  5. Just realized that the did you know? thing on the U2start page is wrong when it says the word "baby" wasn't used until Achtung Baby because Spanish Eyes says it...hmmm...I guess it still applies to album tracks. So late. Mind rambling....

    This is a good point...they also covered "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", even though they didn't WRITE the song, they still used the word "baby" in a song they recorded before '91.
  7. Also, I never knew this about ISHFWILF. Granted, its from Wikipedia so the truth could always be slightly sketched, but take a look at the below:

    "During a jam session, Bono began singing a "classic soul" melody, and it was this addition that made the Edge hear the song's potential. At that point, he remembered a phrase he had written in a notebook that morning as a possible song title, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for". He suggests it was influenced by a line from the Bob Dylan song "Idiot Wind": "You'll find out when you reach the top you're on the bottom". He wrote the phrase on a piece of paper and handed it to Bono while he was singing. The Edge called the phrase's fit with the song "like hand in glove". From that point on, the song was the first piece played to visitors during the recording sessions."

    Zooropa... Zooropa to me was perfect on 360 and now it feels so forced. A for effort but I need that guitar riff to be as wild as the album and live versions from 2011.

    Did not know that. Being from Wikipedia I'll take it with a grain of salt but it's an interesting piece of trivia
