What about Electrical Storm

Dalton · 10-12-2005, 10:18 AM

Have Bono and the boys ever mentioned this song in the press? Rehearsed the song? Or spoken about it to a fan?

I am surprized the song hasn't made its way into the set-list yet. I wonder what's up.

Edge said they were working on it, but apparently it looks as if Edge has caught a little Bono-itis.

Ha! They just can't play it. They're a rubbish live band - I knew it all along!

Dalton · 10-12-2005, 10:26 AM

How long ago did the Edge say that?

Chizip · 10-12-2005, 10:26 AM

during the first leg, so i think we can pretty much rule it out

BEVERLY56 · 10-12-2005, 12:12 PM

Omigod I love this song so much, please add it on this leg! (I know they're reading this!)

mabel · 10-12-2005, 12:28 PM

Didn't they snippet it somewhere in Europe on the 2nd leg?...Or am I just making that up? Totally possible.

Why not just lipsync - they've done that for 30 years already.

They rehearsed it at the Brussells soundcheck, acoustically.

mabel · 10-12-2005, 12:57 PM

I swear to god, I thought they did like a line or something somewhere in Europe. Apparently my painfully arduous summer of sitting at a desk inserting hundreds of thousands of data factoids into spreadsheets caused some sort of hallucination on that. Not at all surprising....though rather sad indeed.

Chizip · 10-12-2005, 01:00 PM

Someone posted that they snipetted it during One as a joke. It made it on to other message boards and setlist websites all over the world. When people found out it was just a joke it got a little ugly. The guy who made the joke has been banned from here (though not directly because of that incident)

And U2.com has said specifically, that they didn't rehearse it at Brussells: "Contrary to reports 'Electrical Storm' was not rehearsed yesterday. It was aired - but only through the PA system!"

Wow really? That torrent sure sounded like it was live and all. Does an acoustic ES even exist? Because that's what it was.

mabel · 10-12-2005, 01:05 PM

Well, at least I know I'm not crazy. I'd follow the setlist parties at work, and I'd usually end up leaving mid encore, so I'd imagine I missed all the spatting that ensued when it came out to be fake. It's a relief to know I'm not totally dillusional!

Chizip · 10-12-2005, 01:05 PM

U2.com could be lying, I don't know. I haven't heard the torrent.

I think they are then. You should listen to it, you'll see what I mean. It's on U2t.

Bono wasn't present that day so Edge just played it acoustically.

LarryMullen's POPAngel · 10-12-2005, 01:42 PM

They should play it in Detroit.

Chizip · 10-12-2005, 01:52 PM

They are going to do an Eminem cover in Detroit.

Then Kid Rock is going to come out and sing One with them.
