Bonos vocals sounds very live, no mixed at all. It sounds like they just recorded it in one take and then not mixing it at all
no, not all songs are recorded live. some are pre-recorded, and then....wait... every song is recorded live in the studio?

I think he means that it doesn't sound as pieced-together as many U2 tracks. Sure, every song is recorded live in the studio, certainly to get a usable, dynamic drum tracks, but guitars, bass, keys, and vocals are re-done for clarity and precision. And of course, there is mixing of levels.
Don't jump all over the guy over technicalities - it is indeed a very "live" sounding song!
The vocals might have been done in one take. That's about it.

Then overdubs of synths, backing vocals etc...(some were probably flown over from the original track).
I don't think so...
From what I gather NLOTH 2 was the original version and then they decided to slow it down a little, thank god...
The overdubs wouldn't match up.
Well at least in the last minute they were wise enough to go with the superior version...

exactly, they both serve their purpose very well.Both are very good. It is a great song. For a one-off listen I prefer NLOTH 2, but for as a piece of an album, NLOTH 1 is clearly superior.
It does sound much like NLOTH was recorded live in the studio. Not in the big band room at Olympic, but in separate rooms, all wired to provide the clarity, but it does sound live to me
You know, in the digital era we occupy we have the liberty to actually enjoy both...

i personally think u2 blundered by not making nloth 2 the lead single, that would have represented the album in a far better way than sexy boots.
i prefer nloth 2 - better,faster
I would rather them just use the best song (or one of them) first and see what happens, naive as that may seem.
Or maybe I'm just looking for any reason U2 could have avoided using GOYB or NLOTH2.
