Should U2 go back to the Salome outtakes?

[miss becky]

Sure, some of it is forgettable, but some of this stuff is pretty damn good. For instance, Sunset in Colors is simply beautiful. I'd love to see what the band could do with it.

So what would you think if the band went back to these musical ideas and decided to use them?

 

[BVS]

There's one or two, I'd like to see them come back to...

Most of the better outtakes have been used.

 

[Axver]

Most of the better outtakes have been used.

Agreed. The good stuff's been used, so there's no point returning to what's left.

 

[Niceman]

I'd rather they invent a new sound...for the most part....

 

[miss becky]

True, most of the good stuff became songs we all know. But something like Sunset in Colors is wonderful. I'd love to hear that riff in a song one day.

 

[STING2]

Most of the stuff on these outtakes are multiple versions of the same songs. I think there is only like 6 or 7 songs that have NOT been used in any way and are not related or a different version of a song that has already been released.

 

[FungusAmongus]

don't forget "heaven and hell" and "laughing in the face of love/woman".... (depending on which version of the outtakes you have, the name may vary)

 

[Utoo]

some of the riffs have been used. i'd swear there's a hint of the outtakes in COBL & ABOY.

 

[STING2]

don't forget "heaven and hell" and "laughing in the face of love/woman".... (depending on which version of the outtakes you have, the name may vary)

I think "laughing in the face of love" is basically "So Cruel".

But yep, Heaven and Hell is definitely one, along with "Blow Your House Down" although many would say that has turned into ABOY.

 

[liamcool]

No, they shouldn't. It's the past. Don't dwell on the past, look towards the future.

 

[NYRangers78]

id like them to do a good version of " I can take you down"....

 

[Ellay]

I love the salome outtakes, there are some incredible pieces on there that never made the light of day, but I'd hate it if they went back to them.

That was 15 years ago - the band's moved on.

 

[rjhbonovox]

Shes gonna blow your house down has never been used and if that turned into ABOY then they totally fuc#in ruined it. Shes gonna blow was raw rock at its best, ABOY is plain fucking ordinary with a capital fucking PLAIN!
