The Edge 102 eh? I wonder if Alan Cross could weigh in..

 

[gvox]

You guys tuning in to Toronto radio!

 

[bonocomet]

So what's the deal then, eh?

 

[Registered Dude]

I asked Alan Cross on twitter

First off, is Bono even here? I usually know these things..

 

[gvox]

You and prolly a few others!

Sorry U2, somebody else has you beat in the quest for the "perfect pop song".

PSY - GANGNAM STYLE (강남스타일) M/V - YouTube

U2 released one of the wil.i.am sessions songs.

It sounds a little like this:

The Script - Hall of Fame ft. will.i.am - YouTube

 

[dan_smee]

Highly unlikely, but if it's true - man that would be a great sign for U2 to do that! Debut a new song on radio as a surpsie??? Gold

So the radio station just wanted to see how many re-tweets it would get or just some fuckhead fan/listener decided to make that shit up or what? I can't follow that crap.

 

[gvox]

I doubt The Edge officially sanctioned this. The station, that is.

U2's The Edge? Probably behind it. Fuckin liars!11!!1

 

[Niceman]

John - not Paul. Please don't let him be Paul.

If U2 start playing Paul's childrens music garbage I am quitting.

Have you heard American Prayer?

 

[dan_smee]

Have you heard American Prayer?

Wasn't aware it was a U2 song... Wasn't it Bono on an awareness tour of America?

 

[Niceman]

Wasn't aware it was a U2 song... Wasn't it Bono on an awareness tour of America?

Fair enough, but it is Bono creating some true crap to rival anything Paul has done....

 

[corianderstem]

never mind.

Is Edge not mentioned in the credits ? Truly a Bono solo tune ?

What credits? It was played live twice. First time definitely bono on guitar and bono sounding writing

 

[The_acrobat]

The question is, which version is worse?

Bono- American Prayer (From The Heart Of America Promo Tour With The Wheaton College Choir) - YouTube

U2 - American Prayer - At 46664 Concert for Mandela - YouTube

 

[gvox]

I refuse to listen to either of those again to render an opinion.

Songwriting credits. I assumed Edge was involved but Thewanderer.org says it's Bono's and David Stewart's song.
