What are all those random images of in the live version of Numb in ZOOTV? All those random images are........random images.

I actually think NiN is the more important of those acts mentioned(not including REM and maybe Coldplay). But Reznor doesn't have the ability to be like Bono. And NiN is really Reznor with studio musicians playing the albums and live ones touring. Not really a "band" or "group" in the U2 sense.

I agree gman. It was hard to surpass the surprise and departure ZOOTV brought to live shows and to U2 itself. Bands found that out......including U2 with PoP

Utoo just means how the song changes so much from beginning to end. It's a musical journey. :wink:

Adam shines the most on Pop. Definately. His bass carries the middle third of the album, with a few others at the first(DYFL) and last(Please). But Gone, SATS, and LNOE bass is :drool:

I agree. Over the last several years(albums) the live versions of the songs is where they really come alive.

perhaps Bono sings using his voice as an instrument, as opposed to singing a lyric. Beat-box Bono?

This is crazy! What's next, dogs and cats living together? Mass hysteria! :ohmy: Seriously, give the cus ser a go and they should help you.

So U2 should not sound "like U2"? Lazarus My original point was to show that Lanois was certainly not the originator (or collaborator, for that matter), and that if any credit for the sound is given to a producer here it should be Eno. Listen to the Night and Day cover they did with producer...

I do know that AB had sold, according to both Flanagan's and del la Parra's books, about 4 million in the U.S. during their Outside Broadcast swing through the states. And that was in '93 when the tour was still underway. I don't know worldwide figures.

Morgoth, Hot Press has(or had) a book called Three Chords and the Truth from the late '80's that I have. It's a compendium of all their U2 articles from the '80's and is a treasure trove of information. And nice interviews with the band too. See if you can track it down from a used book store...

Hold Me,Thrill Me. I like Vertigo, but HMTM is a much better song. It has some nice changes whereas Vertigo pretty much stays put form beginning to end.....same beat, same bass.

Okay, the T-Bone Burnett tunes: "Having a Wonderful time, Wish you were Her" from Under the Trapdoor. Co-written by Bono. But he doesn't sing on the track. Purple Heart from Talking Animals. Co-written by Bono, with him featured on vocal.

coolian, agreed about your ATYCLB...... .....except for Electrical Storm. :madspit: :wink:

Sweetest Thing is a great song, but was only really realised in the 1998 version You think so? To me, they're almost identical. The JT version is a little rougher around the edges, but I do agree it doesn't really fit into the overall theme of TJT album. That's what people should...

Night and Day. Excellent cover that does what a great cover should do: take it and make it your own. I remember when it first came out I was thinking "wow.......U2 are getting dark and serious". :D Little did I know what was to come. Bono also produced She's a mystery to Me for Orbison.

BTBS - ZOO TV is the definitive version of that song, IMHO. It's where U2 took that song as far as it could go and still be faithful to the studio version. Plus The Edge's solo....:drool: And I like Love is Blindness alot too. How starts real delicate and then builds to The Edge's moment...

Is that because of the mirrored glass? The Edge could've used that for bench press.

Listening to 11Oclock from Red Rocks now. Haven't listened to October for a looong time(but have Gloria obviously :D)

Is it an full-fledged song or more of an interesting ditty? You did say "open" for Streets so is it just an intro or something?

U2Girl Yes, Miss Sarajevo and Your Blue Room made it onto the Best of. But those songs sound more like U2 than anything on that album; I believe those two songs are the only ones on that entire album with the whole band playing together.

Won't this side project slow down the work on the next album? Likely not. Musicals always have their music written well in advance of opening night. This is so the actors can rehearse, the conductor can work on the music, choreography, etc. So Bono and The Edge might be finished with this...

So basically all the extras from the albums are programmed as samples so that they can be triggered when needed. I see no difference in doing this than in someone playing a synthisizer. Yeah, there is definately something that seperates a pre-programmed loop or little effect that still has to...

They just deleted the speech on the record. And at the end you can just hear Bono say "Happy Birthday Frank".

This album aged so well, it stands up to all their other stuff and is, no doubt, a great album and is my second favorite U2 album. It has aged well, I agree. SATS,LNOE and Gone.....:drool:
