For everyone else - I really don't know what is wrong with Bono - do you think he writes such hammy stuff on purpose, perhaps he think it'll connect better with low brow, mainstream audiences who like listening to the tripe on radio these days.
Originally posted by Stu:Great to see Mercy given a LIVE debut, i guess that means it will definitely be on the next album......right?
Always loved the song, just has this infectious vibe going along, and couldn't care less when, or on what, as long as it is released in some shape or form.
Will the newer version be better than the demo version? irrelevant for me, it's great either way!
If they play Mercy either night in Mlebourne, i will EXPLODE.....and a big FUCK YEEEEAH fist pump.

Of course, but let's look at Glastonbury which is musically so f-word weak - that's Edge's guilt.
Originally posted by Droo:I think Unknown Caller's bridge is boring. It has nothing on, say, The Fly. Or even Moment Of Surrender's.
The last 3 minutes of the original Mercy was really boring. I'm glad they changed that. I do wish it still had the same chorus though.
FARK this song is sooo good
