice, France on the 18th and had a couple days off.

and Bono was at that concert

And as creeped out as the Strokes web guy is, he should probably keep in mind that this little incident created a HUGE amount of interest in the guy's new album, which a lot of us wouldn't have known about if it hadn't of happened... and they didn't even have to pay a dime...


and it was a digital camera wasn't it?

A pair of contacts could be "spy gear" I suppose.

Was just about to say the same thing. And he should be gratified at the overwhelmingly positive response the song got too!

only this part of the forum?

:cough: 40alters :cough:

 

[U2dork]

I agree about the reaction. It's catchy, even while being obscured by the sound of the ocean. I think that says a lot. I hope a US label picks him up soon.

 

[Salome]

I like The Strokes
but I also won't be rushing out to buy that album

Wow, the song sounds like crap when it's been amplified. Some horrid vocals there.

I agree. Bono singing the song would greatly improve it.

 

[Yahweh]

The other few tracks were better then that strokes one anyway

 

[LemonMelon]

I agree. Bono singing the song would greatly improve it.

And it would actually be something new and fresh coming from them. This sounds like the same ol' sucky Strokes to me. No skin off Bono's behind if he didn't write this formulaic crap.

Punk rock sounds so much better when U2 does it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Agreed. As Axver said in the other thread "It sounds like a jam session to me".

:cough: 40alters :cough:

That's creepier, I agree. I stand corrected.
