Bit annoying they seem to have stopped the video clips. One a day for four days and then they take the weekend off and don’t start on Monday?

 

[Rich79]

So frustrating because I want to know what the actual bass is going to sound like. If Clayton kills it like she did...whoa!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i assumed that she was pretending to play along and the sound was from the track... but i'm also an idiot.

He's been heavily involved with EdVed/Pearl Jam the last year, touring with both. And opening the PJ shows with Pluralone.

Can’t wait to see the cringe videos to go along with the reimagined songs

what in the bloody hell is going on here...

Re-imagining of course...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

it's not the music that made me go bug eyed...

 

[womanfish]

a couple things. First, SBS version sounds WAY better than that cringer they posted last year on IG.

Second, I like that they are actually doing some crazy shit again. We've sat here for the last 20+ years bemoaning them not doing something different, just doing what they want and not to worry what anybody thinks, stop trying to be popular, blah, blah, blah.
The minute they do something kinda out there with having artists create videos for the songs, or redo songs in a way they want without thinking about radio play or having a hit, then it's all bitching and moaning again.

sorry, I don't see a middle finger emoji

How is Bono still able to pull off the falsetto for the reimagined Desire? That actually sounded pretty good.

I agree, there are some surprises here vocally. Do we get the full Beautiful Day on Friday?

 

[dan_smee]

Pretty sure desire is the Edge, right?

 

[dan_smee]

Also I am LOVING the puritanical boomer response to a video about periods. Isn’t it great when people out themselves as close-minded fucks?

Absolutely

yep. If this were a video from Muse or Yeah Yeah Yeah's, or countless other bands, people would be talking about how brave it was. I've been a fan since 84, but it's hilarious to see people still stuck in 84.

Ok, so hearing a few more these clips. I gotta say, I am really digging 11 O'clock Tick Tock. This may be the first of the bunch to rival, or surpass, the original. Stories for Boys probably somewhere in the vicinity.

What are everyone's favorites so far?

Those two.

But I am digging One a lot more than I did for the first week after it dropped. It’s raw and real, and I want more of that from them.
