  1. hey guys! Ok, so its pretty safe to say that we're all bonded by the music that U2 makes. For us die-hards, we have all said to ourselves, "if only they would've done this, or extended that, blah blah blah". For example, the solo in Love is Blindness (live from ZooTV), if only Edge would've extended that for a few more minutes. The goosebumps are there, but they end abruptly. Please (Popmart), if only they would've extended the bridge when Bono is just screaming Ayahahhh and they are just completely in their own world. I hope you guys get the point. Anyway, I'm in a band called Ghost. I have been a die-hard U2 fan now for about 7 years. I had the honor of playing "ISHFWILF" with them at East Rutherford NJ on May 18 2005. But that's another story. So, being a musician and understanding what "soul" is all about, its been a dream of mine to put out a cover cd for a while now. Well, that dream is finally coming true!!! I have found a record label that would love to put out the record. More info on the release date etc. to come, but right now I am in brainstorming mode. I figured I would ask you guys what songs you would like to hear. I know the obvious, so I compiled a list that of my personal favorites and songs I would love to hear, and you guys as well. I am going to take liberty with the songs and do what I've always wanted to hear more of.

    Acrobat
    Running to Standstill (ZooTV)
    Please (Popmart)
    Bad
    Love is Blindness (ZooTV)
    Unforgettable Fire
    Miracle Drug
    Exit
    11 O'Clock Tick Tock (Extended Version)

    P.S. There will also be snippets in each song, so feel free to talk about which snippets you would like to hear as well. Thanks guys!! I will read every post and lets try to make this a special cd!!!!

    You can check out my band at myspace.com/ghostghostghost

  2. interestig topic and many thanks for trying to get us involved. I enjoyed your bands rendition of I Still Haven't Found. Especially towards the end when you played it really fast with heavy drums. Fantastic but please tell me that you aren't the lead singer Amazing story either way.

    I agree with Love Is Blindness extended solo so definitely try that. Also give Desire a go (extended version, ala 1990-01-10 Rotterdam)
  3. Now I'm curious....Gerard, where did you hear/see the performance of ISHFWILF?
  4. hahaha...no i played guitar. my buddy sang..haha you can hear my voice....myspace.com/ghostghostghost

    i will check out desire extended...ive already used up my daily dowloadage...haha popmart (miami)....great show....anyway, so i will download that show manana!.
  5. Bad is a must. Good to see you have that down. I would include the Ruby Tuesday and Sympathy For The Devil snippets. Here's some other ideas:

    Wild Horses
    I Will Follow
    Desire
    God Part 2
    Bullet The Blue Sky


    Can't wait to hear it by the way.

  6. Hey Jordan, congrats on the good band!

    yep, include every snippet there is for that song! Satellite of Love, Ruby Tuesday, Sympathy, Walk on the wild side, maybe even 40 and All I Want Is You!

    Again about snippets, Exit should of course have van morrison's gloria and maybe even riding on the storm.

    What else? Aha!

    Heartland,
    Ultraviolet,
