Whats the special announcement tomorrow?

The best thing about this is the new Bono vocal.

Pretty awesome considering how passionate the original vocal is and how he could never seem to get this one just right live...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I liked mikal's whining the best.

 

[TheEdge10]

I was excited for something like new live tracks or something... And then we get another god damn remix.

No.

 

[redhill]

No.

Yes.

 

[djerdap]

Nah.

 

[mobonofo]

I love how the homepage comes right up with a subscription offer.

This was all a ploy to get people off from work to sign up and pay for subscriptions and give this band more money.

What a joke.

PS the remix sucks.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I like where this is going. Well done, Cobbler.

 

[purpleoscar]

I'm glad I got lots of work done today instead of anticipating a new single.

Oh well "early evening".

Heavy breathing.

Good vocals

Perfect for a world cup soccer game

[Cactus Annie]

oh drat

 

[digitize]

oh drat

I think that sums up this entire thread nicely.

 

[Cactus Annie]

Thank you digitize

 

[Steved1998]

This is all pretty funny if you think about. A brilliant troll by U2. com

 

[PhilsFan]

What a weak vocal. Bono sounds so old trying to sing this song and has pretty much for 20 years. Just not a song he can do anymore.

 

[gvox]

I'm not about to sift through 25 fucking pages to see if anyone else asked this:

Fuck the vocal, why not a loop of Edge's guitar riff?

I could actually do a better remix than this, using just that classic riff...I might use a chorus or two (circa 1984), and the oh-oh-ohs maybe ..but the riff is KEY.

Spoiler

Tiesto sucks.

 

[gvox]

Search "red dance one aids love africa heal pray pride" on YouTube and it'll come up

"feel kneel" also

I think your new favorite hobby is disagreeing with me...

There are worse hobbies I guess ;]

 

[silkensky]

They generated all that hype for THIS? Sorry but the remix is pretty shitty. Oakenfold should be the only allowed to do official remixes.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Did anyone honestly expect an album announcement? Really? Really really?

 

[dan_smee]

Maybe not expected, but had a realistic 5% hope maybe?

I definitely expected more than the remix though. The way they hyped it was criminal for what it really was.

 

[KUEFC09U2]

Some people really can't get past bono's age can they?

Oakenfold?? Seriously? His remixes are all the same with different vocals. They also have the 5 minute instrumental bit that is boring as batshit.

Gaffney does listenable and interesting remixes.

[SecretFly]

So whats happened guys? Have they released anything?



EDIT: Just read the thread in Everything you know is wrong.........Ha very funny...gotta luv U2 for giving us false hopes of releasing something big. Oh well.

 

[Axver]

I never expected anything other than a completely lame announcement of something completely lame, like this completely lame remix, but I'm amazed U2.com managed to hype this up more than they've hyped up bloody new album and tour announcements. Talk about misplaced priorities.

 

[standrums]

Totally deflating news... last night I couldn't get onto U2.com as it was overloaded...I was seriously pumped with excitement at seeing this...I thought it must be a new single! U2 had dropped it by surprise to really get the hype going...nice one!... And then I discover it's this pants remix of Pride... my word... what were the bods at U2.com thinking?

I think when any new material is actually announced/released the place is going to go wild!

I think there is a lot of pent up demand!

[cobl04]

Nick my heart yearns for you

 

[mikal]

Did anyone honestly expect an album announcement? Really? Really really?

I've been burned from them enough to expect anything, but I will admit that a small part of me thought they may at least broadcast a rare live recording only because they hyped it up more than they did the new album or tour announcement.

i guess that is one positive thing that came out of it - at least everyone is aware that the demand is there and people seem pretty desperate to hear new material from the band...
