1. hmm, I am pleased they have rehearsed Mercy but hmm, not so sure about the lyrical and melody changes Bono has done to it. Anyway too early to tell what this means. Hopefully something for the better.
  2. Bono's changes can sometimes be for the better (Your Blue Room, Shine Like Stars) or it can hurt the song (The Unforgettable Fire).

    I am still undecided about Mercy, but changed Mercy is better than no Mercy, I say.
  3. Mercy. Further proof the band's demise if the evidence was needed.

    A song about a festival they didn't play, a song that is nowhere near finished and which they don't know how to play (NS) and a HTDAAB b-side.

    Would you rather them just keep playing the same greatest hits songs over and over ad infinitum until they die?

    I say bring on the oddities!

    I guess you want them to play Pride, One and Streets all day long. Along with the awful Walk On of this tour and then ten different versions of Beautiful Day and it's 100 snippets.

    Geez, some people can't be satisfied.

    Personally I'm more excited about MOTD than Mercy's rehearsal. I just don't like it. But that shows that the band is open to new ideas
