This is probably the edge who uploaded this and he's getting a real kick out of reading all these comments on here. Its a real drool fest hehehe:lol:
 
Someone should compare this to the 2006 beach clips. This sounds more like something that would have come out of the Rubin sessions.
 
Count me among those who think it's real... it really does sound like U2. Which is not a bad thing, even if most of us want the album to be innovative. U2 has always had a distinctive sound, across all the styles they have tried.

But it's not any of the beah clips, that's for sure. I also have a feeling it's the solo from the title track.

And why would this appear now? Again, for ATYCLB 30 seconds clips were released via U2.com before the album came out. They were supposed to come out one at a time but someone managed to trick the site and we heard them all at once. So something similar could be happening now. Or maybe this is even all a marketing ploy from U2 themselves...:hmm:
 
Like mentioned before... we should know soon enough if it gets taken down. I would say if it is up longer than a half hour from now it is probably fake. If it is down.... he's legit.

the beach clips are there for weeks now, no one's taking them down...

:hmm:
without vocals in the clip I'm not gonna say if it's real or fake, I don't want to look like a fool when it's proven to be real/fake in a few hours/days :wink:

I like it, and that's all from me... :wave:
 
If this sounded any more "innovative", absolutely none of you would believe it's legit, so it cracks me up that there's some doubt springing forth because it sounds too much like U2. Is there any possible way that this could ever sound legit to you guys? :lol:
 
sounds like larry's drumming style and edge's guitar..........but something is not right.
 
.... i can assure u > It's 10000 % FAKE!!:down:

THis is the solo of "The ground beneath her feet" mixed in reverse!!

I think I can now put my finger on what it is that is making me think and KNOW this is not U2:

That drum fill at the start of the clip - so unlike Larry on how he does fills. FAKE.
 
This sounds more like what HTDAAB wanted to be than what HTDAAB was; of course, I really like HTDAAB.

But this is very believable to my (uneducated) ear.

And VERY promising.
 
Guys, another thing you all need to look at...

This 15 year old kid has uploaded all of his videos within the last 3 hours...

He just happen to stumble upon a 30 clip as he was uploading his fave band reckless? And he's obviously had account issues before...
 
I'm a guitarist and i take it very seriously, playing and recording with bands etc...

and as much as it sounds like it could be edge, its more then likely not.

Dont get me wrong, it sounds absoultly fing amazing! if its U2 ill be extatic! but i just dont know if it is...

Same I hope so badly that this is U2 and if it isn't i'm gonna bash myself with my keyboard. :wink:

It would fit with the overall theme of a darker, more achtung baby U2, fused with edges modern sound, and their overall cleaness.

Like I said before, if its not U2, I have a brand new second favourite band.

I agree, if it isn't U2 i'll be annoyed but then i'll fall in love with the actual band. I don't know what to think now, 75% of people in here don't think its that good.
 
i'm about 50/50 on this being real/fake to be honest. i agree with the person who said that if this is a fake, it's one of the better produced hoaxes i've ever heard.

I will admit, I thought the same thing. The guitar sounds like Edge to me, but it doesn't sound like any descriptions of anything from the album. (yes, I know, it's only 30 seconds.) Who knows though. Like it's been said, we need to hear the vocals. 30 seconds isn't really enough.

Apparently he got kicked off his last username for breaking copyright laws :D
