I have a clip of U2 playing Neon Lights from ages ago if anyone wants it, its not bad!

 

[alh77]

I figured the Beautiful Day 2004 Remix would be a b-side...

 

[Tizer]

Wow. very rare that the NME goes out on a limb without some knowledge. Kraftwerk eh...it's the early 90's U2 all over again...

 

[AussieU2fanman]

'Are you gonna wait forever' sounds like a nice track.

 

[U2girl]

B-sides!

 

[Lo-Fi]

That'll be cool, we can expect U2.com to tell us the same in a couple of days then eh?! Some actual songs instead of b-sides full of remixies.

 

[Axver]

Uh, folks, Beautiful Day had TWO original b-sides. This one only has one - with an intriguing title - and a cover and, gasp, a REMIX.

Don't expect too much.

 

[brownda7]

Yeah remember 1987 each single had 2-3 b sides!

Hey AussieU2fanman, can you send this "Neon Lights" mp3 to me please: Dragon_316ca@yahoo.ca.......?

thanks

 

[Jim]

Surely there will be a 'proper' video for Vertigo, rather than a video of them playing in the studio?

 

[AussieU2fanman]

sure dude, anyone else want Neon Lights snippet from U2?

 

[AussieU2fanman]

of course there will be a different video for the Vertigo single. But I would LOVE to see them in the studio playing vertigo! I CAN'T WAIT!!

Rat bastards! Now I have to buy TWO singles at fucking IMPORT prices to get a real set of b-sides.

Maybe I'm just tired from last night and I'll get over it, but that's a lame thing to do.

 

[AussieU2fanman]

u guys know as well as I do that you'll buy every variation of everything U2 brings out, including the 2cds and the DVD.

 

[innocent_eyes]

what the fuck is up with that? Why 2 cd formats???

 

[AussieU2fanman]

so we can give U2 more money so Bono can buy another island(s) in the pacific.

 

[Lo-Fi]

AussieU2fanman could you send it to me please? lofi.landscape@gmail.com

 

[AussieU2fanman]

BTW what is up with the Jacknife lee Vertigo song? Is this just a remix of Vertigo? She also gets a Libson video? What's going on?? Is Jacknife lee going to be the mix of the officical video? Who the hell is Jacknife lee?????

 

[innocent_eyes]

Could you send me neon lights AussieU2fanman?

thanx! achtung_baby16@hotmail.com

ps: i'll buy one single, my bro the other, NOT 2 each, lol!

 

[innocent_eyes]

Why Nov.8 also, they better move this to mid October if they want the single to creat better hype and sell more to casual U2 fans.

might as well wait for the friggin album. Don't imports to NA take longer also?

 

[Lo-Fi]

Jackknife Lee worked with a little on Pop I believe, maybe they liked working with him.

What's all your hope's for the video? I hope it's a stripped back video like The Fly, and not something like Elevation.

 

[bedouin fire]

sure dude, anyone else want Neon Lights snippet from U2?
