    that's because it's just that riff the whole song and it never changes.

    Trying to Throw Your Arms is cool, but probably just tech's fiddling.
  3. Originally posted by U2Nick:I just watched the HMTM rehearsal video in full. There is no doubt that it's real... "if you're alive at 53" Oh my God.



    I just remembered that this is the most badass song ever written.


    Also, just noticed the Miss Sarajevo clip, thanks for posting. That also sounds very real, he's definitely saving his voice during the Italian part.


    Why 53 though? Bono's not 53 is he?

    thats a truly bizarre and slightly disturbing idea for an alter ego and not sure what eyeliner has to do with any of it?!

    It doesn't have anything to do with it. It's just how I remembered the story.
  4. He's closer to 53 than to Jesus Christ's 33, though.

  5. This is gonna sound dumb and probably naive as all hell (pun not intended), but I didn't even realise it was about Jesus or religion in general.

    Fun fact: Bono was born in 1960 - making him 50.
  6. What?!?! It's one of the best and most ironic pieces of lyric ever written by Bono!! They want you to be Jesus, they'll go down on one knee, but they'll want their money back if you're alive at thirty-three (the age at which Jesus died). I love it.
    You naive aussie!


  7. No no, as Sergio said, he's 50. But I got all hyped up because that change proves the authenticity of the YouTube recording.
  8. Originally posted by ric:the fact that they have written a new intro makes me 90% certain that HMTM will definitely be getting included in the new setlist. and for some reason (between 0:30 - 1:03 on the video) that new intro slightly reminded me of the pink floyd song set the controls for the heart of the sun....



    Sounds like Gone to me...



  9. Gloria soundchecked by the technicians.
  10. I forget to check the forums for two days and all hell breaks loose...this is crazy. I think my head might explode- can't wait for videos and the boot! (Although I will wait patiently and not complain that they're not getting here fast enough.


  11. The guitar riff. Which probably was 5 seconds - something Dallas even does on stage before the show.

    OK, I'm somewhat relieved then
