Inspired by and paying homage to LemonMacphisto’s amazing revisionist list (and kind of riding his coattails) I too have come up with an insanely long list chronicling U2’s career on a different earth. It’s kind of a prequel to my original “re-imagining” of the last few years of U2’s career. I only read LM’s list once, but after putting together my list I went back and re-read his and was surprised to see how similar certain things were…

I also noticed how some things that U2 have done are perfection in my eyes, no need for re-imagining. So they remain as they are. And some things that I think are perfect got a little bit of tweaking, a lot of work went into the singles, nothing major…

I’ve also been spending the last week or so listening to some of these new tracklisting and so forth. I think they sound good, not better than the real thing (except in the case of ATYCLB) but good enough…

Hopefully you’ll enjoy!

Right at the end of the ZOO TV tour, U2 releases a dual VHS/CD that chronicles their triumphant Dublin Zooropa Show. The CD, like the VHS, are on sale for a limited time and are quickly snatched up by the fans. Years later, they go for mega-bucks on eBay, while other fans wait for the day that U2 eventually (hopefully) release this show on DVD.

U2 – POPMART IN MEXICO VHS is released

U2 decide to do some ‘house cleaning’ by releasing a 3 CD set (or you could purchase them individually) that chronicles their past “trilogies”. Using the first track and last tracks of said ‘trilogy’, they book-end each CD to show who they were and where they were musically in those time periods, not necessarily the hits.

They also release three singles for each time period, each containing one song not originally released as a single, accompanied with live tracks from that era.

While on hiatus from the VERTIGO tour, U2 reported to be working on brand new material in France.
Rough versions of new songs appear on Interference.com in no time.
Dubbed ‘New Songs VS The Waves VS The Two Spanish Guys Talking Songs’, the new tracks reveal a rougher sound, basic and raw.

Only time will tell if U2 plans to release a new EP or album while on tour.

Fans salivate anxiously…
 
Some good ideas-- Zooropa looks pretty good and stays with the original idea of the album for example. I also agree that Rattle and Hum should have been 1 disk studio, 1 disk live.

But..

1. I don't think the "Trilogy" idea is very good. Simply not enough good songs in the Boy to War era to warrant a compilation album.

2. ATYCLB is ruined IMO. :rant: Why remove When I Look At The World!? One of U2's most underrated songs IMO. Wild Honey is also great and Grace is the perfect closer for the album. Love You Like Mad or Stateless would not be an even tradeoff for those songs.

3. HTDAAB-- Get OOTS back on this album. Removing the best song from this album really really weakens it IMO.

Of course this is all subjective but...

1. Having listened to the Boy to War Trilogy playlist for the last few months, I'm amazed at not only how well the songs flow together, but how much better some of these songs are. You can really hear the genesis of something great in there. Tracks like I Fall Down, A Day Without Me and Drowning Man really stand the test of time.

2. ATYCLB in my opinion (was gonna use IMO but ATYCLB IMO sounds like it's a deluixe ,special edition album...but I digress) is a flawed album. The running order doesn't work, it's too stop/start and there are some songs on there that are good, but as a b-side, they could be great songs. WILATW is that way for me. As a b-side, I think it's great, but on ATYCLB as it stands now, it has the same effect on me as Stateless of LYLM has for you. Once again, this is all subjective.

3. OOTS's inclusion on 'See The World' is simply because it existed around that time and I think fits with the ecstatic-ness of the album. HTDAAB (or as I called it Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, none of this Dismantling For Dummies stuff ofr me) is an album dying to be exclusively introspective. And while I think it's their strongest album in a long time, I think it seemed to gel better on See The World.
 
I'd put Heartland on JT and Trip through your wires on Rattle and Hum. Also U2 version of She's a mystery to me on Rattle and Hum, and those would be live/studio separate discs.

HMTMKMKM on Zooropa and U2's version of Slow Dancing and drop Some days... and Daddy's gonna pay.

Miami off Pop and North and South of the river instead.

ATYCLB: Levitate and Summer rain instead of WILATW and POE, and Falling at your feet instead of Grace.

Simply for the fact that the video will feature all of the Inteference fans.
Ergo, i.e., therefore...we get more airtime!
