Why didn’t the Shadow songs make HTDAAB? Larry & Adam said the Chris Thomas sessions had no magic. Lillywhite had the gravitas to steer the band away from the experimental & towards the conventional so Bono didn’t finish lyrics #U2fam #U2community #u2conference

Into The Heart of U2 Podcast @u2podcast.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Now that we have the Shadow album, what should’ve been the 12 songs to make HTDAAB? Do Evidence of Life, Treason, Happiness, Luckiest, Country Mile make it? What gets the ax? It’s harder than you think. #U2fam #U2community #U2conference via @YouTube youtu.be/hjJSFRCdbkk?fe…

Loving the Shadow album but why didn’t they just dispense with Re-Assembling & use the 6 best of these as the cornerstone of the next record? Maybe then we’d get a new record & tour in ‘25 instead of more likely ‘26 or ‘27 #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

R&H 36 yrs ago today. Sells 10 mil, hits galore, but the film originally to be a small art film blows up & exposes U2 to derision & charges of megalomania. Where’s Paul McGuinnes? Making the biggest deals possible-hmm #U2fam #U2community #U2conference youtu.be/W7zBQvU12Bk?fe…

Fun fact about Larry’s bulletin board post @ Mount Temple: No one replied. Undeterred, Larry approached Adam; Edge’s guitar teacher told him to go & Lipton Villager Reggie Manuel convinced Bono to go & they gather 9/25/76 #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Eye rolls abound as #U2 calls in OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder as one of many producers on SOI but he did transform EBW by ditching the chorus played on the 360 Tour (see clip) & writing the soaring chorus heard on SOI #U2fam #U2community via @YouTube youtu.be/38qM_ShH9Co?fe…
