During Heavens Door he makes a verse saying :

''for the first time I salute the men IRA, and wish them all the best for their dreams one day''

He understands the IRA's cause but he hates them He can't see the justification of the needless loss of life

Originally posted by germcevoythey are pretty much sorted. We just need the loyalist paramilitaries to fuck off

Originally posted by LikeASong[..]Anyone read that point? The contract of making 3 Best Of compilations was filled with U218. So don't expect a new compilation, or at least no in the known format (Best Of xxxx-xxxx, etc). Maybe a special disc, more as U218 than as the other Best Ofs.

Originally posted by yeahGot any more details of the Mercury deal?

Originally posted by LikeASong[..]What?

Originally posted by yeahSince you seem to know for sure that there won't be another Best Of in the known format, I wonder if you know more details from their record deal with Mercury.

But since I've read in many sites that U2 has finished their 3-best·of's-contract with Island, I say the same here. But of course I don't know it for sure.

Originally posted by yeahYep, they fullfilled the 3 Best Ofs. But what tells you that there isn't the same concept included in the new contract with Mercury? Especially if you keep in mind that Jason Iley, who worked with them on Island records, is their man at Mercury. Also, both labels belong to Universal. So it wouldn't surprise me if they kept the same concept.
