Yeah Pop uses a lot of samples

Not to mention the Gone (New Mix)!
I do love the more "raw" versions of the songs (I don't like how they cut/sped up a verse in the live version in Mofo), but it's funny how most fans can agree that in these examples, the further-along versions are better - whereas most of the time, the same fans complain that U2 overbake their albums
But yeah - the guitar part that Edge added in the outro of the live version (it might be there in the album version but just super low in the mix?) is just out of this world.
"Ahead of its time" is a descriptor thrown around all too often, but I really feel as though it rings true for Pop. If U2 put out Pop right now - it'd blow people away, and I truly believe that.
