I checked to see if there was already a thread on this, couldn't see one. Are there any songs you think should have been on SOI that were featured on SOE, or vice versa? As we know, a lot of these songs were developed / written around the same time. Which ones don't quite fit the concept of...

Discuss.

Inspired by this thread: http://www.u2interference.com/forums/f189/would-an-achtung-baby-zoo-tv-30th-anniversary-tour-work-221232-7.html Assuming U2 do an anniversary show or tour for Achtung Baby (of course, they might not), what would you like to see in the setlist? I know some posters in...

U2's last few album releases have sparked a lot of discussion about what songs should be (or should have been) singles. Boots from NLOTH is widely derided, and The Miracle from SOI generally wasn't seen as a great choice (though not as bad as Boots). So, which songs from SOE do you think should...

Remember this one? An oft-overlooked gem that Bono and Edge wrote for Tom Jones. This year is the ninth anniversary of its release. I've long dreamed of making the part at 2:10 my ringtone, but I never have.

Thoughts on this song? I really like the confessional lyrics and the groove of the music, feels like Pop era to me. And the coda lifted from Iris is growing on me. I like both mixes, so I thought I'd make a hybrid of the two. The first two verses and chorus are the St. Peter's String version...

Are there any U2 songs you associate with fall, or any you find evocative of fall? For me, it's All I Want is You. I first heard it in the fall, on The Best of 80-90, where it had October tacked on as a bonus track (and obviously October is a "fall" track, lol). And then there's something about...

Mine is Streets. I first heard it on the Best of 1980-1990, and I remember one day I was surprised to find the song made me really happy... Lots of the other songs seemed angsty, or sad, or angry. The song still lifts my mood every time I hear it. What song is your favourite and why?

What are some song pairings you think would sound good live? I've always thought Lemon into Beautiful Day might work well. Ending with "Midnight is where the day begins" and then BD kicks in. And they've both got shimmery synths to connect them sonically. Another that could work is Discotheque...

Just wondering what the general preference is for Every Breaking Wave. Album version obviously means the one on SOI, acoustic could be either the Acoustic Sessions studio take or one of the many live versions they've done. I find the album version WAY overcooked, and in the live versions Bono's...

Do you have any ideas for fixing bad lyrics in U2 songs? Let's hear them. From Electrical Storm: I would change to: I wonder if anyone has a fix for this, from Winter:

I love Edge's voice. Wish he would get a chance to sing solo on new studio recordings or at shows. Anyway, what are your favourite solo performances by Edge? Here are a couple of mine:

I know some folks on this forum like to discuss how certain albums would have fared, given a different choice of lead single ("Discotheque," "Get on Your Boots," etc). I enjoy these sorts of speculative "alternate history" discussions, too. (I don't know how big a difference the lead single...

Do you have any funny U2/Pokemon mash-ups? Please share below!

I'm just reading an article about odor perception for class and I started thinking about the specific odors I associate with particular things. For example, when I bought a copy of Zooropa, I noticed that the album booklet smells like crayons. It still does, and I've owned that album for years...

Are you confused by this line in Volcano? Don't be. My theory: Someone said this line to Bono while he was working on SOI. Clooney: "So do you live here in France, or is this just a vacation?" Bono: "I... I don't really know. A little of both? Let me tell you something... Just the other day...

I've seen this thread pop up before, but let's play again. What songs currently not staples do you think should become staples at U2's live shows? And what songs currently staples do you think shouldn't be staples? Me, I'd like to see "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" become a staple. It...

What's up with this song? I'll give my thoughts. These are some of the most obvious Christian U2 lyrics, talking about forgiveness and redemption in Christ. Most of the time, Bono's more obscure in his references. Not here. I don't mind, I actually like it. The chorus comes under fire for...

There's nothing quite like the discomfort caused by Bono pretending to orgasm in front of 50,000 people. Or when you're listening to the end of HMTMKMKM and you realize that Adam was probably blowing Bono in the studio. My favourite is from the Mexico City version of Discotheque...

As you might have noticed, I love to waste time by making random tracklists. Now, are we all familiar with Sony's 'Essential' series? What would you put on a career-spanning U2 compilation that includes their hits & best album tracks? Here's mine: THE ESSENTIAL U2 Disc 1 01. I Will Follow...

I searched, but couldn't find a thread on this. What are your ideas for a future U2 tour? Is it time for them to do some clubs, maybe some rarities? Or do you have some nifty concept in mind? Please don't say ZooTV part 2. =P My two favourite ideas are U2 doing a show for more hardcore fans...

Does anyone think a DVD of this tour is likely for Christmas? (Mods - If this can be merged with something, feel free.)
