    They got rid of that long section where Bono would do a snippet and the intro no longer has the studio vocals "It's a Beautiful Day... Don't let it get away"
    And they go straight for chord changes in the bridge which they haven't done before.... with some funky bass from Adam, I like it!

    I know another poor decision, it’s too easy for people trying to defend it as a great song, selfish in fact, if you can’t put yourself in a victims shoes and sympathise with that and realise why it’s wrong then there’s something wrong with that.
    It's easy to say that, and they're not something I'd choose to play or sing myself at a show or in my home either these days but like I say people have grown up with those songs way before we knew what he was like, and likely awhile before you were even born too, they're out there in popular culture and can't be unheard. Like Michael Jackson stuff too... its hard to completely forget something like Don' Stop Til' You Get Enough' - at some point in time you'll find a Jacko song infesting your brain and humming along to it. At the same time though, I agree it's not the best choice, but its a bit different when you have grown up with those songs, they're hard to just suddenly unhear.

    Oh I'm glad someone else brought up MJ first
  4. On a lighter note, UV is a great song
  5. Does Bono count as a Luminous Icon? He dd win Woman of The Year?
  6. i'm wondering if Bono will hit the hight note in the "now we lie together" part
  7. UV album version is perfect.
