Sinead's great there (and in general) and she'd regularly make a contribution to the live show every now and then, remember that haunting intro to the Slane version of BTBS, I think it was used at at least a handful of other European Elevation shows

Actually it's kinda funny, but if you take a closer look at the way Edge treats their back catalogue you'll notice that many songs, for the first couple of tours played live (or maybe from the second tour onwards) will get a rather progressive and innovative treatment, taking them quite further...

most fans/journalists for hype and ignorance reasons, tend to underplay Lanois role in U2's recordings. We should remember that he's a musical personality just as prominent as Eno, and anyone who had seen him performing, read Dylan's chronicles regarding "Oh, Mercy", or heard different artists...

guilty, your honor.

Danny lanois i love you!

how about reversing The Scientist slowing it down to a play time of 52 minutes, and breaking it to the exact track times. that way people will be sure that Eno had taken over the record...

I think it's definitely the album track, it's quite similar to the leak of it we had a year ago recorded outside HQ. but that recording was very confusing because it was NLOTH and Unknown Caller crammed into one. it was in very bad quality but you could hear the same high shouting monotonous...

Love and affection

they all ripped it off the bible Kings I and Kings II, it's so fucking obvious... It would be funny if the Punk Version is really 5:23, a calipso version in line with SFA's Juxtaposed With You, with the coconuts from Red Light singing "Welcome Aboard!!!" before every "You don't know how...

wasn't, but I'm pretty convinced about that

Terry Lawless, U2's tour keyboardist does mostly sequencing, kicking in tracks and stuff. besides, U2 got Terry up on stage on several occasions (Chamber arrangements of OOTS for example) and any fan with a fair share of knowledge or curiosity knows about him. Maybe they were referring to U2...

I think that the craziest aspect of the build-up to this album is, that for the first time since achtung baby, we were able to hear most of the songs way before the album's actual release, and still got a very vague idea of what they sound like... I mean, we had leaks of Magnificent Beach...

Let's sum it up 1 - Winter=White as Snow, for sure, as both titles were described in about every fucking interview as a stripped down acoustic ballad about a soldier in the desert going through his recollections. at most, its playtime was probably shortened from 6:00 to 4:40 or something. 2 -...

Tripoli is definitely Being Born, one of the reviews cited the lyrics as referring to a "boy of Cadiz returning home... the sea, at last" or something like that, and the RS or one of the other articles that mentioned tripoli referred to the same themes

this is one of 3 versions of what is commonly known as "She's gonna burn your house down". It was recorded @ Hanson ton studios in Berlin in 1991 LOCK PLEASE!!!
