It DOES suck, but I'm a completist....
Same here.

Yeah, this really sounds like a turd of a remix. How unfortunate. Mysterious Ways and EBTTRT had some great remixes. Whatever happened to doing remixes like that? Where the remixers actually expand upon and add to ideas in the song already, rather than just add some stomping kick drum on the quarter notes, et al... Now I sound like a curmudgeon. Oh well.
Save those remixes for I-tunes. Put the real b-sides on a cd or dvd!!!!
I would actually prefer the "Meet Me In the Sound Tour"
I believe the b-side on the physical release in the UK is NLOTH2 _ which when i listen to with (bose) headphones is just completely brilliant _ the show opener to the "Get me In The Sound" tour Mike
NLOTH2 with Bose headphones
It does sound pretty great.
This thing? Yeah I guess it was played on BBC Radio1. The beginning is excruciating.
YouTube - U2 - Get your boots on Crookers remix
EDIT: okay, the whole fucking thing is excruciating.
Man, when is this era gonna be over???
U2 stuffing hundreds of different kinds of remixes down our (and everybody's!) throat which really nobody's interested in!
* Fans (in general) don't like them, and are hungering for years for relevant good b-side tracks. Almost with every album (like this one) they are making the fans drool with the message that they've written 30 or 40 songs..(which I've always doubted anyway!) and yet with every new single we get send in the woods for another 20 or 30 stupid remixes of (sometimes) previous album-tracks.
* Then why still do it? Are they still trying to get all the dancefloors hot, and decennia later still trying to outsmart John travolta in Saturday Night Fever with their crappy remixes? I visit all kinds of hip clubs regularly and I've never come across a these stupid U2 remixes! Luckely! Not one DJ is interested is this crap.
Still we'll get with the new single-cd of "Magnificent": (mark my words!)
* Magnificent (The SoOpEr-DOoper-Trippy-Mix)
* Magnificent (The Trance-WareHouse-House-Mix)
* Magnificent (The Snoop-Dog-Bling-Bling-Mix)
And the "special" edition will have:
* 50 Magnifi-Cent (Rap-duet with 50-Cent)
* Magnificent (R&B-version duet with Beyoncé)
* Discotheque (The Hedidoximale-whatever-Remix)
* Vertigo (Trance-Club-Of-Blinded-Fans-Mix)
Well, aren't these wonderful true surprises, or better: gems, for us fans after waiting for almost 5 years??
(read: succeeded attempts to crush and destroy a wonderful song with numourous, no-use remixes!)
And then knowing they have maybe 50 or more finished original tracks laying on dusted shelves on which the new ones will be stored too probably...
