During a Q magazine interview Lillywhite stated:
"Producer Steve Lillywhite remembers the mixing of "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" (notably absent from the forthcoming Best of) as being especially testing.
They hated that song," he says. "I spent a month on it and I still don't think it was as realised as it could've been. The Americans had heard it and said, That's your radio song there, because they were having trouble with some of the more industrial elements. It's almost like a covers band doing a U2 moment. Maybe we tried too hard."
This was one of the reasons why I totally disagreed with the original post which, amongst other things, stated that U2 in the 90's didn't care what was expected of them. WGRYWH was just an attempt to keep the record execs happy.
