    Ah, that was it, thanks for the clarification on Fat Boy, lol...and to the Sexy Boots leap in name changes.

    i really think by the end of the month, or at least sometime in September at the very latest, I'd say early to mid September, assuming the single is late september. U2 is apparently keen on keeping official info top secret until the 11th hour, coy bastards
  5. Well, to me "Sexy Boots" as a song title doesn't sound worse than "40", "The Fly", "Lemon", "Kite" or "A man and a woman" - or "Achtung Baby" for an album...

    But I'm with those who say it's only a working title...

    im sure if it turns out to be a real title, we could live with it

    HA, I totally agree. I've loved the song since the first time I heard it and hated the title as equally long.

    We definitely need an album outtake list (for future references). Anyone wanna contribute if I get it started tomorrow with a decent list?

    And it went Full Metal Jacket > ? > Shark Soup > Native Son > Vertigo, from memory. I'll have to check.

    That's a great idea. I'll help wherever needed.

    Wasn't Vertigo also called Bulldozer at one point? Or was that from ATYCLB era?

    Bulldozer was from ATYCLB, and Larry supposedly played bass on it
