I've been mostly a lurker here, but I also was on the Wire group. I can't remember what username I posted under. I too recall Jick's posts. While I'd seen other internet trolls before, they may have been responsible for coining that term. The good 'ol days where regular people who want to...

They are stating over 1 million requests for tickets. I find it funny because in the Zane Lowe interview video, Edge made a comment that, with a 20,000 seat venue it's not like they are going to play 100 shows. It seemed like he implied demand for the shows wouldn't meet the ~2M tickets that...

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. I find the production choice odd during the last part of this song. It's like they stripped out all the bass from that part. When I first heard it I thought it was an artifact of a bad rip, but now with the high quality rip, it's still there. It's so...

:huh: It's true. The Showman is very close to being the penultimate track. :wink:

oregonwhitesnake@hotmail.com would be greatly appreciative. Thx!

Has the album version of TBT been re-worked at all as the Edge insinuated?

If you pre-ordered through U2.com, did you check your account page for the download links? That's what they've done in the past. I'm trying to pre-order now but it appears their page is experiencing too much traffic or something.

I don't disagree completely but I'd take out Discotheque as an example. It was #10 Billboard Hot 100 and a #1 Modern Rock track. If The Best Thing reached that now, we'd say U2 is back in full form.

Looks like a few of those shots hearken back to The Sweetest Thing video. They know this is a fun little pop love song it seems and are willing to go with that.

Track 1 of SOE appears to be Love is All We Have Left with the first lines being, "There's nothing to stop this being the best day ever."

I don't think it's typical of them to live debut a song tuned down, although Bono probably wants to save his voice as much as possible now days.

Bono just confirmed the album release date is December 1st on Kevin and Bean.

Song for someone, "and there is a light, don't let it go out". Songs of experience is what happens when you realize the lights do go out and the aftermath.

My bet is Ryan Tedder.

First impression - Manages to be a U2 "rock song" while sounding airy and effortless. Devoid of the previous trappings of the rock attempts of GOYB and The Miracle. The groove reminds me of the Crystal Ballroom for some reason. Any song that attempts to even be a veiled shot at the current...
