I'm not saying it will ruin the show or anything, the I&E tour was great and didn't actually feature an ott amount of rants but I definitely prefer a rant free performance.
    This^

    Plus, Exit is a jam, and that's why it's awesome. I don't think he'll rant in it anyway, personally.
  2. Im assuming Bad doesnt require rehearsing. That can be the only logical explanation for them not to habe played it yet

    But... you have to keep in mind. It's America. While visual aids are good, most of us need to have our hands held and have things spelled out for us.
  5. All songs need rehearsing surely! That's like Cristiano Ronaldo taking the whole season off partying and expecting to score a hat trick on his opening game back

    Isn't that what Diego Maradona used to do?

    what can I possibly add to that comment lol.
  9. Or maybe because it's not going to be a staple?

    Also, take a look at the progression of the 2009 rehearsals at Camp Nou // Central Thread to see that they don't rehearse every one of the songs they plan to play from the beggining. Some songs "fall down" from the rehearsals midway through (see Drowning Man for example) and some come in later (Even Better, Bad, Sometimes You Can't Make It, Stuck In A Moment...). We're still a week away from opening night, and I'm sure they will rehearse new songs soon - possibly including Bad, but if not, that doesn't mean it's not going to be played at all.

    And YES, they surely need to rehearse Bad. They need to rehearse everything to death in order not to screw up. Remember One (a song you'd think they'd knew how to play eyes closed) during 360's opening night...

    Yeah. I tend to believe they start with those that need the most work, and as the week progresses, they'll work in more...
  12. Hm.... I'm thinking the only narration Exit should have is that one sentence at the beginning, either 'This is a song about a religious man who became a dangerous man when he didn't understand the hands of love' or 'this is a big place, but U2 and your are bigger than this place.' I think Exit is not really a song that should have much more said during it, that would kind of spoil the creepy , midnight vibe of it. But, we'll see.....
