  1. Originally posted by marik:i can't seem to find which interview/pod it was, but during the pandemic era i 100% can remember Bono and Edge being interviewed and Bono spontaneously mentioning to Edge "Last Night On Earth... Edge, we should do that one acoustic".

    Now we know that was the same time frame that they were working on their 50ish songs for SOS, so I wonder if that one was ever worked up...
    Oh damn. That would be worth the cost of another album alone.

    It’s a song Bono and The Edge put together with Jacknife Lee to show Letterman how they develop a song. You see bits and pieces of it in the Disney Plus documentary and this version plays over the final credits. It’s not credited as a new U2 song.

    I just watched the doc…I get it now. My bad, haha.

    Also, something that is clearly what is referred to in Ireland as “a bit of craic”. What the F is wrong with people that they’ve got to take everything so seriously. It seems there are plenty of people on this forum that would benefit from a dip in the Forty Foot!

    Yeah, I didn’t realize this context when I heard it. Hadn’t seen the doc yet. That was my bad.
  4. I was hoping to really hate this album. I had zero hope that I was going to like it.... but I love it!!!! All the rawness just comes flowing out. Would make a stellar live show!!!
  5. Hoping to hate? Now that’s the kind of open mind to take to appreciating art.
  6. I think its been pretty decent so far. Only got to Still haven't found which is so far probably my favourite of the ones. And I cant stand the studio version of that song. But when I heard the snippets a didnt like anything at all. Not one. But yes pleasantly surprised by the full versions so far.
  7. Just posting to publicly revise myself. The more I listen, the more I like.
  8. “Are you looking forward to seeing them live?”

    “I hope I hate it.”
  9. So there's five camps so far:
    Edge
    Adam
    Larry
    Bono
    Hoping To Hate It
  10. My hopes for this were low. A week ago, I would’ve told you this is a dark time to be a fan of U2.

    Little did I know this was exactly what I needed, and that I would end up loving it.
