    I find it funny that Willie seems to know what the hardcore fans want more than U2 do. I guess that makes sense though, because Willie is a hardcore U2 fan while U2 is U2


    That, and U2 have to worry about putting on a U2 show every night. Willie sees a U2 show every night- he has a much better sense of what would fit.

    Well said
  3. I did not think Willie had such an influence on the band as for setlists! Mercy, Scarlet...
  4. Any new updates on Willie's diary? How did EBTTRT come up? Im really curious and Im not a paying member anymore


  5. Please read below:

    March 28th 2011. Buenos Aires - Day Off.

    "...There are several new show ideas in the works, six of which were on the agenda for the afternoon’s discussion. The most precious to me are the remixes of Magnificent and Even Better Than the Real Thing, and I was a little concerned to realise that I’ve actually fallen in love with these mixes, especially Real Thing which is just mega. This is always a dangerous position to put yourself in, as heartbreak awaits if things don’t go well at the meeting. Bono has a gang of friends over from Dublin so is staying in a house out by the water. It’s a bit of a trek to get there (the best part of an hour) but it’s a beautiful place so not too much of a hardship. All four band members came along and we got into the discussion. I almost felt a little nervous playing back Dec’s mix of Real Thing and a reworking of Magnificent. Happily, both were received extremely well, so much so that Larry suggested opening the show with Real Thing, which is a brave and exciting move. We’ll try it at sound check on Wednesday and see how it goes...."
  6. So Magnificent will likey return as a remix presumably in addition to Real Thing and Crazy. Fuck off


  7. Can't be much worse than the current version.


  8. The shit factor was hopefully the reason for dropping it. Now it transpires that tuey are looking to play over the top of a mostly pre-recorded version.

    Maybe the Will-I-AM version we never got to hear.

    I totally agree. I feel like this tour is the least "Rock n Roll" tour of their career. I dont get the need to play dance remixes of their songs. Im glad they played EBTTRT but why not in its regular form? It just doesnt make sense to me. I hate to complain but as great as this tour has been, it just feels weird to me.
