The latter.
Would be interested to know from people here if they a) knew all the answers b) reckon they'd have been able to nail them on a TV quiz show?
.
edit: wait did you win a prize or something?

Also in the Hard Rock Cafe Kuala Lumpur. Some controversy there as to whether he grew two, or if one was a fake.
Worst thing to ever happen a headi guess it must be all cameras in general that make the hat look bad.
could you pick literally any topic you wanted?
Would have known everything except had to make an educated guess on WOWY and would have guessed correctly.
Or if the mullet splits time between the two, and has it's own plane seat when it flies from Dubai to Kuala Lumpur
if i was going on the show i'd pick something like "the alphabet" if you really can choose anything.
i’ll take catch the semen for $800
Popped in the Vertigo tour vid yesterday for old time's sake, and while I know this one is divisive, I'll still take it over Elevation in Boston.
A couple notes:
* it's pretty damned cool that we get both The Cry/Electric Co and An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart within the first five songs.
* I know they always bring it on Electric Co, but this version seems particularly ferocious? Bono quotes the "despite all my rage/I'm still just a rat in a cage" from the Pumpkins during the breakdown, but then starts shouting it again at the end, and it finishes with Bono collapsed next to a monitor, sweating and breathing heavily. I felt drained just watching it.
* This may be the least interesting version of Bullet, but it was cool to hear Edge do such a "clean" version of the normally dirty solo. Reminded me of Hendrix a little.
* Running to Stand Still: ok, not as memorable as the one from ZooTV but I love Bono on harp at the beginning and it still works really well with the Hallelujah section at the end. Besides, you can't really repeat the whole heroin addict musical theatre role playing again without it looking even tackier.
* Streets: people hate this version, right? I actually like Bono's wailing during the big explosion after the intro, seems to be singing some kind of African song. If you'd never seen it live before I guess you'd be annoyed at how he's messing with it, but I find it refreshing.
* Zoo Station: great visual presentation, was so nice to have this back in the set. I still laugh hard when Bono's singing the "alright, alright, alright" during the breakdown, starts to do the Nazi salute, pushes that arm down with the other and says "not alright!" The whole quasi-Dr. Strangelove thing plus the biker gang hat and the goose-stepping cracks me up in general
* The Fly: some are partial to the Elevation version, this one still rocks too.
* All Because of You: not a great song but again, it rocks. They bring it. Their most Who-like song.
Kind of peters out near the end; it's nice to have Original of the Species and it sounds fine but it really needs Edge on guitar and it never truly worked until those couple times they brought Terry Lawless out of his cave and let him play keys on stage while Edge did what he's supposed to. I love Yahweh on the album but it's boring acoustic and falls flat. And yes, it's good to have 40 on video again but they omitted Party Girl from the DVD which is lame.
Listening to TUF today on its birthday... Wire is so good. Hard to believe they wrote it, it's quite singular for their catalogue. Bono rapping, fire bass guitar as the most prominent instrument for most of the song... it's so good. This would rip if they brought it out live.
You get to see Adam playing a fair bit in this clip:
