These are the first beach clips I've ever listened to.

It's neither here nor there, it just is.

we've had these things since the summer of 2004.

kudos to you for holding out this long.

I followed the conversations and couldn't figure out how anyone was drawing any sort of judgement from, if chatter was to be believed, pretty low-quality snippets of songs.

 

[david]

The quality of the clip today wasn't as bad as the earlier clips released years ago. I guess that's just advancements in phone tech. Obviously it still wasn't a good enough clip to get a gauge on how the song sounds. But I was able to make out some lyrics and a general idea of how the song might sound. I'm sure we'll get more leaks soon.. Time is drawing near.

Lyrically it sounded pretty trite to me. Seemed to have a decent groove.

I seem to recall a beach clip of Beautiful Day in the summer of 2000, right around the time I joined Interference. I remember the excitement generated by that one clip.

(Have I really been here 16 years? )

Lyrically it sounded pretty trite to me.

so clearly this album is going to be a major departure from the band's post-2000 work.

I recall numerous "beach clips" related jokes being made when I first met Martha and Joyful on the In Rainbows tour.

Heh, I never seen these, but I read about them for years - the Spitting Image parody of U2 in 1987... (They also provided the imagery for the Genesis "Land of Confusion" video from 1986..)



Best line is "I stand in deserts with a bunch of pricks" which is kind of funny.

 

[lazarus]

Funny, but they couldn't even cut to a puppet Edge for 2 seconds?

 

[Hewson]

Puppet Larry was pretty bald in 1987.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Puppet Larry was pretty bald in 1987.

It looks like they reused another puppet... David Gilmour? Old Phil Collins? Who knows...

 

[BVS]

Puppet Larry was pretty bald in 1987.

They made him smile too much...

 

[PhilsFan]

I have never found puppets entertaining or funny.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm wondering about the new album.

 

[u2popmofo]

I've been listening to the "baby" disc from the Achtung anniversary set for the first time in a few years. Forgot how different some of the versions were. It's crazy how much listenable content came out of demos from those sessions.

That baby version of Love Is Blindness is sooooo good, reminds me of music from old Dario Argento films like Surpiria or inferno.

 

[kabigon]

I dig the Baby version of Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. A bit more jangly, strings which aren't in the album version. The vocals aren't as prominent (probably more of a mixing issue than a deliberate choice) which kind of helps gives it a dream-like vibe. Still prefer the album version but I like hearing how it could've been different.

The opening line 'You're innocence I'm experience' means it has no chance of being played when the tour resumes.

i dunno, guatemala in 1955 had its moments.

DJ Clips?

 

[david]

I kind of like it. Not sure if it's going to be on SOE. Just seems like a one off collaboration or something.

I would bet decent money that Somgs of Experience is scrapped and we don't get a new album until at least 2018.

I like how by the second chorus the crowd are singing along.

I'd pay excellent money to see the guys release the album on time as anticipated... but with that typo as its cover.

Reminds of the night Bono learned about "the internet" when people were singing along to Mercy on 360.

No. It's the lead single. This was just a remix.

You know what else was just a remix (of the German empire)? THE NAZIS
