1. Originally posted by haytrainAnd to go back to what you said earlier, I really haven't listened to LNOE in a while. What song were you comparing it to again? LAPOE?

    Nah, ABOY. I was watching the PopMart DVD, and watching Bono's rhythm guitarring, and thought "hmmm that looks kinda similar to ABOY's riff" so started playing along and there are distinct similarities in the riffs themselves, except that on ABOY Edge is playing single notes rather than chords like he does on ABOY

    I'll have to take a listen later on before I can comment at least half-way informed. (and i totally get LAPOE mixed up with ABOY.....just me?)

    I was trying to think up something witty to go along with the " 'fraid so", but was stuck for ideas so just left it as "lol"

    I can't really see where the similarities are with regards to those two songs lol...

    To me, they're both raucous, loud "rock" songs.

    Yeah, and I really don't prefer one to the other, to be honest. They both sometimes get lost in the shuffle of "the middle of HTDAAB"

    Aha. I have a soft spot for either, just because they're good fun to play AND they are good songs in themselves (in my opinion). I prefer ABOY live because Bono usually hits the 2nd "allllllllllll because of you" on the choruses, whereas on the album/single he's flat, and at that volume, going offkey is magnified lol...

    I hate singing flat/sharp, I hate hearing it (from any singer lol)...

    You know, I've been listening to iTunes on shuffle for so long, i don't remember the last time I listened to an album straight through. Put that on my list of things to do....

    The last time I listened to a U2 album the whole way through was about 3 weeks ago, I made myself listen to Pop (purely because I was tempted by new bootlegs) and wanted to listen to Miami again because it was the talk of the town a few weeks back lol...
