BANZAI said:If The Edge says there are still some parts of it they are working on, Mercy is meant to be on the next album for sure.

In your, oh so humble, opinion.
I reverently disagree.
Thank you so much.

oceane said:Bono never made a clear link between the song and the name 'Mercy'.
That being said the track was on a CD with other Bomb songs, and Mercy had been described as 6.30 minutes of epic-U2, so it must be it. Still, funny how things we take for 100% certain sometimes come from fan speculation.

Utoo said:The Story of Mercy:
Interference member U2SJ met Bono (I believe at a hotel) a few weeks before HTDAAB came out. She asked him about the upcoming album & he said something along the lines of, "Watch out for Mercy, it's my favorite." Within a week or two of that meeting, a Blender magazine article came out in which the author sat with the band & talked about the upcoming album, detailing each track. One of those tracks was listed as "Mercy." The author commented on what it sounded like, then said that Larry said he had an idea, the band huddled up, and after a few minutes, Mercy was no longer on the album. In just a few weeks, HTDAAB was released. So, Mercy was cut just a few weeks from the actual pressing/distribution of the album. Around the time of the album's release, U2SJ--the same young woman who had met Bono & been told to "look out for Mercy"---got a copy of HTDAAB from a friend. Tacked onto the end of this copy of the album was a 12th track, which we all now know as Mercy. The title was apparently not on the disc that she got, but since the Blender article had commented on Mercy being over 6 minutes, she figured that this must be Mercy. She then leaked it on Interference & I think the thread had 500 posts in less than a day. People questioned how she had gotten it. She kept saying that she had no idea how her friend had gotten a copy of it....but also never said anything about actually asking him/her. Since I wasn't around yet for all this, I did a bit of digging last year (http://forum.interference.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=148160&highlight=mercy) and emailed her. She still just states that she has no idea how the friend got it. (If it were me, I'd be asking the dude a million times a day. ).

You're right, that's my bad.
But I'd rather see mods enforcing rules than other members doing so, you know what I mean?
oceane said:What is a bit strange though is that, like you recalled, Mercy was in fact on Bomb until pretty much the last minute it seems, therefore should have been pretty much finished, no?
