In the months leading up to the release of ATYCLB, the band's website offered up, one by one, little flash animations that you could download and play on your computer. The file would play snippets of the new songs (Kite and When I Look at the World were the two I remember most) with very simple...

Hi All - I wondered if any Mac users out there could give me a recommendation for some sound-editing software. When I had a PC, I was an avid user of Creative's WAV-editing tools and used Roxio's CD Creator to convert formats and import audio from extranal sources like my turntable, cassette...

What appears on this page may change someday, but it's pretty funny now. http://www.amazon.com/Stop-Clocks-Oasis/dp/B000JJSRU2/sr=8-12/qid=1164911234/ref=pd_bbs_12/102-3979710-6059321?ie=UTF8&s=music

Seems like we're getting mixed signals on which version of Walk On is in the compilation. I've heard a rumor, based on "leaked" tracks, that it's 4:28 in length. I've also heard it's labeled the "Radio Edit." Here are all the studio versions I know of. Between 2000 and 2002, this was the...

Always Forever Now-->Always-->Beautiful Day Everyone obviously knows about the link between Always and Beautiful Day, but listen to all three of these and see if you notice cameos of some of the synthesized sounds from Always Forever Now in Beautiful Day (listen deep into the mix). And there's...

If I'm wrong on this, someone please set me straight. It seems like in a lot of inventories, setlist scribes will note that Bono did a lyrical snippet from "Hallelujah" at the end of, say, "Walk On" or "Running to Stand Still." I think this is terribly misleading. The live versions I've heard...

If you pay the postage, you may have any of the following 12-inch singles: The Unforgettable Fire single from Australia, which has the alternate versions of "A Sort of Homecoming (live)" and "Love Comes Tumbling." It also has "Unforgetable Fire" misspelled on the back. The Even Better Than the...

Does anyone know of a book besides the Bible that gives a histrorical account of Jesus's life? I'm curious to see what details outside of the scriptures have been learned about his life. I suppose I'm looking for something based in some anthropology and analysis of other, non-Biblical texts...

I apologize profusely if this topic has already been discussed. So I just checked out the movie trailer online for the new Jim Sheridan film, "In America." www.foxsearchlight.com/inamerica. As many of you probably already know, this is the movie for which Gavin Friday and Maurice Seezer wrote...

Does anyone know if it is going to be broadcast in some medium Tuesday? Does anyone have a method or plans of capturing it or posting an mp3 next week? Just curious. If it's on Italian television, maybe one of our Italian members could arrange something? Also, does anyone know what song they're...

I'm looking for a definitive answer on where the first release was recorded. Many of the pre-Boy compilations out there ("Shadows and Tall Trees," "Contract Demos") indicate it was recorded at Windmill Lane. That seems unlikely, though, because the band was signed only to CBS Ireland at that...

I shouldn't have waited, but for a long time I had hoped to order a bunch of T-shirts from U2.com from the last tour. But all they have left are the ordinary black ones. Anybody know where you can get other elevation-era T-shirts? Remember the green one, the blue one and the black one for girls...

I don't get what the fixation is on number of posts. I like having low posting numbers. I'm proud of my 47 posts. Wait, 48. Doh!

... Or anyone familar with Dublin. Can anyone describe for me the three locations referred to in "Walk to the Water"? What is the area near Summerhill like? Where is North Strand? (they're near each other, I think.) What is the Royal Hotel like, and where is that? Thanks much to all.

Can anyone recall material recorded in the interim period between Popmart and "All That You Can't Leave Behind," roughly April 1998 through September 2000? (I'm not asking about new material, necessarily.) Obvious releases were the Best Of collection and the Million Dollar Hotel OST. But I'm...

It seems like the guys are really putting their heads over the parapet with this one. A 7-track CD will be released in U.S. Target retail stores called "Rare and Remixed." It features a handful of tracks that were B-sides from the ATYCLB singles. If I were a casual U2 fan, I'd be wild about...

I thought I remembered there was a DVD released that had the Elevation video on it, with some other goodies that I don't remember. Remixes, maybe? I also thought I recently saw a Walk On DVD on ebay. Does anyone know where these can be purchased in the U.S.? And where can one find information on...

I'm about to get a new book on U2 and wondering what other fans can recommend. I read the 1988 "Unforgettable Fire" book and "Into the Heart" by Niall Stokes, but now I want to read more about the interceding years. I heard the Bill Flanagan book, "U2 at the End of the World" is good. What do...
