Shuttlecock XXII: Adam is British

[corianderstem]

You guys are yanking my chain, right? I'm talking about the plain old, album version of Magnificent.

Second verse, second chorus, AWESOME CHORD, BIG OL' BONO SHOUT "MAGNIFICENT" and into the instrumental break.

 

[No spoken words]

Sorry to interrupt the Cage gushing, but I must say this, just because.

I am completely and utterly in love with that bit in Magnificent after the second chorus when there's that great new chord from the Edge and then Bono just belts out the title.

God, that's awesome.

Carry on.

I re-read this and now I see you were not referring to a Live version. Sorry!

Magnificent is still my favourite song off the album and I don't care who knows it. I like to blast it in my car on the highway and drive moderately fast…

 

[corianderstem]

I still have not heard any audio from any of the shows. I WILL NOT CAVE! I may end up caving before Chicago.

Just the pre-show appearances (Last night I watched the DVD I just burned of the pro-shot Somerville show - yaaaaaay)

Although last night I dreamed about going to a show, and in my dream I heard the remix version of Crazy Tonight. ... although I've only seen/heard a bit of video from the first show, so I guess it was just what my mind assumed the Crazy Tonight remix would sound like.

It's not my favorite, but I do enjoy it and it's great in concert.

The rest of the band are Welsh.

I suspect that unlike me, she does not call Vertigo, "Squirtigo"?

No, she does not. Thankfully, or know her place in Interland lore.

She was close to joining the forum a few months ago and I advised her against it.

Best advice you will ever give anyone.

does the lady friend like U2 YLB?

does the lady friend like U2 YLB?

More importantly, does she refer to you as YLB?

 

[LMP]

I can't even imagine how much "fun" Laz and Lance would've had with her.

does the lady friend like U2 YLB?

She loves them. Part of what sparked our interest in one another, I guess.

More importantly, does she refer to you as YLB?

Not yet.

that's really cool, my wife tricked me into thinking she liked them... She waited until I was good and in love with her before reveling she actually didn't, by then it was too late...

The lesson to be learned here is that women are not to be trusted

 

[corianderstem]

Wouldn't that constitute fraud, and therefore you could get an annullment?

I hear chatter that ze boyz have rehearsed Bad and UTEOTW.

I am pleased.

This is from a review of the first Amsterdam show that's up on U2tours.com. It made me laugh:

I went with my girlfriend, Polly, she also loved the show. Her favorite U2 song is "Twilight," so she's a little pissed the band didn't play it (I had to explain to her that they haven't played some songs in over 28 years).

 

[corianderstem]

He was just confused - Polly clearly meant that she really only knows Pride and Beautiful Day and is a huge fan of the book/movie Twilight.

The article also failed to mention that they were about to leave for a trip to Forks, Washington so she could tour the town where the movie was made.

And it also does not include her direct quote: "EDWARD AND BELLA HAVE TRUE SPARKLY LOVE!!!!1111!!!!11!eleven~!!"

Dunno. We don't particularly care, as we apparently have no problem posting in a thread in OOC.

Welcome back.

If I ever played a game show with a phone a friend option, I'm pretty sure Yolland would be someone I'd consider. Just saying.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

ah, but is she your friend?

 

[No spoken words]

No.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]
