MERGED --> Saints release info + "The Saints Have Arrived!"

[Michael Griffiths]

I don't have the ability to listen to anything right now. I'm curious: what's the Rick Rubin production like on this track? Does it sound different than anything U2 have recorded before?

 

[Yahweh]

The production is as crisp as it gets...ive never heard U2 so clean....as far as pure sound goes....and the track is really good!

Oooohh.... a boom-cha!

The live version sounded pretty good to me. I can't wait to hear the studio one.

Well, technically it's more of a boom then a cha than a boom-cha .

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

boom-cha

i dig it

I couldn't get it to work on Firefox, but it works fine on Explorer.


This sounds awesome! :jawdrop: Loved the boom-chas, loved the whole sound of it, especially the intro and Bono's first lines. I can't tell if this gives us any insight into how the U2/Rubin work will turn out or not...

 

[bonocomet]

tiny folk, these rockstars are

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

Just heard the song! Its awsome! Kicks the original's ass anytime!!

and

Boom-cha HEY

its gold!

on a side note from daily news dot com:

Bono, Billie Joe Armstrong and their mates from U2 and Green Day flipped out fans at a Bourbon St. club when they wandered in and started singing with the house band. ...

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

BOOM CHA - HEY

thats all i have to say!

 

[ponkine]

How different is the studio version compared with the live performance?

I'm wondering because the live versions is totally spoiled by the cheesy horns sounds, really that crap !

Also, I think the structure of the song could be much better, because it has some much potential

that would of been so cool to see

seems as if the 2 groups are really chummy

 

[Numb1075]

seems as if the 2 groups are really chummy

I think it's because Bono found a lead singer shorter than him

makes him feel big and manly.

both bands come out of punk rock and realized that they would have to abandon their punk roots in order to really expand on their music and take off as a band...

there are a lot more similarities between the two bands than ya think

 

[bort269]

Well, technically it's more of a boom then a cha than a boom-cha .

the second one sounded like "boom... cha... oy!" to me

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i believe it's bono with a "boom... cha..." and then billie joe with a "hey"

[Jack In The Box]

I got the live version, but I really need listen to the Rick Rubin production

 

[U2democrat]

I'm surprised no one's ripped it yet...

 

[bonocomet]

Is it different from the one that's being passed around?

I'll still buy it to support Music Rising no matter what.

you can add and/or download it here. while you're there check Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean I uploaded.

Many U2 sites aren't even allowing rips of the live version---neither the Rhapsody one nor tv rips---to be posted anymore. I'm not expecting the studio version to be allowed.....

I can't wait to buy the single!

The studio version has been shared alot already in another thread.

 

[Lancemc]

Good to finally have the studio version. Not sure what I think about Rubin's production yet though. It will take time to form a solid opinion. But my initial responce is toward the positive. Too much reverb though.

damn... I thought "Where The Album Has No Name" would be where to look!
