The "Irishteen Clips" *the first recordings of U2's new sound*

[Irishteen]

So here we are the first clips of U2's new sound and they're supplied by me


Edit: Cleaned up, shortened clip

 

[bono_man2002]

Man I love Edge's Live sound, Its so much better than when its overproduced and everything on the album.

 

[Varitek]

Again, thank you so very, very, very much for sharing this. Any chance you might go down there more often?

The Edge is on fire and I hope it doesn't spread in that wind.

 

[Rob33]

my 3rd time listening through...

I think it is apparent, despite the quality, that this is a fresh sound indeed

and thank you very much for your efforts and dedication !

 

[waynetravis]

Was he just jamming little samples or was it fulll lenght guitar and you just recorded little samples of them?

 

[Rob33]

2:54-55 kinda sound like the beginning of Love is Blindness i think

 

[Varitek]

Were there other people there or was it just you?

 

[Irishteen]

Were there other people there or was it just you?

Yup close to a dozen people in all, mostly Italians

 

[Varitek]

For just a second, yeah.

(My playcount is at 6.)

Tourists going to the studio, been there Did they look at you funny with your computer?

 

[Irishteen]

Tourists going to the studio, been there :grin: Did they look at you funny with your computer?

Nope one guy said I looked prepared

 

[Rob33]

Nope one guy said I looked prepared

haha that's pretty funny

did you see anyone else with any recording devices?

 

[Irishteen]

haha that's pretty funny

did you see anyone else with any recording devices?

Not really I think I was the only one unless some people used their phones

Edge played some other guitar parts I didn't record because my laptop died but they were in the same style as the ones in the Clips

Molten Metal for sure

 

[Varitek]

I'm not sure that I'm hearing molten metal, whatever that is, but the handplayed electro and Morrocan sounds I can recognize.

 

[misterboo]

Irishteen I love you and your industriousness!

 

[Rob33]

i've probably listened to it 10 times now...it's just on repeat haha...it's funny how a 3 minute recording of just edge in not so great quality can grab me like it has haha...

the album is just going to be multiplied by a million

 

[Varitek]

My playcount is 9 and in :54 it will be 10.

 

[Carek1230]

That was fun! Thanks!

 

[Rob33]

i'm still tryin to think if they could somehow blend Mercy into all this....

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

It's not chimey!

Is anybody else picking up a 70s vibe from some of these riffs?

My favourite bits are the one that starts at 1:50, and the one that starts at 3:00. Deep, crunchy tones


And I think someone requested this:

 

[topplehatU2]

Crap, I'm in class and have to wait an hour and a half to hear this.

 

[ramblin rose]

Wow! I can't wait to get home and download these. Thanks for doing this, Irishteen!!

This is starting to remind me of 2004..

 

[Still_Running44]

irishteen thanks a lot for hanging out over there. Do you plan on going back tomorrow?

 

[Varitek]

And I think someone requested this:

That was me, thanks.

I'm going to dinner, but I bet when I get back this thread will be 15 pages long.

 

[Irishteen]

Sounds great, thank you! What a team!

Irishteen, could you send everything you got to artdirector and maybe he could see if anything else is salvageable?

I doubt it, most of it was just noise, almost all of the guitar was in the original clip

 

[Irishteen]

irishteen thanks a lot for hanging out over there. Do you plan on going back tomorrow?

Not really, I have college and Hanover Quay is dirty, windy and cold

The Beach clips at least were recorded in a nice location
