1. They could try to take away the kinda strange vibe that surrounds Exit, because of that murder.

    But it's probably a Bono rant about Trump.

    Hmnrr.... not another politics thread

    I think to try to remove the creepiness about Exit would be doing the song a tremendous disservice. That murder was horrible, of course, but... it was a long time ago, and the guy was crazy....

    Exit is a disorientating, scary, aggressive song that feels like some sort of force of nature. The first few rehearsals seem to show they're keeping to that, and using the same old lightning effects, which is good. To try to wrangle Exit down with ranting or commentary would be a mistake.

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.....


    And Larry just wants to beat the shit of the drums... He has to wait long enough on the lead in. Once he gets going he wants to go. No distractions!

    Vertigo RTSS is by far my favorite version and has been ever since I heard it, but after Bono's accident and him losing the ability to play guitar any version of any song in which Bono plays a guitar skyrocketed in value to me.


  6. Zoo TV version... But the visual spectacle of it is a big reason for me...
  7. It's the best quality we've had so far.

    And it's still far less than ★★½.
  8. when One Tree Hill comes up..... ahhhh ♥
