Saw this on U2gigs.

Could be rubbish, doesn't seem like a very 'transformers' kind of song, and surely we'd of heard something by now? Then again, they are into their superhero/men watching boys programs thing atm.

Transformers 3 Movie Soundtrack

This link would say otherwise....

 

[The Sad Punk]

Holy shit I hope I never have to listen to a bar of that soundtrack.

Kind of glad U2 aren't cooped up with those guys.

 

[alanah]

He said he's watched the world premiere of the movie..Mercy could be in the movie, let's wait and see..

Linkin Park, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, and...U2.

Wow, imagine U2 out of those other bands. I think something like 30 Seconds to Mars would be a better option in that category.

 

[Danny Boy]

There is still an "original score" CD that hasn't been released yet. I doubt it would show up on there, but we shall see...

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

thats kind of a strange rumor for someone to start....wonder if this guy is onto something or if he's just on something?

 

[Danny Boy]

Is this April June Fool's Day in Brazil or something?

 

[Danny Boy]

I did a little Googling, and the world premiere of Transformers 3 isn't supposed to be until June 23 in Moscow? Why did this guy supposedly see it in São Paulo already?

I'm surprised it hasn't been released though. I downloaded Mercy from here back in November 2004. They are now saying the next U2 album won't come out until October 2012. If Mercy is on the album, that will make it eight years that we have had Mercy before it was officially released.

You don't know ANYTHING about the concert business.

But the live version of "Mercy" has been officially released ("Wide Awake in Europe"). Granted, as just stated, this is a live, not studio version. And WAIE was released in limited quantities (supposedly). Still, it was an "official" release.

As for "Transformers"... I just hope not. I hated the first movie so much I never bothered with the second. Despite the second making a lot of $$, it appears the audience agreed. This suggests a potential big drop for the third movie. And if "Mercy" isn't actually played in the film or appears on the main soundtrack, then why bother with some secondary release?

So U2Gigs just tweeted that they received mail stating it will be Northstar not Mercy in the film. Nothing about a soundtrack though.

 

[Catman]

Such an odd choice for "Transformers"

 

[theedgeu2]

WTF? North Star in Transformers?

You know I may actually go to see Transformers just for that.

 

[zoocarolina]

Odd to say the least, hope we get north star and mercy on proper albums someday

 

[nirniva]

That might actually be an even weirder choice...at least Mercy is a Big Bombastic U2 Anthem™, unlike Snoreth Star. I love the song, but it doesn't seem like it'd be a great fit for a summer blockbuster about giant robots and explosions.

[bono_man2002]

It appears in the movie, but Noooot on the soundtrack? I'm looking forward to a studio version.

 

[The Moska]

Oh Lord. I hope it really is a lie. If either one is part of the movie I'm gonna cry.

 

[corianderstem]

Maybe it'll be one of those things where it's on a character's radio for, like, 20 seconds in the background.

 

[Rachel D.]

The movie is called Dark of the Moon. Moon, North Star.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Transformers. Form. Shape. Box. Straight Lines. Bars. Cage. Zoo. "Zooropa"?

[theedgeu2]

U2 should write a song about Transformers. Or about how they played with Transformers when they were kids or something.

Yeah, when they were kids.....touring The Unforgettable Fire album.

This is what I'm hoping, and thinking since it isn't on the soundtrack (that probably would have cost them a lot more to license).

But a ballad that appears to be pretty simplistic and religious, doesn't really jive with a race of alien robots fighting...

If it gets us a glimpse of what one studio iteration (note this goes back to the Bomb sessions and was originally a collaboration with Michael W. Smith) of this song sounds like, I'll live with it.
