I agree with you guys on new mixes. To me, it should only be mixes that were created between 96-98 or new remixes created from unused recorded tracks during that time period. A lot of the singles mixes are better and I think more representative of the band's vision than the album versions. I...

Hahah, I'm just hoping Edge can put together some of the single versions of tracks and remixes and a few final overdubs and call it a day! (Maybe not tell Larry until it's released...)

I'm all for JT30, but it'll also be the 20th Anniversary of Pop. Not saying they have to do anything special, but wouldn't mind a super deluxe box set like Achtung. I noticed Trent Reznor is doing a "definitive" edition of his back catalogue in vinyl format, which basically fixing blemishes in...

If so, I'd like to grab them from you. And of course, I would wish good karma to you in return!:hyper:

I like to see U2 work with the Flaming Lips' Dave Fridmann. All of their records sound amazing, adventurous and different. For instance: YouTube - The Flaming Lips The WAND

This is a great discussion with a lot of excellent points. I have to say I also fall into the "frustrated" camp, but reading this thread has helped me focus my feelings down to one point: I don't feel like the band has a REAL relationship with its FANS. In fact, I think it's straight up divorced...

That's precisely my point. Do all the crowd pleasers at the big shows for the casual fans, then do some really cool small shows for the diehards who want more obscure stuff. Just because a show is small, doesn't mean it can't be extraordinary. 500 diehard fans losing their minds can, in ways, be...

Hi all, I think the band should consider doing smaller shows for, say, U2.com members, in addition to big shows for the general population. Here's why... While I was watching the band in D.C., it became obvious to me why they chose to stick with the hits for the majority of their set. When...

Just curious if anybody else has not received their tickets to this show yet? I ordered mine way back when and have still haven't gotten them. I have called Ticketmaster numerous times and each time they say that I should only be concerned if I still haven't gotten them ten days in advance...

Pitchfork: TV

You make a valid point about the tracking order and the length of the songs. And White as Snow and Cedars do come from an experimental place. The whole album does, seeing as they started the whole thing in Fez. So, you're definitely right in this regard. I don't think they're trying to...

By emulating Radiohead, I meant their philosophy, not their sound. I want u2 to do their thing, too. It just seems like lately they're more obsessed with writing songs to fill stadiums than exploring their art. I like the last three albums and there are some great songs on them. But I guess the...

If anybody's heard the Lillywhite interview on NPR, around about 10 minutes in he talks about how U2 don't want to be completely experimental because they want to live in the "real world." He goes on to state that they don't want to go the road of Radiohead, because they're more a "niche" kind...

In a recent MTV interview, Sway asks Bono about Kanye West, who he praises as being at the epicenter of culture, or something to that effect. By that, he means that Kanye understands the culture that's going on around him, in all aspects, from music to art to fashion to film, etc., and this...

I just got the e-mail and it confirms I'm a Horizon member. Boy am I glad I kept renewing! I can't tell you how many times I was like, "Gosh, should I really pay another $40 for a CD of the DVD I already have..." This is a just reward. Mcguiness, you da man! :up:

ravin30000@yahoo.com Please! Thank you!

ravin30000@yahoo.com Much appreciated!

I am shocked by the amount of U2 hatred I seem to be finding EVERYWHERE. Not just on blue crack, but every music-related website out there. Where did all this come from? I know people have disliked U2 in the past, but lately it's become overbearing, and this is coming from someone who is...

U2 rocked! Love Larry's mega-kit. Bono's in top form. Super excited for this tour.

Sounds amazing!!!

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but Edge's guitar diddy in the middle sounds a million times better with the phaser on it. I take it this is the album version of the song? Also, the mixing sounds a lot more even. I think the US I-tunes download might have been unfinished... Anyways...

That's how the drums on the record should have been recorded.

After countless listens, I've come to the conclusion that I like the song, but I feel like it has some glaring issues. One is the mixing. I'm not a fan of how things come in real loud and in front, then suddenly go quiet and fade into the background when a new part begins. Everything sounds...

Man, I really don't know what to think of this song. That fact that it's a single is insane. Totally non-mainstream in my book. I think this is the first time I've been mixed about a U2 song. I love it and I hate it at the same time. It's raw, unfinished sounding. Mish-mash. But catchy as hell...

Sounds awesome! Am I crazy or does it have a Bjork kind vibe?
