Well my band mate is really big into melodic textures and odd guitar sounds. Much like The Edge, he likes creating new sounds and melodies around fairly simple chord progressions (EBW is a ridiculously simple chord progression with lots of textures/subtle dynamics to flesh it out) So I think...

Yeah, so I'm hoping the film has some sort of 'redemption' angle or theme. For people worldwide to continually see Belfast as some sort of warzone isn't right or fair. My girlfriend, who told me about the shoot, and I were talking about it a lot last night and we agree it could very easily be...

I'll wait and see what the finished video/short film is, but as someone living in Belfast I can tell you I'm not overly impressed with this. It's tough being a 20-something in Ireland who likes U2, but I stick with them through thick and thin. I understand that themes on SoI deal with how U2...

Chris Martin will do a fine job. He seems a fan through and through, and in a time when it's so easy to hop on the anti-U2 train, this makes me excited to see what they get up to

I've been wanting a new U2 album for years but it's odd to feel like I don't want them to release anything today. The whole Apple thing just feels one step too far into 'corporate-ness'. And if you search U2 on Twitter right now, the reactions to the rumours start at 'negative' and get worse...

Heartland doesn't have a solo. But that guitar work is gorgeous.

It's the same notes as Edge uses in the pre-chorus of the 2004 version I think. e|--------------------------------------------------------- b|------------------7---5---3------0--3/5--7---5---3------- g|---------------------------------------------------------...

Mercy Tutorial (360° Tour) - YouTube This guy seems to have it down. The next video shows him playing all the parts in full with a backing track, Verse, Chorus, Post-Chorus, Solo etc. Hope this helps! For the record, I prefered it when the guitar part now used as the Solo was still the...

Thats what I thought, seemed to be, this must be a crucial time for them, they seem to be acutely aware of the importance of their next project/reinvention, pretty sad :(

Bono wants to release the 360 mix of EBTTRT as a single! That'd be awesome, though I think I'd prefer some tweaks, probably a studio recording of the guys playing the live version, as opposed to the actual current studio remix. Still, would be great :D

Zoo Station - Thom Yorke Even Better Than The Real Thing - Them Crooked Vultures/Queens of the Stone Age One - Sinead O'Connor (In the style of I'm Not Your Baby) Until The End of the World - REM Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses - Florence and the Machine So Cruel - The xx The Fly - This one...

I was wondering today if any decent recordings, maybe even an IEM had ever surfaced of the rearranged/remixed Magnificent the band tried? Would be very very interesting to hear...

‪Bono's band introductions in St. Louis U2 360 7.17.11‬‏ - YouTube Thought this flashback was cool :D

U2's The Edge: latest Glastonbury updates | Music | guardian.co.uk Wasn't sure where to put this, or if it'd already been posted, but Edge is updating a page on the Guardian newspaper website about his and the band's day at Glastonbury. It was linked on U2.com, and I thought it was a pretty...

Jamming/playing over the riff doesnt require extensive rehearsal, hell Larry could even use the same beat from the end of CT. Maybe it's just too much reading into it, but it seems Larry is almost allergic to anything Pop...

I think ramblin rose means that once Edge starts the riff from Discotheque at the end of CT, you almost expect Larry to jump in and rev it back up. Instead Larry reaches over for a bottle of water, leaving Adam and Edge standing there forced to wind down the riff...wasted opportunity IMO

I was thinking which Pop song would suit Radiohead best, and I had thought If God Will Send His Angels, but WUDM would be a great one :)

Maybe Eagles of Death Metal should have a go at GOYB, seeing as they were one of the main inspirations it seems! Their main singer even posted a video saying how flattered he was about it. Edit: I also love that Pearl Jam video of ASOH :D

A few years ago, think it was before the Honolulu Vertigo gig, I remember someone wishing that Eddie Vedder would duet on Bad, and on Youtube, a user wrote under a video for No Line on the Horizon, how they'd like Pearl Jam to cover it. Pearl Jam are one of my favourite bands, and naturally I'd...

I paused Miss Sarajevo to listen to that....

1) I'd have to agree with most here and say the Fly. Live and Studio versions just have an attitude that other U2 songs dont. That 'yeah we are shit hot, problem?' attitude that was to continue through ZooTV 2) Does Slow Dancing count? I recently discovered it and I have fallen completely in...

YouTube - U2 São Paulo 2011-04-13 Magnificent - U2gigs.com Anyone notice some different chord voicings in the verses? Edge seems to be tweaking the song, maybe this is a product of the supposedly reworked version they're working on, mentioned in Willie's diary?

If Zooropa replaces In a Little While...Forum explosion? :P

If Zooropa gets played, the refresh button will not be able to keep up with this party :P Have some balls U2!

YouTube - U2 La Plata 2011-04-03 Bad - U2gigs.com Simple Part B plays there near the end, but I still think it's great and adds to the mood, works surprisingly well over Edge's part
