Just a thought on the leftovers and B-sides theory. Don't most of us already have this stuff? I think it might make sense to do an oficial release of those tunes, especially the leftovers like Smile, Mercy, Love You Like Mad, for the mass audience. But won't a lot of us be disappointed?

Not really the subject, but why not ABOY. I think it has some of the most clever lyrics Bono's ever written and it rocks. Seems like an ok choice to me. OOTS would be a bolder choice, I think a better one too. After all, Hey Jude was one of The Beatles bigger singles.

I love this song and i wish it had found a place on the album. It seems like so many B-sides have a looser, more fun vibe than a lot of the album material - thinking Sweetest Thing, Salome, Holy Joe here- and I wish they would show that a little more. Also, AMAAW could never be unfairly...

Awesome song, but something does seem off in the arrangment, though I couldn't explain what. As much as I love it, I doubt it will ever be more than what it is. Its been so widely downloaded and talked about that I doubt the band would want to do more with it. Just curious... does anyone...

Yahweh! This so is suprisingly deep, and the live version gives it a new dimension. I think this is a good example of what Bono means when he says they oftentimes discover the songs when they play them live.

The Joshua Tree b-sides!!!! I burned them all to one disc and its one of my favorite U2 cds

Without getting into the whole "what if we release a terrorist who later blows something up" debate, which would take a day of typing and thinking to explain, I'd like to make a slightly off topic observation. How do you think history will judge these actions? If its true that those who win...

I'm really suprised by how many people now like Fast Cars better than Xanax & Wine. About a month ago, it was completely turned around and it seemed everyone was down on them for releasing Fast Cars instead of Xanax. For me, Xanax & Wine is a much better song, I think it would have been one of...

Yahweh- I don't know why exactly, maybe cause it leaves me wanting more. Wake Up Dead Man might have made it for me had it closed a better album

replyint to coem WTF was that? I'm laughing my ass off and I don't have any idea why Please clarify.

That's one county I sure as hell won't be speeding through! Does this make anyone else think of MY COUSIN VINNY?

I love rewriting history!! Its quite grand to live in a time such as ours, when we are so socially, culturally and scientifically advanced that we can judge the entire course of human history by our own, correct standards. Saying that Lincoln is gay is problematic at best. First, it assumes...

Ultraviolet would have been a great single. Not as good a song as some of the others, but a better single.

just finished downloading this for what its worth, I think Hoodlem is definitly on to something here. I don't know if we can ever have a definitive answer unless fake Edge drops in here, but it definitly sounds like a very early version of Walk On to me. Way to go Hoodlem. Your ear's way...

Mybe the next album will take longer than four years, since so many of the unfinished ideas they might have used are in the digital box set. I'm hopeful for 2006, though. I'm thinking that very soon they're going to start unloading a lot of albums pretty quick as they feel age starting to...
