I like how on the promo DVD Bono said Crumbs was the only song they've ever written while drunk, and now it's the most important song he's ever written.

Maybe it could be both...

the ONLY song they have ever written while drunk? lol i doubt it...

Thanks for the info.

I really do hope that they play "Crumbs" at Live8 - it would a totally appropriate place to premier it.

And whether it was written while they were drunk or not, it IS one of the most important songs that U2 has ever done.

I think Bono means business this time. I think they will play Crumbs at Live8. Don't know if they will debute it there but it would be great if they did so and it would be perfect if they pulled off a gret version of it.

well it could be....the music might have been done while severely hammered (hammertime...sorry can't help myself

) lyrics may have come later which may be why Bono considers it important...otherwise if he did the lyrics while drunk i imagine we would have got those weird whooping noises he made in the Achtung Baby outtakes...which may have been interesting

From www.atu2.com, in fact I'm surprised nobody's talking about this

NEW @U2 LIVE 8 SPOILER?

Neil McCormick, U2's longtime friend who's working on the official U2 by U2 book and has already published his own Killing Bono: I Was Bono's Doppelganger book, seems to drop a couple spoilers in a recent article he penned for the U.K. magazine New Statesman. McCormick affirms previous rumors that the show will open with U2 and Paul McCartney performing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and that U2 alone will follow that with "Beautiful Day."

if they perform it... then people will be like "what was that song... i liked it" then u2 release it and make millions

They'd wanna play The Fly or something cool to compensate for it.
