Ultra Violet MIGHT, I'm not sure though, it obviously doesn't have the ZooTV-esque intro. but it might have something like extra vox? Not sure.


    shaves my already short list a little bit more. You are right about NLOTH though

  3. Depends whether you count that as an outro. to I'll Go Crazy or a separate entity in itself to bridge the gap. To my mind SBS starts when the drums do, whereas UTEOTW starts with that noise which is a defined part of the song. I dunno, we could nitpick all day about this

    Yeah it does lol, I guess the key is whether it matters to you or not. Re. that earlier comment about Bono refusing to play without a click-track, it doesn't stop him faffing things from time to time, but I think it just reflects the fact that they're not pro.-trained musicians - they're four guys who hit it big playing music and perhaps still to this day are slightly wary of things? I dunno, sheer speculation on my part
  5. just seems that theyd rather sound like they do on the record over being able to replicate that sound live (proper live).

    Bothers me this tour for some reason. Too much reliance on the backing tracks for me

    Ok, but it's impossible to reproduce that noise live.
  7. ^ what is that noise, anyway?

    it sounds like a really effects-treated guitar, to me, but idk.


  8. and there lies the problem. They make music that can't be replicated in a raw live setting without relying on backing tracks or additional musicians

  9. Per Jeff saying something about it a while back on the Guitar & Gear thread, it was something similar to that used for Gone, i.e. a semi-hollow/hollow-bodied guitar run through a load of weird pedals etc.

    Again, I'd say it depends whether you consider it a 'problem' per se - for me, it's not, but that's just my take
  10. Is that thing during Gone real or tracked? Cause it sounds tracked but you see Edge playing his guitar

  11. Tracked again, Edge doesn't play anything until the chords come in
  12. ^ wait, so Edge doesn't play the awesome harmonics-type-thing during the intro live?

    wow, that's quite a letdown.
