  1. Well, everything that has Achtung Baby on its cover will be a re-release, like The Joshua Tree was a re-release, etc. (re-release = released again)... I wouldn't mind a remaster -although it doesn't need it- , what I do NOT want is any kind of re-recording a la Beautiful Ghost or Disappearing act, you know what I mean? I want the same songs that were released in 1991, without any 2011 element.
  2. Get ya loud and clear

    We'll probably get at least one with some new vocals and stuff. I actually really like Disappearing Act, and I prefer it to White City. The lyrics Bono wrote for that track are amazing. But, I do think we should have gotten both White City AND Disappearing Act.

    So in a way I agree with you!
  4. I kind of like when they finish the songs like Dissapearing Act and the different versions like the Tomorrow Common Ground Mix, it´s kind of what it would sound if it was these days! By the way, what´s this White City?

    Agreed.How about the band release a live show from 1992.That was the real ZooTV tour.1993 the band had Zooropa out and mixed in those songs.The Achtung songs are far better than Zooropa.

    I saw the band many times in '92 (10).The 2 shows that stand out,Boston 03.17.92 and NYC MSG 03.20.92.The Yankee Stadium shows were great as well,but I prefer arena shows to stadium anyday.


    A DVD from '92 would also be fantastic.Maybe the famous show from Sweden.I waited 20 years for the Paris gig.I really dont think its unrealistic to at least HOPE, for a full live show of some sort from '92.
  6. I think it's safe to assume (and hopefull) we'll get the Outside Broadcast special as a DVD, hopefully with the video's for Love Is Blindness and UTEOTW (The original film clip, not the live version). And perhaps the Zoo TV Interference Documentary. Then it'll be some DVD fillers like the ZooTV text for the Fly etc.

    For the bonus CD disc, it'd be great to get the version of UTEOTW taken from the film, Satellite Of Love live with Lou Reed (not pre recorded) from ZooTV New Jersey which appeared on a compilation I never bought and hopefully some polished up stuff from Salome.

    Then there's the slighlty different vocal versions of One and Mysterious Ways as well as anything that may have been spoken about in interviews but never heard of.

    ...
  7. Yeah the DVD will be the new documentary, and probably the outside broadcast special.

    There's the off-chance that we'll get a full-blown show though, I mean they didn't even film a present-time documentary for the Joshua Tree anniversary. Maybe after the whole U2 Duals episode they're actually taking this shit seriously for the fans. I for one would LOVE to see the Stockholm show remastered, but I have my doubts.

    Although, in relation to a current day doco for the Joshua Tree there was the Greatest Albums series on JT that was filmed in the late 90's I think (Post Pop, Pre ATYCLB).

    Good point, slipped my mind!
  10. atu2.com:

    U2 is planning to re-issue both Achtung Baby and Zooropa later this year, according to the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine (with Katy Perry on the cover). Author Brian Hiatt writes that the two albums are "likely" to be released separately along with a deluxe box set that will include both albums and additional audio/video from the Zoo TV era. Says U2 manager Paul McGuinness:

    "There will be multiple formats. If you pile a lot of extra material and packaging and design work into a super-duper box set, there are people who will pay quite a lot for it, so you can budget it at a very high level and pump up the value."

    Last month in Winnipeg, U2 simultaneously rehearsed for its Glastonbury performance and shot an Achtung Baby documentary with direct Davis Guggenheim. The Rolling Stone article mentions the documentary, but doesn't specifically say that it will be part of the Achtung Baby/Zooropa package.

    Rolling Stone also reports that U2 is working on an app "for the iPad and other tablets that could be involved with the releases."

    The article says the re-issued albums will be released "this fall," but gives no specific date. (thx to Reilly for the tip)


  11. Silly thing to say by him but he's right


  12. of course, and everyone knows it's just another way to make a shitload of money. but to openly say it is hidious.
