Originally posted by LikeASong:On the subject of this song, and the last minute decision not to make it JT's first single in favour of WOWY.... How different would the story have been if they had finally released RHMT as the first single? It certainly would have affected JT's popularity: the album most probably wouldn't have exploded in the brutal way it did thanks to WOWY and it wouldn't have catapulted the band to mega stardom. That might have stopped them from recording Rattle And Hum, or at least had it distributed in small theatres as the band intended instead of the big bang release that it was. Maybe the backlash against R&H wouldn't have engulfed the band and maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't have reinvented themselves with the Dream it all up again that crystallised in Achtung Baby and everything that came after.
Small decisions, massive consequences.
"You may not know this, but within a few days of finishing the album, "Red Hill Mining Town" was our leading contender for the first single. We went ahead and made a video for it with Neil Jordan and we were very pretty confident about it. Then as the weeks went by and we sort of got back our objectivity, views started to change and it became "With or Without You," and I think we were correct. "
