1. I agree with dylbagz, but there's no sense in trying to argue that position, because we all know it's a shot in the dark. Personally I don't mind how U2 does it, but it would be incredible to see them use the Pearl Jam method too. That being said I've had friends who've seen Pearl Jam and who've blamed that aspect of their show for it not flowing super well and seeming like a mixtape and not a "show".

    Also, it's not the amount of songs they can play that make U2 famous enough to play around the world, it's the songs they've written and the effect they have on people. If they see a great reaction when they play the "warhorses", they're going to play them, simple as that. So many people around here say "it's time they dropped the "warhorses"", thing is every one of those songs got a HUGE audience reaction at every show I went to. Like it or not many of those songs are staples of the U2 show.
  2. even the above mentioned artist and band have their stable warhorses .. they (the so-called warhorses) are not the "problem"



  3. In case you haven't seen their cover of Aslan's "This Is."

    Not going to lie, this performance gives me goosebumps. It's an amazing song and the band does an amazing job performing it. And Bono... omg Bono. If his voice is like this leading into the new album and tour to follow, they might have something that can top 360 from a vocal perspective.

    U2 cover Aslan
  5. Well it looks live, but its more a studio recording than a live performance. Or Larry can drum without being at his kit (Check the clip there is a section where you hear him but he isnt there, to be magically appear from thin air a few seconds later).

    So I wouldnt read or listen too much into B's voice
  6. It is his voice regardless the number of takes made or if it's live or not.
  7. Well in that case i just disagree with Alex, compared to other studio recordings pre NLOTH I dont hear much difference
  8. He sounds like anyone draws his Balls, equivalent to the NLOTH Studio Version! I feel bad about the next Album, hopefully i'm wrong.
  9. That cover has me very optimistic for the new album, Bono was in fine form.

  10. I feel the same. His voice is aging gracefully
  11. Or maybe that was Pro Tools.
  12. really you got optimistic just from that cover? but about that it's coming or about how it will be? ah the abstinence hehe
    that cover and the Sunday stuff just make me glad they're starting to show themselves playing together that is .. things are moving seriously now
