U2 fail to create cool car engine sounds

Merc asks U2 to create AMG electric car sound | carsguide.com.au

A shame. Would be cool to hear what they came up with...

 

[gvox]

0-100 in TWO seconds? Suspect

 

[Registered Dude]

the automakers were probably thrilled with the prospect. that is, until U2 gave them... Race Against Time

Now this is the kind of advertising I disagree with when it comes to U2.

 

[LemonMelon]

I hope they saved something from these sessions

When my AMG electric arrives, I'm going to ask the dealer specifically to install the U2 engine noises.

This is a dead serious question: Is the author of that article, or the person being interviewed not a native english speaker?

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, this is giving me serious skeptical face.

Kind of like mixed with

 

[bono_212]

OK, Glad I'm not alone here.

It reads like the letter U and the number 2 were a part of the name or serial number of whatever entity/program/robot was charged with coming up with the sound, and someone skimmed it and saw "What? U2 is writing car sounds? I have to write about this!"

That said, if this were even something remotely capable of happening, I'd want a car whose engine sounded like the SKRREEEEEEEE when the guitar kicks in during Mofo.

Maybe it's just going to be Bono making vroom-vroom car noises.

 

[nielsgov]

Or Adam farting.

 

[Cactus Annie]

Um, what's the point in this?

Billy Joel did it better, and for all time, with Anthony's Song.

It'd be cool to hear U2 come up with a new fucking album.

 

[last unicorn]

It will be an album full of car sounds.

 

[LemonMelon]

Metal Machine Music got nothing on this bitch. It was actually meant for a metal machine.

If they were looking for a macho, aggressive car sound, why would they go to U2? Why not a band that's a bit more aggressive?

Yeah, like Coldplay!

They could use 'Fix You' as an automated call to any mechanic in the surrounding area every time the car breaks down.

A Mercedes with the sound of Bullet The Blue Sky coming out from the engine.

Well, sounds cool.
