  1. Yeah Teardrop would have been a great closer for that album. All those interludes piss me off too. None of them are the least bit necessary.

    Sort of agree. The preludes are good build up to the songs and should stay but could've been mixed into the tracks that they support. I don't see why shaving 30 seconds of the start of a track is beneficial.
  3. Yeah I'm with you guys on that one. They should've just been included as intros to the songs. It'd be like taking the intro and outro of Streets and calling them their own tracks, kinda weird. "Oh my god I hope they play M.M.I.X tonight! I LOVE that song!"
  4. +1
  5. As long as we're all around, does anybody think Red Hill Mining Town is a boring song? It doesn't really go anywhere in my opinion. It's slow, and it never "takes off" as far as I'm concerned. I think a song like Silver and Gold, or even something like Deep In The Heart could've been much more interesting in that spot on The Joshua Tree. Maybe it would've benefited from a live treatment, maybe not. It's not a BAD song by any means, I still listen to it when I spin JT, but I still think it's a bit boring.
  6. I love Red Hill Mining Town. Mainly because of Bono's powerful vocals. Shame it was never played live, and it will never be played live unfortunately

    They're powerful, but he has powerful vocals on much better songs in my opinion!
  8. Actually, that's a good question to ask: what is everyone's worst track on The Joshua Tree? I can't decide...

    You know mine! It always bothers me when I read U2byU2 that the band don't think much of In God's Country. They pretty much politely say "it's a shit song". I love that song.
  10. My girlfriend really likes Red Hill Mining Town. I like it too, not a standout track but not a complete dud.

    In God's Country is a great song. The version on Rattle & Hum (the movie) is amazing.

    Oh yeah. Would be better if they didn't cut out a verse, but as it is it's still great. When Bono snippeted it at the Rose Bowl show, when it was being streamed live, I was like "whoaaa! Wasn't expecting that! "
