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.
Just a question - if he's not overly familiar with non-Best Of material, how would he know that they are doing Wire and Exit? I'm not doubting the authenticity or accusing you of anything, just curious.
