bono throws demo in bin

[gav6519]

just after reading in the daily mirror.

"i lost patience with one of the new songs and threw the demo straight in the bin with a load of pizza boxes. i have no idea where it is now.
Most of it has been brilliant but there were a couple of tracks we weren't sure about."

notice the past tense.

Wow, that could be worth some money...

It's probably crushed and in some landfill in Malahide about now.

Daily mirror is a tabloid right? How credible is that news, then?

 

[dsmith2904]

When was this in the Mirror? Do you have a link to the article you could share so I could possibly post this in News?

Thanks!!

You never know... some crazed fan camping outside Windmill Lane 24/7 could just go through the bins and find the ultimate U2 Bootleg!

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Hopefully they didn't just throw away a classic. They were going to throw 'Where the Streets Have No Name' in the "bin" as well at one point.

 

[forbonou2]

hmmh! i guess soem fan somewhere should try to save them-u never know-could turn out to be a hit-wouldn't they(U2) be surprized! lol Wonder if Bono does that alot?

Brian Eno was losing his hair (what was left of it) trying to get Edge's guitar track into the right sync with the rest of the song and it really did drive him mad! He said something like.

'My idea was to stage a sort of 'accident' that erased the tape, but I never did.'



A Late candidate for the 'Funny side of U2' Thread.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Yes, exactly. Pretty much amounts to the same thing. The song went to the great garbage dump in the sky, while 'Streets' was close to enduring similar fate. Thank God for the engineer who jumped on Eno and prevented it all from going down!

 

[gareth brown]

I prefer 'Great GIG in the Sky' when talking about Music. But each to his own...

 

[Michael Griffiths]

haha, yes, that works much better! Didn't Bono once come up with the greatest band in the world, I think consisting of John Lennon, Jesus Christ, Elvis, and a couple others? That would be a great gig.

That's what I was going to say

 

[Swan269]

tabloids carry a different meaning in Europe. But I do like the inference that the album is done.

You're my new favorite person.

Clare Torry's orgasmic screams popped into my head the instant I read that!

Bono keeps saying that U2 are the Biggest Band in the World.

I'm sorry but I can't agree with him one bit.

I doubt their new album's gonna create any waves.

you'll have one or two disagree with that in here!!!

And you know this because you've heard it? I'd save these bold statements until after you've heard their real "3rd masterpiece".

Their last album sold about 12 million, so you might want to rethink that position mayflower

I hope this new album is really their third masterpiece...
