'U2 Achtung Baby 30 – Live' This could be interesting and great. In all likelihood though, the tracks selected will probably be previously released live b-sides . What I'm most curious about is what they will use for So Cruel, since it's only been done full band live twice in 1992. I imagine...

https://www.u2.com/news/title/a-celebration-for-record-store-day/# I'm very interested to hear an alternate studio version of A Celebration. I'm curious if it's a different performance or just a difference mix. I also wonder if this means the regular version will be a new master sourced from...

While we are still working on our ninth studio album, my band decided to record an album of covers to stay sane. The idea was to take a break every fourth week and record a cover to keep the musical juices flowing, and have fun without the pressure of writing from scratch. One of the songs is...

I couldn't find a thread on this... U2's entire catalog has been mastered for iTunes and went up last week and all albums are on sale at $5.99. SOI and JT30 had already been MFiT, but all the other are up there now too. For those not aware, MFiT is where the compressed AAC is ripped from...

Why is Larry's tattoo essentially on both covers of SOI, and also on the vinyl labels? The B&W with this son (great cover), it just happens to be on him, but it seems odd that it is also on the iTunes release cover and huge on the vinyl labels. Surely there is artistic intent behind this. I'm...

This article is long but a great read. Pop Turns 20 - Stereogum As a HUGE fan of their '90s material, and the shift post-2000 they made, I feel the author totally nails everything that was great then and less than great now. The last paragraph is harsh but true:

Whoa. Amazing. Love that loop he set up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHZn7ZCahNk

What is Bono's black Zoo TV guitar of choice? A ES-135? 137? 139? What year? I don't think I've ever seen another ES-13? that has those dual slanted inlays...

This is an even less likely release than my 20th Anniversary Zooropa release, but honestly, if they haven't released a new album by xmas 2013, I would bet both of those come out for the empire to keep growing. And I think it would be seriously cool to release both those reissues at the same, as...

A proposed 2013 Zooropa reissue tracklisting, ensuring no overlap with the Achtung reissue box. Bonus Disc 2: 1) some-new-unreleased-jam/demo-turned-into-real-song a la other reissues 2) an unheard demo (IGWSHA maybe?) 3) Numb (2002 Mike Hedges Remix) 4) Stay (Faraway, So Close!) (Soundtrack...

So, ashamed to admit, I only recently got the 2nd bonus disc from The Joshua Tree and UF reissues. I had been resisting it for so long, because I had always liked the track listing of B-Sides 1980-1990, and didn't want to mess with that. But oh man, how I love the virtues of Rise Up. Very easy...

Ya know I go through phases where I think it's the best song they've ever done - and I'm on that kick right now. I threw on Passengers and forgot how much I love it. I think Slug is better then some/most official U2 songs on their albums. Let me get an amen on Slug!

The hiss was driving me crazy: http://homepage.mac.com/joedury/Mercy.mp3 A bit of remastering - Merry Christmas. In exchange, can someone PLEASE email me or email me a link to a high quality mp3 (192kps or higher) of the soundtrack version of Stay at joedury@mac.com ? I'm going insane trying...

Have any of you used an E-Bow. I'm thinking of getting one for infinite sustain; maybe I should just get a Fernandes guitar. Anyway, are they pretty cool? Wanted to get some opinion before i plunk down 100bucks. jgd

Any guitarists out there know what that sound Edge is using in the intro to Gone is? I thinks it's a Flanger with tons of overdrive, but I can't seem to duplicate it. I know everyone knows this, but Edge is an OK guitarist; but he's a freakin' genius when it comes to creating a sound. He's like...
