i want to clarify that it think that mix is one of the best parts of the reissue because it is one of the few u2 things i hadn't heard before that was worth hearing. not because it is itself so great. it's just interesting. also, i wish they hadn't added new vocals to some of those old...

is there somewhere i can download or see these booklets online for free?

for me it is the lanois mix of a sort of homecoming. followed by saturday night. nothing else in the way of 'special stuff' has been too thrilling. anyone agree? disagree?

i meant desert of our love instead of rise up, or whatever. i knew it was one of them but i didn't feel like checking. i like always better than beautiful day. are there any more examples like these? i just wrote them off the top of my head. one that might be similar is zoo station and that...

Native Son or Vertigo Always or Beautiful Day Lady With The Spinning Head or The Fly Lady With The Spinning Head or Ultraviolet Saturday Night or Fire Rise Up or I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

just watched the movie. a little let down. not guitar geeky enough. too much philosophy and not enough playing, tech. talk, etc...

Good points Dr. Who. It is not fair to do comparisons of two groups when one's career is only 5 years long, and is long done, and the other's is 30 years on, and still going. But even Bono's best lyrics, probably from Achtung Baby, don't compare to Morrissey's, Smiths era or solo. As for the...

Thanks for checking it out. Think about it in 3/4 time and slowed down. Check that video again. That guitar part comes in at 2:25 that is very much like the Love Is Blindness guitar "groans", especially as Edge played them live. You can hear a bit of the other one at Amazon.com : Music...

Morrissey is a better lyricist than Bono. In fact, Morrissey is the best English language lyricist of all time. But they come at lyrics from different perspectives, so that's cool. Johnny Marr is a better guitar player than The Edge. Marr has chops like no other and some of the greatest...

I like this French singer named Etienne Daho and recently noticed some similarities in a few songs. Daho's "chanson pour caméléon" and U2's "Kite". Listen to the verse melodies. Daho's track is from 1991. Kite is from 2000. Also, Dani (another Friench singer) and Daho's "comme un boomerang"...

Yeah I was just wondering what a world class producer gets paid. Secondarily, I wonder if he gets more or less than Lanois? Lillywhite? Do these producers have a flat rate or do their costs depend on the band? DO they know how much each other is getting? I doubt James could afford to pay Eno...

I know it's not polite to ask people what they get paid. If Eno was my neighbor or brother in law or something, I would not ask him. But it is fairly common to discuss the earnings of celebrities. And since this is a U2 forum, and since he is U2's producer, and since they sell millions of...

Thank you Edge Orchestra for the only legitimate answer to a legitimate question. To the joke answers, ha ha, :) . To the buttheads who gave me a hard time for asking such a simple, harmless question, you are, well, buttheads. Jeez.

Any idea what Brian Eno charges to produce an album? I realize he probably get percentage points and because of writing credits different royalties... But has anyone ever heard or read what kind of income he made and continues to make off U2, Coldplay, James, etc...?

Their halftime performance at Superbowl XXXVI was awesome throughout, and then the final moment of Bono opening his jacket to reveal the American flag.
