Edge plays a bum note at 0:19 into Things To Make And Do.
Actually, this might be untrue, it just sounds odd to me, and it's a different note to what's played in the rest of the chorus. Oh, and on the version of Vertigo on the DVD with HTDAAB, Edge nearly comes into the melodic bit on the second verse early, but quickly makes this mistake.
And I swore that beep in Surrender was a part of the song...

I believe the difference in Edge's guitar on the DVD version of Vertigo is intentional, it's a slightly different mix of the song.

I've noticed other differences in the DVD vertigo mix.
Mostly the "who's there?" rather than "o-pah!!" sung by Bono.

I have a feeling they say "Hola" (spanish for hello)
Actually, you're the kind of person I need to watch movie's with because I don't even notice what the names of the people are, let alone that there was a glass of liquid there.
Oh, and I listened to Surrender again last night, and I'm happy to say I DID hear the beep this time.
I think the first time I listened to it to check, I only listened up to about 20 seconds, then gave up. (Sad thing was that it was at 24 seconds
)
I also think I'm getting an ear infection, (probably from too much iPod-ing) so that probably didn't help.

Ok people, have they ever said that they are great musicians? I think not. isn't that why they started playing their own music in the 1st place. Yes, I hear the clearing of the throat on Shadows and Tall Tree and i do hear the coughing in Another Time another Place. On the UF song there is something said and I have heard it since the album came out. Lemon I do hear Larry or someone. Are you sure that MLK was shot at night. I mean ,Bono knows Loretta King, wouldn't she have said something to him or the world at that matter. I hope I got her name right. Also , in the UF video Bono says something to himself at the beginning.

Hurrah!
Though whoever posted the One Tree Hill story hasn't the faintest clue. Here's the proper story, you might want to include it on the site (credit me as André Axver):
One Tree Hill is named after the largest extinct volcano in and around the city of Auckland, New Zealand. In that city in 1984 on their first tour of New Zealand, U2 met Greg Carroll, a Maori (native New Zealander), and were so impressed by his dedicated work ethic that he was hired as a permanent member of U2's road crew. He quickly rose through the ranks of U2's organisation, became a good friend of the band, especially Bono, who he had the difficult task of looking after on stage - he can be seen in footage of Live Aid. In 1986, on a wet night in Dublin, Greg Carroll was riding Bono's motorbike and never returned. He was hit and killed by a drunk driver who had turned without signalling. Bono and Larry accompanied Greg's body back to New Zealand and Bono wrote One Tree Hill in tribute, intertwining Maori mythology and Christian beliefs (based on the Book of Revelation) in the lyrics. It has been said that the song was apparently recorded in a single take.

They also honored him in another way. The Joshua Tree was dedicated --
"To the Memory of Greg Carroll 1960-1986"

Elevation (7):
In Elevation where Bono wasn early sued for copyright over the lyrics
("Like a MOLE digging in a HOLE digging in a SOLE for a BOWL") by Stuart Prendegast, age 6,
who had written the structuarly similar "Lee Parker parked his car in a bum in a bar in a jam jar"
when he was five.

That's not my old site but the older version of it.
The old version was run by a guy called Thjis.
He didn't feel like he had the time to update nor running the site anymore since he got a baby.
Thank You:
Thjis van Thienen - For letting me create a new version of your old U2 Hidden messages site.
And for all of your support and suggestions!
