Re: Re: Re: Not the Band's problem...
Ok. thanks I appreciate the effort; however, the point still is that for most people, 82 songs for $150 is a bad deal. They are missing out on sales from alot of people by not allowing individual purchases of all tracks.
For example, someone like me would only want maybe 20 or 25 songs off of your list. I could care less about another 4 dance mixes of Discotheque, but I do like some live/demo tracks. Instead of getting $25 from me, they get zip. Don't understand the logic of that......

Although Native Son has some great riffs in the background that aren't on Vertigo, it sounds very confused. I'm glad it has been rewritten. But, the song is ideal for this kind of rarity.
Yahweh alternate version? BETTER! The bridge is incredible! Why did they shortened that for the album version?

Hey Gorman - will you be doing this again/
I can't get it due to full users - 32....
I would really appreciate it as I can't wait to hear these new songs!

This version of SYCMIOYO sounds weak in comparison to the finished article. When Bono starts singing his heart out the "middle" of the sound seems to drop out as though half the band just stopped playing 
ps. Gorman, how are the videos coming along?

Just keep trying to connect if it's full. It'll be looping all day, so people are bound to disconnect at some point.

No need to feel a reject, i may agree...not sure yet, but just maybe, on first listen I like it more, but is that because I have been programed by Vertigo, such social questions.

i think i like 'native son' better too. but then, i prefer the raw sound of the *unfinished* tracks to the polished album versions.

U2 F*CKIN RULE, folks...just consider: we already have a full 11-track album out in stores today, and look at all the extra tracks that this amazing band has given us in addition:
NEON LIGHTS
ARE YOU GONNA WAIT FOREVER?
MERCY
FAST CARS
FLOWER CHILD (From All That You Can't Leave Behind Sessions)
BEAUTIFUL GHOST (From The Joshua Tree Sessions)
LEVITATE (From All That You Can't Leave Behind Sessions)
LOVE YOU LIKE MAD (From All That You Can't Leave Behind Sessions)
SMILE (From How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb Sessions)
Xanax and Wine (Fast Cars Alternate Version)
Native Son (Vertigo Alternate Version)
All Because of You (Alternate Version)
Yahweh (Alternate Version)
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own (Alternate Version)
Usually, we'd have to wait two more years for all this amazing stuff to come out as B-sides - and I bet we'll have even more new & unheard material coming out in the singles ahead (All Because of You, etc.)!!!
This band is the BEST
p.s. why none of the following songs on The Complete U2???
YOU CAN’T GIVE AWAY YOUR HEART
FULL METAL JACKET
YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW
HOME (THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN)
CHIBA CITY BLUES
STRANDED
UNTIDY LIFE
SPONGE
SPARKY'S LEFT THE PLANET

I'm no so sure about this boxset... a little disappointed if anything. But man, do I want those few ALTYCLB and HTDAAB session tracks...

Yep, they want to make it too time consuming for pirates. But not toooo for fans
.For all those fans who just want stuff that they don't have. The time tested adage of patience & barter still works in the 21st century even with iTunes & mp3's....oh yeah, let us listen to a few of them first too, I still don't know what the 446 are
Btw, how long does it take to download via broadband? I started @ 12:29pm & it's 2:31pm = 446 songs + 1 pdf.

Wait a second. I've heard a couple people in this discussion say that the catalogue material in the digital boxset is digitally remastered. Can anyone actually verify this, or is this simply a small "wording" mistake by a few posters? I wasn't under the impression that anything in the set from the back catalogue was remastered.
As someone who's been waiting for remastered CDs of the older material, this caught my attention (though I'm guessing it's not true).

I am really upset that the few songs I don't have or want are "Album Only". I have almost everything else so I don't see the point in paying 100 bucks for them. I'd be willing to donate my coupon to someone if they would give me the tracks I wanted...
No fair...

If it was it'd be advertised as such to get those who already own the CDs more interested. They're not remastered unless I missed where its listed.

If anyone feels benevolent....email me elev8mehere@yahoo.com I only want a few tracks and I've got the coupon.
