Indeed they did. Some lyrics from two songs are posted online, and one other song, "Alex Descends Into Hell for a Bottle of Milk" was released as the B-side on "The Fly" single. "Alex Descends" was recorded in 1990, just after Rattle & Hum, and is such a departure, you can really see how the guys were interested in re-inventing themselves as liars, charlatans, revelers in all things confused. It's amazing.


That is so fucking cool! :bow::cute: :heart: 'Liars, charlatans, revelers in all things confused', I like that. Think maybe that was a highpoint for them? Well, for them, for me. Did Alex like milk? I forgot that. It's years ago I saw it.

Are you English by any chance?
 
I am surprised there has been no audio leak from this showing. Surely someone recorded something out there.

Really? Where can these lyrics be found? I've never heard of this.

English? No. Los Angeles.

Alex and milk? Yessir. Here's the Kubrick film clip, synched to U2's "Alex Descends":

YouTube - ALEX DESCENDS INTO HELL + A CLOCKWORK ORANGE = U2/Kubrick mashup

Bono lyrics from the RSC play are on this page:

A Clockwork Orange 2004 Play by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Anothy Burgess & U2 1990 - London, England
 
Los Angeles eh? Well isn't that interesting. So you're just really into Clockwork Orange. Whereas I like, nay LOVE :heart: the Royal Shakespeare Company. Different tastes. It's funny I never thought I had ANYTHING in common with U2, and I don't! Apart from, you know, THEM, so this is interesting for me.


You say 'Bono lyrics from the play'. Are they from Bono or the play

Interesting article from Antony Burgess.

Interesting article from Antony Burgess.

From what I understand, those are two lyrics from the play, written by Bono and the Edge.

Yeah that was posted on some movie sites a month or so ago, I actually really like the subtitle.
 
I'm posting this entire page since I searched and can't find this in any other forum...what I wouldn't give to be able to sing like "Sinead O’Connor with a Middle Eastern/Bulgarian/Greek twist" :cute:

I just checked to see if they have updated the seating chart, and ticketmaster said January performances have been canceled.
 
Ha, I kinda remember this, and I kinda remember thinking it sounded like HMTMKMKM. I guess when U2 hear "superhero" they know what kind of music they want out of it :lol:
 
What a whore fucking bitch!

Evan Rachel Wood had harsh words for Bono and The Edge when she met them - she told the U2 stars to make their music less depressing.
The Wrestler actress is set to take on the role of Mary Jane Watson in the new musical SpiderMan: Turn Off the Dark on Broadway, which will debut in February.
U2 frontman Bono and guitarist The Edge are writing new music for the musical - and Wood found herself giving them tips at a recent meet-up.
She tells Britain's The Times, “I was like, ‘Bono, I know you want to save the world and everything, but in this song you’re talking about poverty and world hunger and it’s Broadway. Can we lighten this up a bit, can I just not sing this?’
"He was like, ‘You’re right, I know, we have to try, we have to try’.”
