The story is well-known: Red hill mining town was meant to be the first single from The Joshua Tree, but the decision was changed because they thought the video was really bad (or was it because Bono had difficulties singing it live?). Instead With or without you was released and the rest is history.
What if they had released Red hill as planned? It's a good song but nowhere near the class of With or without you in my opinion. How would it have influenced the succes of The Joshus Tree? Maybe U2 would not have become the biggest band in the world. Or do you think that is going to far?
