I've been listening to the original BBC Leak version of Electrical Storm, and I have to say that it is far and away the best version of Electrical Storm. I don't know why U2 changed it before officially releasing it but they did change it and they changed it drastically. How?
There were ALL KINDS of guitar parts in the BBC Leak version that just aren't in the official version. There a whole lot of guitar NOTES in the BBC version, and in the official versions the NOTES are replaced with CHORDS, making the whole thing less interesting. I'm not just talking about the chorus. During the verses on the BBC version, Edge has a beautiful riff going in the background that JUST PLAIN ISN'T THERE on the official versions. I'm not even going to try to name all the places in the song where there were guitar parts that were either heavily watered down or removed altogether because I'd be listing every part of the song.
I like the official versions of Electrical Storm, but the BBC Leak version is far and away the best version.
