that is all

 

[bigjohn2441]

awesome riff, awesome solo, 9 all the way.

 

[digitize]

I'm tempted to give it a ten, but I don't really think it's a ten quality-wise... just an epic look into U2 songwriting.

 

[theFly51]

best outtake ever

10

 

[trojanchick99]

9 for the guitar work.

 

[Axver]

Excellent out-take, easily the best of the Axtung Beibi stuff. 9. I listen to this more than most stuff on Achtung itself nowadays.

 

[intedomine]

Can't give this more than a 4. Chances Away, Blow Yer House Down and Take Today are substantially better!

 

[gvox]

This song doesn't even belong in the contest, imo. It's just an early jam of The Fly/LWTSH.

 

[Axver]

Well you should've spoken up when we discussed it, rather than grizzling now.

We've done Trevor, Silver Lining, etc., we'll do Always as well as Beautiful Day, we're doing the early and late Sweetest Things and Slow Dancings separately ... Take You Down is more different to any other songs than all those I've just listed. I don't see your problem.

 

[jphelmet]

for an unfinished demo its about an 8.

compared to finished studio tracks, its a 4.

 

[phommel]

8, great riff, great solo. From when is this performance?

 

[gvox]

I don't see your problem.

That's likely because I don't have a problem. I'm expressing an opinion. That's all. I suppose it's my fault for coming late to the party, but I'm still trying to figure out at what point I should be making suggestions for future inclusions if the master list is (apparently?) closed (unless I read that explanation wrong Irishteen).

The inclusion of Take You Down is however a good sign that I likely don't need to compile a list of outtakes from recent years that I'd like to vote on, they're likely already on the list.

The masterlist for remixes is closed the second the round for that song is up, I was requested to do this, Lady With the Spinning Head (Extended Dance) and some other outtake can't remember right now so they'll be up. Anything excluding a remix or alt version is technically still possible to add in until the round for the album is over

 

[gvox]

Ah, ok...gotcha...so if someone wants to request an alt/remix, they should do so well before the round for that album begins, in other words an album or two ahead of time. Sounds fair!
