[digitize]

I really wanted to make the thread.

The old thread:

So...still nothing.

 

[popacrobat]

According to Hollister, they're re doing some classics.

Twitter / Dave Hollister: @tim_esque they r re doing ...

So really, who knows what's going on.

 

[corianderstem]

What .... like, new songs that are going to be classics? Or ... they're dinking around playing old classics?

God, I hate Twitter.

"@jpstarkey "All I Want" & "Grace" "

 

[nielsgov]

Thread title sucks.

 

[popacrobat]

"@jpstarkey "All I Want" & "Grace" "

yep that's me. asked him before he said they were doing the classics, surprised he actually told me which songs they were/are working on.

i do really wonder what is going on inside U2's camp. we'll find out soon enough though.

God, I hate Twitter.

the "re" part in there makes me think they're playing around with some old songs - so maybe we'll see some sort of Grace / All I want is you segue in a few weeks?

 

[last unicorn]

^ I'd actually love to see that happening on tour

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Grace? As in the closer to Attyclub?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ha, my older brother had that big hit Blackstreet album that had No Diggity on it. I remember liking a couple of the songs.

My guess is that this probably has something to do with the tour. As someone said, they could be working out a new arrangement for All I Want Is You and working on an arrangement for *gasp* the live debut of Grace.

Playing that song might actually send more people to the bathroom than Unknown Caller.

But I'd love to see All I Want Is You in the set lists.

 

[U2girl]

Maybe All I want is a new song and Grace is a working title.

 

[coolian2]

if grace is a classic i'm a dutchman.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'll bet when Bono was conked out on dope in his hospital bed, he listened to ATYCLB for the first time since they recorded it, heard Grace, and in a drug-addled haze shot up and screamed "WE HAVE TO PLAY THIS LIVE! IT'LL BE MASSIVE!!!"

 

[ouu2fan23]

If this turns out to be some of the new material on the tour I'm going to be a little pissed.

 

[lazarus]

Grace
it's the name for a girl
it's also a song that
could ruin the show

hahahaha greatness!!

I wouldn't mind seeing AIWIY make a return, I kind of missed it this tour. BUT I'm not sure about Grace, maybe a snippet, but not more. On the other hand, I'd prefer them to do other stuff that they haven't played before or haven't played in a while or completely new stuff.

I think we shouldn't jump to any conclusions, maybe the guy doesn't even know the titles of U2's songs and is speculating himself. I won't believe anything from anyone until I hear it with my own ears when it's being played on tour.

[chrissybaby]

that stage is just screaming for Grace to be played.

 

[martin jaubert]

who is jpstarkey ???

 

[mama cass]

i for one would love to hear Grace

how come they're in the studio in "Sacramento" when they're about to go to Turin?

u2miracle @dave_hollister Congratulations!! What city have you been recording?

dave_hollister @u2miracle Sacramento thx

or is this guy in the studio just working on some U2 songs by himself?

lol

 

[ramblin rose]

It's probably a Grace dance remix to replace Crazy Tonight.

Could he be the guy who's going to cover U2's whole discography?

 

[LPU2]

l

Yeah, I'd like to hear Grace too. Obviously, it wouldn't be the whole song. It actually meshes very well with All I Want is You.

 

[chrissybaby]

They're in Sacramento?! Something about this isn't ringing true....
I'm not trying to put a downer on anything but Grace and AIWIY!!!! That's disappointing. Where are the rockers?!

 

[U2girl]

If he's talking about "re-doing some classics", what if this is (Amazing) Grace they're working on ?

Maybe this is the new tour opening Willie Williams talked about.

So what happened with Songs of Ascent (Eno) or Rubin material ? Is this the new stuff they're working on, as mentioned in the latest U2.com video ?

 

[coolian2]

if they thought drowning man would stop a concert in it's tracks, imagine what a piece of shit like grace would do.

 

[Acrobat51829]

Yeah, why would they be in Sacramento right now?

 

[digitize]

I really don't think that U2 are in Sacramento right now.
