Next Album Rumours Thread V - Your Song Ruined My Life

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Then he'd really be dreaming of the west coast...

My only two asks for the album:

- Edge play more guitar and write one memorable riff

- Bono doesn't try to squeeze 150 words in the verses

 

[Hewson]

whatever they decide i hope they toss ryan tedder into the ocean

Then he'd really be dreaming of the west coast...

And hopefully it's a red flag day.

Oh great ocean
Oh great seas
Pop producers thrown in oceans
Tossed into the sea

And nothing with American politics please. I share his viewpoint, but it never works well in their (more recent) songs

they’re not songs, they’re ideas

 

[womanfish]

they’re not songs, they’re ideas

our message to Bono via Will Smith:

Keep America out your FUCKING mouth! (Slaps glasses off face, stomps on them - Interference cheers wildly)

Bono's "America" speak was so nauseating during the Joshua Tree 2017 Tour that when we left the concert, we were actually making fun of Bono on the walk back to our car. First time I've ever left a U2 show making fun of one of their members.

He keeps trying to have it both ways, but that’s impossible when half the voters are fucking crazy.

“This is not America”? Yeah, it is.
The noose out front shoulda told you.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i do feel kinda bad for the guy. he thinks so highly of us, only to be let down every damn time.

 

[DeVaul]

To be fair, he has to look up to most people.

Try a volcano instead of the ocean; he might be a good swimmer.

He has been thinking a lot about the west coast lately, so probably true

Read this with me, this is "40".

PS. Hi.

 

[mikemiller48]

this soundcheck has haunted me since the late 90s. Epic sounding. Mercy pales in comparison.

I hear this an embryonic version of "Walk On", maybe with a little bit of "Kite" mixed in. Around 2:20 it clearly sounds like "Walk On" to me. I can almost hear the "When your heart it breaks..." (or something like that) being sung over it.

Cheers, Mike

I often thought the same in the years before we heard North Star. It’s possible all three had some beginnings here
