For Fuc#s sake, your gonna try and tell me that the finished versions of these songs were on The Best Of 1990-2000. I have never heard such shit in all my life. ALL the original versions were far superior on the Pop album. How the fuc# anyone can say that the best of version of Staring At The Sun (yeah remember that, what an abortion of a mix that was) was on the best of is beyond me. Last Night On Earth was just a shortened version on the single with a different mid section vocal not as good as the original Pop version also. Please was also ruined on the single, even though it was a decent single version, it just took out all the excellent rawness of the original! The original Pop version sounded like 4 guys in a room playing, without some twat coming along and ruining it with keyboards. If god will send his angels was maybe better on the single but this is only a minor difference. So to say the later versions of these songs is talking out of yer arse and no mistake. Next you will be telling me that the version of Numb on the Best Of is better than the Zooropa version, well if you say that then I WILL KNOW your just taking the piss!
To finish, I couldn't give a fuc# about Mullen & Bono spouting on that Pop was unfinished. Only cos it never sold in there beloved USA is the reason they spout such shit!
