U2 - Moment of Surrender
 Album:
No Line On The Horizon (2009)
  1. OK, firstly who is the bimbo introducing them on the SNL show? Reminds me of Megan Fox or someone

    And why is Bono singing gibberish on MoS? he should get Jay Z to give him lessons if he's going to try and rap.

    His voice is also really bad, he's struggling to sing the chorus on Breathe. I think the best performances of MoS were definitely earlier Milan or Dublin.

    No man that version is brilliant.

    I think they could actually put the MoS from Berlin (brandenburger tor) as b-side on the single.

    its goinig to SBS from Berlin i guess plus numerous remixes
  4. I hope we get some confirmation about the single soon. And I really hope it comes with a single mix. A shortened version/with some new "rap" vocals. I think it could maybe do well, especially if it were sped up just a little bit. I'll buy the single mix.
  5. I've just watched the Rose Bowl version. Do they skip the "we set ourselves on fire" verse everytime now ? That would be a shame, it's so powerful.
  6. The 'rap' addition is pretty good. Dont care it doesnt sound like Jay-Z, in fact i'm glad it isnt. This is u2 remember Jay-Z is huge in his domain and U2 in theirs. Lets keep it that way

    SNL + Better Bono = Epic version

    I agree. That's what I'm hoping for if there is a single mix.

    They did it because it's too long for Americans.
  10. The day I bought the album, I thought to myself "MOS, with a verse dropped and intro shortened, would make their best single ever" in my opinion. I've never been a fan of their popular songs, pretty much anything on U218, and have been hoping for a different type of U2 single, and here it is!
    I think some people here area waaay to critical of it. The whole "ATM Machine" issue needs to be dropped, that's just how people talk. I say "ATM machine" as well as "PIN number," and pretty much everyone I know does as well (Except Philly people who go to the Mac machine...).

    It has a great chorus that anyone can sing to, the whole thing has a rather original sound compared to most things on the radio, and personally, it always gets stuck in my head(a good thing).

    Maybe the 4th single will be Fez- Being Born / Stand up Comedy

    I know that U2 don't have to sound like Jay Z, but that's not good rapping on Bono's part, not like Numb, GOYB etc.

    And Jay-Z is pretty good at rapping in rock songs, just listen to Coldplay's Lost+ with Jay Z (Lost is a similar sort of song to MoS) see how much his rapping adds to the song, the lyrics are actually good. Not like Bono's half sensical gibberish
