I love all versions of morning child....hell I love it even more than WGRYWH

even in its unfinished state it showed a lot of promise... ...I wish WGRYWH was more like it


I love the bridge in this version, and think it is even better than the one on the album version

Mercy, mercy I do sing.
Mercy, mercy child don't cry.

(DrumsFaint Synthesizer) #3

from disc 5.


Kidding.

Actually, I haven't listened to these in a long time....I should go back and give them a spin. I've never made it all the way through discs 4-7. I stay interested for about half an hour and lose it.

She´s Gonna Blow Your House Down (damn, this should have been official. What a kick ass rock song).
Morning Child/Don´t Turn Around (better than Wild Horses IMO)
Heaven and Hell

 

[Lancemc]

1. She's Gonna Blow Your House Down (man oh man, this is the shit.)

2. Take You On

3. Heaven and Hell

 

[xaviMF22]

Morning Child/Don´t Turn Around (better than Wild Horses IMO)

Hell yea

I agree

 

[vaz02]

Where may i aquire these outtakes ?

 

[Axver]

1. Take You Down
2. I Feel Free
3. Acrobat demo

Maybe one of the Where Did It All Go Wrong? demos instead of Acrobat - they're both pretty similar to their final versions. In fact, if I remember correctly, isn't the official copy of WDIAGW a mix of the two demo versions on Axtung Beibi?

 

[chocky]

1. She's Gonna Blow Your House Down
2. Take You Down
3. Woman / Sick for Love

 

[Screwtape2]

1. So Cruel (Sick For Love/ Black Mask/ Woman/ whatever else it is called) specifically the 8:21 version on Disc 4.
2. She's Gonna Blow Your House Down the second version aka the one that starts with the "whoa, whoa, whoa"
3. Morning Child/Don´t Turn Around the second version

I love the Achtung Baby outtakes.

1. Salome (most of the versions) - in fact, Salome is my fav b-side, so everything is explained...

2. Even Better Than the Real Thing - instrumental

3. Morning Child / Don't Turn Around

* honours mentions for: Take You Down/LWTSH (demo), Acrobat (demo), I Feel Free and Going Down South/Southern Instrumental... I love these stracks too
* I'm not a fan of Sick For Love and Heaven & Hell... sorry but the down-tempo songs didn't go well IMO in those sessions, they're boring and unimaginative.
