U2 - Every Breaking Wave (360 version)
 Era:
2010-2019
  1. Thanks, krys
  2. Ignore
  3. Really curious about the new album. When is it gonna come ?, what will be on it ?
    and will it be a succes after the flop of NO Line.
    Like Paul McGuinnes says I also think EBW could be a hit when it is full band.


  4. A hit at the shows or a hit as in a future release? C'mon Paul clear it up for us. Few nice lyrics on EBW but not much to shout about for me.


  5. Every Breaking Wave didn't make it for NLOTH ?!
    Who the hell made that horrible decision
  6. ^ I'd say it was a band decision more than anything.

    It's never a smooth process, finishing off a U2 record, and this seems to have been no exception. Was there much chopping and changing down to the wire?

    There was sort of an 11th hour scenario, because we got caught up on the running order towards the end, primarily because we'd all come to the conclusion that How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb had suffered by having a compromised running order, and we didn't want to make the same mistake this time around. So, we pulled White As Snow out of the 'maybe' file, and that seemed to balance some of the up-tempo rock tunes. It gave the listener a break.

    We had another track called Every Breaking Wave which, if we'd included it, would have made for a very long record. Anyway, we decided that song just hadn't reached its potential, so, we put it back in the cupboard for the next record (laughs)."


    So interestingly enough, White As Snow wasn't originally part of the final tracklisting.
  7. Luckily White as Snow was included. Brilliant song.
  8. starting my christmas list now;
    1. Songs of Ascent



    .... that is all

    Hmm yeah perhaps it's changed (a lot) between NLOTH and being played live of course...


  10. In your humble opinion of course, Dieder
    I can't even begin to describe how much I dislike this song. Sorry man...


  11. That's a bit over-exaggerated. The 2nd worst song on NLOTH for sure.
  12. Oh, hi. It took me a full year to like it.
