I don't see the band wasting any time on
"Fire"

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

uh, its not april first, and im not catching on to this joke.

im sure this isnt true, it cant. it doesnt make any sense.

 

[U2Soar]

The 3 album Best Of contract is a reality. Now that their with Interscope - wasn?t it their farewell-parting gift / fulfilling any outstanding record contract obligations to Island Records? I?ve always thought that the next one would be the Best of 2000 ? 2010. Or the third one would be a Best of Live U2. Yet - if they went ahead with this project there?s a lot of great material to work with!

Out of Control
Electric Co.
11 O?Clock Tick Tock
Gloria
Tomorrow
Two Hearts Beat As One
A Sort Of Homecoming
Running To Stand Still
One Tree Hill or In God?s Country
Heartland
God Part ll (new version?)
The Fly
Zooropa (radio edit)
Lemon
MOFO (new version?)
Please
Elevation
Walk On
New Song?

best of's/greatest hits =

i know its not their fault, but greatest hit albums are beyond lame.

Being a long time brazilian fan, I subscribe several local U2 mailing lists. If these news were true it?s likely that we would have known already. Plus there?s nothing in Universal Brazil website, so I think it?s just a rumour. I wish I were wrong though.

Fuckin'A.

There's no way those songs in their entirity would make the cut....

It would be more like,

1) Out of Control
2) Gloria
3) Two Hearts Beat As One
4) MLK
5) Running to Stand Still
6) Bullet the Blue Sky
7) One Tree Hill
8) Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
9) Lemon
10) Please
11) Mofo
12) Walk On
13) Elevation

But we all know that would make a horrible compliation, so my guess is that there isn't a plan for a comprehensive 1980-2000 rest of the best package. It would be too uneven and loopy.

However, if their contract required a third Best of album I believe they'd opt for a Live: Greatest Hits, similar, yet more widespread to "Hasta La Vista: Live from Mexico City". It would be a fitting double album, full of their greatest hits, and a must have for all hardcore U2 fans.

have they forgotten their own words? "you glorify the past when the future dries up." no i'm not saying they're running out of ideas, but i'm saying they should focus more on making NEW songs, not new mixes of old songs. they've yet to make a good one (i'm going all the way back to the sweetest thing here) and i just wish they'd stop trying to be a U2 cover band. this album keeps getting delayed, and i'm sure that they keep making new mixes doesn't help.

Nicely put.

I wish they'd glorify the past further with a ZooTV Sydney DVD complete with more bells and whistles than we could ever imagine.

As long as they're procrastinating on the new record and all.
