What theory???

oh, there's two photos inside the discotheque single (the one in the jewel disc obvs, i only own the carboard slipcover one so i'm not sure how many versions of the single there are) that show one of larry, edge, and adam seated on a sofa. then there's a photo next to it showing bono (paul zomg!) seated on the floor, barefoot, with his head leaning towards the floor.

so there you go, paul is dead rumours some 30ish years later.

I love that whole WTAHNN shit.

I love the completely baseless, unfounded speculation.

Or how some random lyric is plucked from obscurity and turned into a song title that the media actually reports. Oh, the age in which we live!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Deafness and blindness really wouldn't work out too well! When I went to the doctor's on Thursday at the height of the deafness, it was a bit scary crossing streets. I doubt anybody has ever stepped so cautiously onto a street before!

yeah, then you'd be an old person!

ooh, this makes me think of a question. do your crosswalks make noise over there? here, in heavily populated areas where there's a lot of pedestrian traffic, the crosswalk either chirps or beeps, depending on which side you want to cross. it makes the noise when that particular crosswalk is okay to cross, for the vision impaired.

All singers named Paul die. My band's singer is next, isn't he?

I really, really hope those are all B-Sides. Everyone on there wants to crucify me for that--and they're idiots for it. Having those 4 as B-Sides means we've got 11 more songs to look forward to. Instead of just 7.

 

[Axver]

i don't remember my impressions totally anymore, but i think i liked the first one the best as well.

i'll feel a little better about the new album (i'm not being pessimistic, i'm just trying not to form an opinion) once the first single comes out.

The first one musically seemed pretty decent, from what you could tell. Please don't fuck it up with more lame lyrics, Bono.

I'm nervous about the first single. I hope it's not another Vertigo.

Yeah, pedestrian crossings protected by traffic lights make a buzzing or beeping sound to indicate it's safe to cross. That's not much use out in my corner of suburbia though, when I'm crossing relatively lowly trafficked suburban sidestreets with only 30 or so houses!

Why couldn't Gabe from Euphoriette be named Paul? He's a douchebag.

 

[the tourist]

Speaking of douchebags, where's that penis?

 

[Axver]

God, Sexy Boots would be one of the worst titles ever.

 

[the tourist]

God, Sexy Boots would be one of the worst titles ever.

I think Get On Yer Boots is bad for U2, too. It'd fit in with Oasis, though. And we all know U2 wants to be them. :coughsSTARINGATTHESUNcoughs:

Hah, I like this logic.

Though I'm not willing to say something's b-side quality just on the basis of beach clips.

By the sounds of it, he'll be dead soon anyway, the way he's blowing his life.

In a piano?

I am. Add those 4 beach clip B-Sides to the 3 previous beach clip B-Sides and we're looking at Joshua Tree amounts of B-Sides.

Then McGuinne$$ decides a bunch of dance remixes would do better in clubs and expose U2 to a broader audience, so the b-sides don't come out until the cashgrab remaster in 2028.

Which is exactly why U2 is not my favourite band anymore. But those remixes really appeal to washed up 37 year old women who go to clubs to drink and dance and try to pick up guys 12-15 years younger than them. "Oh wow! This is U2! And dancy! I'm so buying this album! It reminds me of all those cute guys who were so drunk they hit on me! What does cougar mean, though?"

I didn't know there was anybody who found the lame dance mixes of Vertigo and shit appealling.

McGuinne$$ needs to piss off. Sure, he suited U2 back at the start of their career, but he's still stuck in the late eighties and really doesn't have much of a clue at all any more.

I wish U2 was stuck in the 80s.

I wish U2 was stuck in the 80s.

Back when they made awesome albums and had b-sides and Bono's voice wasn't shit and they did the Lovetown Tour.

What a boatload of fuckyeah.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Ah, Baker's Delight, where would I be without you?

Not here, I'd say.

I miss Goldstein's from the Gold Coast.

Not here.

Why couldn't they have just quit after Lovetown?

Also, looks like we've about 45 posts to go on this thread, and I can only make 13 more of them. Bring on #66,666 and the last train to Satansville!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Andrew and Khan, we better post up, Ax only has 14 posts remaining for this thread!

I've been wondering if I'll fall short of 66,666 or get there too quickly. I'm more worried about the former. The latter, I can just bring out notAxver if I need to.

i don't know what to say!
