War Child
TBT is sounding great in that clip!
Just seen a video of a U2 tribute band covering the blackout,can't wait for the real band to play it live!
Yep. Gotta say, I like what I hear on this clip. Slightly slower, more pronounced Edge with a bit more "rock" guitar sound. Still has a bit of a groove to it.
I love the Blackout, but honestly it would have gotten nominal play on alt rock and rock stations. Wouldn't have been touched by AC, which is where they are more relegated to now.
This song is right in the wheelhouse of AC, pop and still good fit for alternative and rock.
Would have loved to hear the chorus and especially the bridge where I think the biggest change may be.
Super-yo rocks as usual by the way.
Grazie. Too kindHoly cow, great post.
I thought hold back is what Edge does bestSo based off the Kygo mix, I wasn't too excited, but this sounds remarkably different and I really like that guitar sound and feel like it wants to explode Edge style! The question is....will Edge do what Edge does best or hold back.
My optimism for this song just went from 50% to 80%.
7.5 million views for Blackout so far. Pretty cool
It is cool indeed, for a band like U2 who has many older fans, less into social media..
I just saw the new video of Taylor Swift (crap!), placed on youtube 2 days before The Blackout.....almost 169 million views. Can anyone explain me what's happening with this world?
What happened to this world is that kids these days don't know what good music is! TS is good music to them, any sugar coated crap pop is good to them.
I thought hold back is what Edge does best
I think the last line in the clip is "Wake up on a bed out of reach...."
I'm telling you all now, it's going to bother me if the line is:
"Best thing to ever happen to boy"
I don't like that structure...."a" boy, "me" boy....I don't care but from what I have always heard and saw on the Kygo screens.....it's just "boy" unless he is referring to U2s album Boy but that would be lost on the masses (I would think it works though)

I hope The Best Thing...has some sort of guitar solo. Too much restraint from The Edge but I know that's his default setting. Blackout seemed like a good opportunity to unleash a Fly like solo, although I like the song very much.
I just hope the song eliminates any trace of Kygo crap EDM. EDM is the scourge of the music earth for me, can't stand the soullessness and mind numbing qualities of it.
Yeah look at Coldplay - they are dreadful now. Martin was never a good lyricist but he's truly horrendous as of late and the music is cheesy as hell. I highly doubt The Best Thing has overt dance elements. If it does, it would reek of desperation for a hit.
