If you could undo one u2 "mistake"?

[corianderstem]

It's only worthwhile for me for the two versions of Electrical Storm, The Hands That Built America, and North and South of the River.

Those are the only tracks on either disc I ever listen to.

 

[U2Man]

yeah, those and then lady with the spinning head and salomé. but srsly, this could have been so much better. they even ruined some of the tracks with their "new mix" versions

 

[corianderstem]

I'm with you. I don't like any of the "new mix" versions. None of 'em.

I can take or leave Salome, but I did leave Lady With the Spinning Head off my list in my previous post. I do love that song.

 

[Diemen]

I really like the new mix of Gone, actually, but dislike the rest. And then there's Numb, which is different but in such small ways that I wonder why they put the effort into it.

 

[U2Man]

i think the crappiness of the "new mix" versions shows that:

1) more time on the band's hands would not have made pop any better.

2) u2 should not try to rework pop.

however, the single versions of please and igwsha were actually better.

The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. Really people, what were U2 thinking?

Letting Bono be the lead singer.

The "Best of 1990-2000" corrects perhaps the worst moment in U2 musical history. It removes the terrible & cheestastic "Boom-Cha" outro from "Discotheque."

The Gone New Mix shits all over the Pop version

 

[phillyfan26]

The Gone mix was the one bright side of the new mix sessions.

What's so cheesy about Boom Cha??? Why do people keep going on about this? It's not like they went "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah" to end the song!... oh wait..

and its not THAT much better.

Somebody should make a Vertigo (new mix) with the "cheesetastic" yeah yeah ending removed.

 

[u2trinity]

"Boom-Cha"

The Gone New Mix shits all over the Pop version

That's a glorious silence, compared with the horrific, abortion of a musical phrase that is "Boom-Cha."

And the new mix of "Gone" doesn't have the guitar solo, Edge's best moment on the mediocre "Pop" record. There's shitting going on, but the reverse of what you said.

 

[U2Man]

qft.

i dont despise anything on htdaab, but vertigo is totally native son made cheesy.



Yeah its on the street
It's under your feet
It's everywhere
But if you're looking for free
Don't look at me
My enemy became my country

On the run, officer put down the gun
Native son, I never wanted to own one
Native son, both of us want to be someone
It's so hard, is it so hard for a native son
To be free?

Tears fallen from the sky
Fallen to the ground
Bullets start to fly
He's hurt, he's in the dirt
On my word
I did not take his life

Don't want to run away
This isn't in my father's plans
I know I can't stay
If I stay I know what's next

On the run, officer put down the gun
Native son, I never wanted to own one
Native son, all of us want to be someone
It's so hard, is it so hard for a native son
To be free?
Free

Yeah yeah yea-yeah
Yeah yeah yea-yea-yeah
Yeah yeah yea-yea-yea-yeah

Free
On the run, officer put down the gun
Native son, I never wanted to own one
Native son, both of us want to be someone
It's so hard, is it so hard for a native son
To be free?
Free
Free
Yeah

hello, hello
i'm at a place called vertigo

I love the boom-chas. Silly? Yes. Terrible? HARDLY.

Removing the boom-chas from Discotheque is like removing the contact from a full contact lap dance.

Without one, the other is rendered soulless.

 

[kingofsorrow]

u2 needs to get rid off those fans who can't stand hearing complaints about the band. it's called a difference of opinion. get over yourselves.

 

[coolian2]

Native Son would not have rocked as much live as Vertigo


Fucken Hello Hello

u2 needs to get rid off those fans who can't stand hearing complaints about the band. it's called a difference of opinion. get over yourselves.

Apart from the first three tracks i can't stand War.

Now i can go back to liking stuff other people don't.

 

[coolian2]

Oh, also. Why do i cringe when i think of Lovetown?

No.

It's like removing a cancerous tumor from a newborn baby's body. Hope, life, and passion live on.

And the black, decaying, evil tumor is disected and studied in the hopes of preventing such things in the future.
