  1. Hahahhaa I thought the exact same!

    Listening but not necessarily liking. It’s intriguing. We’ve all licked a battery before after knowing it’s no good for you.
    lol good example. Guilty pleasure maybe? Anyways GOYB is dismal but not as bad as the Crazy remix.
  3. To be honest I think it’s the performances rather than the song. Larry playing at that pace and Bono was often very fired up during the song. The crowd went nuts at the start too. They just don’t have many songs that are that relentless from start to finish. It never lets up.

    There I can agree with you. The tempo is insane and Larry and Adam did a great job with it both live and in the studio. Bono was kinda mediocre in the record but killed it live (specially in the promo tour, more than during the tour itself).

    Edge on the other hand recorded one of his lamest solos ever, and he didn't bother improving it live.
  5. I wouldn't even call it solo...
  6. Originally posted by LikeASong:I am definitely waiting for the "Experimental" part of the album, I don't think I'm so excited about this new song in particular... I hope the overall feeling of the album is much less comercial... Nevertheless, it's U2 after all, and I know I will wake up tomorrow and I will be fucking excited until I hear its complete version. And on the end I'm sure I will like it, of course I will
    lol this is what I posted the day before GOYB's premiere, when we got to listen to the 20 sec. preview. Had I known...
  7. haha yeah, well, I should have said "lamest and shortest" then. It's more of a bridge, but it's still very poor.
  8. It's like something went wrong in studio and they forgot to cut it out
  9. Hahaha best definition ever... Even though the song has already enough cuts and samples it's so inorganic.
  10. Lol truth... inorganic best describe the song
  11. They did some salvage work by doing some good remixes of Boots, I reckon they knew fairly quickly after it's release that the it wasn't their finest hour.
  12. I am however still amazed that they kept the song for Glastonbury. I know it was still in the 360 tour window but know your audience and all that.
