So, lads. Let's play a theoretical. One song that the Cock have never played live is coming back on this tour. What song is it?
Shuttlecock III: Raped by Wolves

That really, really early demo where Edge's amp is knocked over in the middle of the song.

If they've never played it live then how exactly is it "coming back"?
At any rate I'd go with something totally lame like Peace on Earth or White as Snow.
If you are speaking to me ...been a U2 fan longer...been part of this forum just as long...I have been trying to encourage talking about something else. Change the name of the thread...get rid of the raped part.

It's coming back from the obscure wasteland that songs that aren't played live inhabit.

Well done.
It'd be great if they played Acrobat or Fez. Both of these have the potential of being incredibly intense in a live setting if done right.
I would assume they would have literally had to play it live at some point to record the studio version
unless it was stitched together from nonconsecutive live parts
Drowning Man (they've rehearsed, but never pulled the trigger)
and maybe kick the tires on a full-band If God Would Send His Angels (one play in April 97)

I've always thought Alex Descends Into Hell.... would be great if they opened the encore with it.
Boomerang I or II would also rock live.

Can anyone imagine U2 playing Exit live ever again? No, and not just because of the controversy that attended it the first time. I don't think they do intense, anymore.

Don't lie, you aren't having any fun.
Tony Danza being a school teacher is my favorite most depressing thing, ever, I'm pretty sure.
I can hear Exit lead in by Helter Skelter and then Bono saying " we don't really mean it"

I wonder if Bono could intersperse Bullet The Blue Sky on the next tour with a rap about copyright enforcement.

Well that was a fun morning read.
In my silly tour predictions on U2gigs I've suggested Drowning Man, Promenade, Luminous Times, and Acrobat as faint chances for debut live performances. I've also suggested North and South of the River, which was only done once, and when I get up to HTDAAB I'm going to suggest A Man and a Woman, likewise only done once.
Every U2 tour since Elevation has had at least one old song played live for the first time, so hopefully the next tour will continue the trend.

And here you all thought I was the most annoying poster from the other place to invade your happy corner once in while.
I'll admit: I find using rape in shuttlecock a bit unfortunate and sometimes even some of the other titles make me wince. But hardly worth a protracted argument; if people don't understand the roots of shuttlecock or agree with it's premise they should probably stay away.
The mutt is just being a fuckwit and should keep wandering till he/she finds their home again.

I reckon Love Is Blindness has to be a good chance of returning for the next tour..

Maybe..but it and The Troubles would be kindof competing for the same mood/sonic landscape, dont you think?
Mind you, that never stopped them from playing similar examples..

Yeah, we missed lots of stray jocularity last night.

Stray dog, you need to drop this. IWB has explained herself. If you find it unsatisfactory then that's fine, but she doesn't actually owe you an explanation, and if you're only in here to complain about the title and raise concern about rape and usage of the word, then yes, you are concern trolling, and no, it's not okay.
Move on.
Move on.

Ok, the U2 Facebook video up today is quite amusing and rather cute.
And Invisidisco came on my gym ipod this morning, and I became convinced that they'll open some shows with it. Hopefully I won't be at any of those.
