RademR said:WOWWWW!!!! now if this is true, that is some GREAT news.
I always listen to "Stuck", the acoustic version, to me it kills the album version. So acoustically it would be great, and I always like the stripped version of "Original" (a-la performance in San Jose).
artdirector said:Damn more interesting tid bits. It seems that the band as always have been playing or jamming on NEW SONGS! According to my source one of the songs seems to be inspired by the bands current situation with having to deal with a lot of personal stuff ie. Bono's back spasms, Larry's back problems, Edge's stuff etc.
Possible mid life crisis song. By the way he says the song makes Vertigo sound like a pop song. Damn I wish I was there at the warehouse as a rat. Then I could come and go as I please.
artdirector said:Some more news. Stuck in a Moment is being rehearsed but as an acoustic. Along with OOTS. Maybe a B stage combo.

Yeah, I figured they'd fuck that one up. Couldn't get it right with Edge on piano, now they're just going to emasculate it.
I know there's people that don't even like OOTS, but can we get a consensus that without Edge's electric guitar on the chorus this one is gonna be a clunker?
So much for this being a showstopper near the end of the setlist.

What the hell is their problem? They've been playing music professionally for 25 years. Why can't they have a damn keyboard tech come up and play piano for that song? Or god forbid, have Bono pull double-duty?
U2 has had a very maddening history of not properly working up solid live versions of some of their best songs on album (Like A Song, Red Hill Mining Town, Acrobat, So Cruel, Staring at the Sun, etc.).
Here's hoping they get creative and solve the Original of the Species riddle.

artdirector said:Just an FYI: I believe my friend heard OOTS that way they played it on the Apple Launch of their IPOD. Edge and Bono only singing it. As for him knowing new from old songs he's not a fan like us who would know every song so he may be hearing an older song thinking its new. He does know that the songs (2 of them) they've been tinkering with ARE NOT on the best of 1980 or 1990 so its safe to assume that they are either new songs or songs that were not singles but rockin tunes from their albums like EXIT etc.
