Winter (Song) (DISCUSSION ONLY)

[mobvok]

This be good!


Very Coldplay, Viva la Vida-like start......

 

[vaz02]

Early 80's Bono vocals with a opera twist at the end, very VLV.

 

[dan_smee]

Awesome song... where would it fit on the album for you?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fuck me, that shit does sound like Viva La Vida at the start. That's hilarious on so many levels.

 

[mobvok]

Awesome song... where would it fit on the album for you?

To be honest, if this replaced White As Snow I'd be happy.

....Or SUC/ Crazy Tonight, and dilute the pop trio a little.

 

[dan_smee]

i think right after SUC... nice otro into fez segue, adds some more quality to the second half

 

[simonapplewhite]

It didn't do much for me -- WAS is much better IMO.

 

[Niceman]

I need to listen MANY more times to sort out what I think.... but I wish it were better quality. Gets fuzzy at certain spots. Hopefully someone with a DVD copy will be able to download soon? Anyway, very grateful to get to listen at all!

Experimenting with putting it between WAS and Breathe on the album.

To be honest, if this replaced White As Snow I'd be happy.

"It's hot as hell, we were like butter on toast!"

- The Bono

 

[LemonMelon]

The quality of the rip is pretty poor, so it's hard to pick out the specifics, but...

I'm glad it didn't make the album.

 

[mobvok]

Oh, I totally found a bit of one of the U2.com clips in here. Check that off the list....

 

[LemonMelon]

To protect the ones
We put bullets in guns

 

[JUSTinPUSHPLAY]

here's hoping a HQ version pops up really soon, btw i'd too but it right after Stand Up Comedy, and I will when a clean copy shows up

 

[UKTan]

"It's hot as hell, we were like butter on toast!"

- The Bono

I was really, really hoping I'd mis-heard that line. But I guess I didn't

It's going to need a lot more listens I think

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Shit. I love it. Not a standout but it really should be on there. Lyrics are muddled and it kinda is VLV at first. Love the feel of it though - it's a bridge song.

I hope the DVD is better quality. The rip that u2.com put up sucks. The rip can't fix what's already broke.

 

[Niceman]

Assuming we didn't just lose quality in the video-audio transformation, this really is substandard. Those people getting the download deserve higher sound quality!

 

[LemonMelon]

I hope the DVD is better quality. The rip that u2.com put up sucks. The rip can't fix what's already broke.

True, I forgot this was ripped off of U2.com.

But damn, I'm really not liking what I'm hearing. If it was between this and White As Snow, I'd take White As Snow every time.

 

[Axver]

Well, that was a nice little number. Inoffensive and would've certainly worked on NLOTH. I can see why they chose not to include it, but keeping this wouldn't have done anything detrimental to the album. I keep feeling like NLOTH is over slightly too soon anyway, so Winter would be a good way to add a few more minutes of enjoyment at no cost.

Also, I can't believe anybody would want to take WAS off the album. But I suppose songs like RTSS and Heartland weren't instant classics back in the day either.

 

[lemon_vr6]

Would gladly trade WaS for this. Comparing WaS to RTSS is lunacy.

[Mr. V]

WAS > This. But I don't know how I feel about this. It's OK I guess, it'd be great to get a good rip but. Can't wait for the box set.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

It doesn't have to replace anything. Certainly not White As Snow.

 

[Niceman]

White As Snow was more experimental. Not judging the quality of the song yet, but WAS was a further journey into unexplored territory than this is.

 

[mobvok]

It doesn't have to replace anything. Certainly not White As Snow.

Ack, I hope I didn't spark a big argument! I'm just not into WAS yet, I'm ready to give it time, though....

BTW, there should be a quick, dirty rip of the song up if you do a youtube search under my name

 

[lancerla]

Comparing this to Coldplay is like comparing Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock. It's so obvious, it becomes painfully funny.

 

[Niceman]

Well, the comparison between the two songs is valid. It seems they dropped Winter for White as Snow....

Actually, they seem to have a lot in common!!!

 

[Mirrorballman83]

like it, but not a shame it's out of album

the beginning is too much VLV

White As Snow much better
