U2:DUALS Update?

[Danny Boy]

Wasn't this supposed to be "available by the end of 2010?" should't we have at least heard something about the track listing by now?

 

[corianderstem]

Ha - I'd forgotten all about this.

 

[bono_212]

I'll do you one better, I don't even know what this is.

 

[corianderstem]

It's the new/upcoming fan club release if you renew or sign up for a paid subscription at U2.com.

 

[bono_212]

oh Jesus, is it U2 duets or something?

 

[corianderstem]

I don't think there's been any details released yet, but that's the assumptions - duets and/or collaborations.

 

[Galeongirl]

Lol I totally forgot about this thing.

 

[LemonMelon]

YouTube - Bono & Alicia Keys: Don't Give Up Africa (live!)

YouTube - Mary J. Blige, U2 - One

YouTube - Bono- New Day (Wyelef Jean & Bono , Pop Version)

Best comp EVER.

The fan club has taken it to the next level of pointless if that's what this is.

 

[corianderstem]

I really love the Alicia Keys duet.

 

[LemonMelon]

I like the Willie Nelson/Sinead version SO much better. It's a weird-ass combination, but I'm not even kidding.

 

[corianderstem]

I've never heard of such a thing!

*off to YouTube to see if it's there*

 

[bono_212]

I was watching the Alicia Keys version when I stumbled upon the Willie/Sinead collab, ridiculously awesome.

 

[corianderstem]

I liked it a lot until the bridge (?) section, when the country twang kicked in. I didn't like the song with that feel to it.

But Willie and Sinead? Awesome anyway.

 

[Niceman]

I kind of expect this to suck really hard. I mean, when I think of the worst work U2 has ever done..... the only reason why I don't think of the Blige version of One is because I'm repressing the memory.

 

[chocky]

Typically this will be late...so I reckon April next year, even though my subscription ended (and was renewed) 2 months ago already.

I actually hope they include Scarlet feat Jay-Z. That collaboration actually surprised me. But I expect, if anything, we'll get the Auckland version of Sunday Bloody Sunday that already streamed for members on U2.com this month.

 

[nirniva]

YouTube - Bono & Alicia Keys: Don't Give Up Africa (live!)

I misread "Alicia Keys" as "Black Keys" at first. Now THAT would be cool.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

oh Geez, cant they (u2dotcom) just keep this thing and save the postage? I doubt i would ever listen to it, much less take it out of the package.

 

[mikal]

ok, let's take bets folks. which will come first?

- New Album
- U2 Duets
- Detroit Lions SuperBowl victory

We know that U2 albums always get delayed and U2.com is run by chimpanzees, so the only logical choice is number 3.

 

[subnet]

1,000,000,000,000 chimpanzees might get you results though

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

add me to the "I forgot about this cd" list.

 

[powerhour24]

Same.

i will go with option #4: the end of the world according to the Mayans

 

[Popmartijn]

At least U2.com is quicker than Pearl Jam's Ten Club.

As for the release itself, I hope it has the U2/Underworld collaboration that has been in the vaults for 13 years. (And for the token already-released-recording, the U2/Willie Nelson duet of Slow Dancing deserves a wider audience)

 

[corianderstem]

Assuming we're right about what'll be on the disc, I cannot wait to have yet another rousing discussion about how much the MJB version of One sucks.

 

[Popmartijn]

And keep in mind, this time last year everyone was also bitching about Artificial Horizon. That one turned out to be quite OK.

 

[Galeongirl]

Assuming we're right about what'll be on the disc, I cannot wait to have yet another rousing discussion about how much the MJB version of One sucks.

Discussion? What discussion?

There's no discussion possible in my book. THe version just sucks. End of discussion.

 

[corianderstem]

*sigh*

 

[Irvine511]

the MJB version is fucking awesomesauce. she makes it her own. i'm sorry, interference, but it's true.

 

[bono_212]

Agreed with Irvine.

It'll be great, also, to get a version of Willie Nelson "Slow Dancing".
