'Oh, Can't You See...'

Yep CD2 is the cd for me.

Does anyone else remember the time when U2's single covers didn't suck?

I'm afraid I wasn't born at that time....

ok I was alive during Achtung Baby, and actually like the four covers of that one..... but this one really sucks, just like the video and another great song screwed with crap marketing!

 

[alanah]

Yep CD2 is the cd for me.

Me too.

 

[tuwie]

I just really want that Kite =)

 

[silvrlvr]

Notice part 2 has a red cover....I wonder if it will count as a Red product.

 

[phillyfan26]

This is actually worse than the single covers with just pictures of the bands and a bunch of /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////.

 

[redhotswami]

I kinda like the phallic title.

 

[Pero]

a tragedy.
u2 thinks they made something for fans and not for casual listeners. releasing two of most unexpected songs from last tour is not that big thing. do it few more times and we'll talk.
as for the cover....no words

 

[Galeongirl]

ok the dvd info is incorrect

Window in the Skies (Pal Eng)


I scrolled down a bit

Actors: U2
Format: Import, NTSC
Language: German
Region: Unknown. Read more about region encoding and how it may affect you here.



So since when did U2 become fluent in German, and what is it, PAL or NTSC?

 

[thelaj]

I like the cover.

 

[RavenBlue]

CD 2


I like the cover as well. Nice and simple.

 

[CTU2fan]

I just want Kite...

 

[adrball]

I just want Kite...

 

[Justin24]

What is so good about Kite on the Australian leg of the tour?

 

[U2Man]

lame cover

also, wtf isnt the wits video included on one of the disks instead of that saints piece of crap?

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I want all 3 songs on CD2. Even the single version of WITS is much better than the album version. Once I get this, I'll never play the album take again.

 

[The_acrobat]

Who gives a shit about the cover? I think given the fact that U2 have no new original songs for b-sides, and that this is not part of a major album campaign, that the content of these singles is pretty good.

check it out on YouTube.

Edge plays a new solo at the end that's, like, celestial ...

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

What solo???? What version????

 

[U2girl]

I'll look out for the DVD single. Has all the 2006 U2 songs on it.

I think CD 2 live songs will be in the IMAX movie anyway.

 

[Westport]

Not a big fan of the cover either but I'm wondering whether or not having the words form/symbolize a Christian cross was done intentionally (though upside down).

 

[Irvine511]

What solo???? What version????

listen at the end.

 

[silvrlvr]

Actually it looks a little like a cigarette in an ashtray...

 

[J_NP]

What is so good about Kite on the Australian leg of the tour?

Revamped version , big new solo at the end

Elevation versions are jokes compared with Vertigo versions

 

[LyricalDrug]

I just want that new WITS video on the DVD single...

 

[Galeongirl]

I want all 3 songs on CD2. Even the single version of WITS is much better than the album version. Once I get this, I'll never play the album take again.

Agreed! I'm not playing the album version anyway, cause the single version is much better... and doesn't have a puking Bono in it


CD2 for me it is.... I laready have the Cohen song, so why would I need that again, official or not?
