Songs Of Experience 9 (albums aborted and counting...)

Looks like he has had a face job

I think they just botoxed a smile on his face.


He's going for a Mickey Rourke kind of thing.

It's happening, they're reinventing themselves.

After my millionth listen to (admittedly the phone quality, remixed version of) The Best Thing

Haven't listened to it in more than a week, though every now and then it pops up in my head. You're going to be tired of it by the time it comes out.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

My favorite U2 albums are the ones where the 1st single isn't the opener on the album. Let it be track 2-7 and we'll have a winner.

 

[david]

is that Bill Maher?

I think it's Mickey Rourke.

I know man, i know. I have no self control!

Hopefully the real single is unique from the remix, so there's at least a little bit of surprise there.

I am at work and shouldn't be on here but I did see that Apple is doing some big announcement on Sept. 7th. Who knows this could be when they announce something. Bare with me I am sleep deprived.

They're announcing the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 2. It has nothing to do with U2.

I never said that it did have anything to do with u2, but they could still pull out a suprise. With how well that went the last time I doubt it.

 

[prbiker15]

Wouldn't be surprised if they had some kind of tie-in with an updated Apple Music, although I read that Universal Music has banned streaming exclusives after Frank Ocean released his album.

 

[dan_smee]

Wouldn't expect anything, though two things have me slightly intrigued about how they may tie in at some point:

1. The talk of SOE using a medium being developed with Apple, and
2. The Apple VR bus and SFS VR video that seemed to be ramping up said new format last year.

Holy shit... poor larry. He DOES look like Mickey Rourke with a botched nose that was glued to his face. Could it be the angle and lighting ?

At least, he looks happy ! If Larry is happy, great things are coming

 

[aMansAman]

Doesn't Larry look like this guy rather?

I was checking and the Dan Smee The Best Thing audio clip has more views than The Miracle(of Joey Ramone) has on YouTube.

Just kidding

Not yet.

 

[PopFly]

After my millionth listen to (admittedly the phone quality, remixed version of) The Best Thing, i'm thinking it would work best as a set closer rather than opener, despite being the lead single.

It's not quite fast/alive enough to open a show, but it's got a great feel-good vibe on which to end things, and being able to successfully close with a new number 40 years into their career is probably something they'd love to be able to do.

Assuming the SOE tour setlist has the same general concept of the SOI setlist, I could see EBTTRT starting the second half, then Best Thing, then Mysterious Ways

Premature to say. We have no idea what kind of live monsters lurk in the weeds of SOE

 

[popacrobat]

Don't think it's crazy speculation though. Bono said in 2011 he'd release the new Even Better Than The Real Thing as a single if he could. Fits the dancey, fun part of the set perfectly (I mean, as perfect as a beach and phone clip can be - but it's clearly upbeat, happy and poppy. I mean "Thing" is prominent in it too).

Would not shock me at all if that prediction is right.

Hopefully ones that replace Iris, EBW, and SFS at every show.

 

[dan_smee]

I'm hoping we get a full band EBW on this leg. If only for train spotting value.

I'm hoping for a murderer's row of live tracks from the new album, much like we saw from Achtung Baby

I love Mysterious Ways but I hope it has a rest, it's been played pretty consistently for a while and isn't anywhere near as good as it was since Vertigo Tour and earlier.

Somehow I can't see Ebert and The Best Thing being played consecutively. Maybe one earlier and one to close the set a la Vertigo x2

What about Qbert? I always liked him more than Ebert.

I have no idea why they ditched the solo. It's not like Larry or Adam couldn't lay down the groove for another minute.

One of Edges best live moments is when he hits those first slide notes.

Maybe they felt it was to be more of a sing-a-long aspect so the solo cuts into it.

Or more likely, they lazy
