Was just wondering, what, if any, are the u2/u2 related songs you have yet to hear. Am sure for every one that has heard all the offerings there will be one that hasnt. Can be a u2 song like womanfish or maybe a callaboration like Sweet Fire of Love or Slide Away, or maybe a u2 penned song for another like Shes a mystery to me
 
There's quite a few u2 songs I've yet to hear gman:
Levitate
Love You Like Mad
Smile
Flower Child
Beautiful Ghost / Introduction to Songs of Experience
Xanax and Wine
and unbelievably Mercy, I'm wary of listening to this song because its still unfinished in the bands eyes, but hopefully it'll be on the next album and I'll be put out of my misery.
 
Yeah that'd be great mate if you don't mind, I'm tempted by Mercy as everyone goes on about how great it is, but as I've waited this long for the official version I can wait a bit longer. :wink:
 
It worked gman :hyper:

How great is Flower Child :drool: and how weird is Beautiful Ghost?

Thankyou so much!!! :wave:
 
Gman :applaud: These are so good, its great hearing brand new u2 songs, well brand new for me anyway. I think my favourites Smile.

Mercy's looking mighty tempting right about now :reject:
 
I've never heard any EARLY SHOWS songs.. magic carpet, things to make and do, and things like that...
 
U2's holy grail to me would be a complete pro-shot dvd of an awesome Lovetown show.. preferably one that contains "bad"

Am assuming if you havent heard Sweet fire of love, then you havent heard Testimony either shart?

Yeah, you're right. In fact, I've never even heard of it.

Smile is great. I love that song. It makes me smile. LOLZ!!
 
It would be pretty cool to hear a u2 song I've never heard/heard of before, but I think for me it would be a really great rare performance to see, something like david said.

You don't wanna find their Holy Grail...it's guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of four fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave interferencers, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth...

Sweet Fire of Love and Testimony , ALSO.

I am risking a rant here, but except for Xanax and Wine, never heard any of these. Would it be possible to send me what I couldn't find online (and where would i find them)? Are any of these performances on Youtube? THANK YOU very much

There are links to those songs on the Music on the internet forum.

My new faves

Smile
Levitate
Love You Like Mad

I downloaded a whole lot of stuff I'd never heard and it's like having a whole new album to listen to!

:yes: My mp3 walkman is full of this stuff, rarities, alternative versions, rare live stuff, I haven't listend to a "proper" album in many months. I LOVE those unreleased songs, especially Smile. And Mercy does certainly have potential to be the holy grail for me. Someone made quite a good video to this song, it's on You Tube, I don't have the link now, but it's somewhere in a recent post in the You Tube thread.

And blm, just check out the Music on the internet forum, maybe this thread:

You can also request stuff. I would upload some stuff if I were at home, but I don't have access to my audio files at work.

Gav I should be able to forward the emails Gman sent me if you give me your'e address. At least I hope I can, I've never done it before.
 
There's supposed to be a studio version of the Wanderer with Bono on vocals (not the live CBS tribute version). That'd be one.

Another would be a new song from the pop tour that was written and practiced during a soundcheck. I heard there was a recording of it out there somewhere, but never heard it. It's called Badmotorcity something something.

Also I'm sure are recorded but never seen the light of day are:
The Sun The Moon & The Stars (Which was probably Windows In The Skies).
Northern Star
Bulldozer (either an early version of Elevation or Vertigo)
 
Back
Top Bottom
