I'm trying but I can't hear it!

Wikipedia explains all alternative names, and the one they chose was definitely the best.
They only mentioned "Adam" with no explanation, but I also figured it was meant to refer to the biblical Adam.

Achtung Baby is, like, the gold standard of reinvention.

He said he watched from the back "like when he was a kid" I believe the words were something like that

You are so right. It really is the gold standard of reinvention! I've never heard such a radical change in sound from any band. Not even The Beatles experienced such a radical shift I feel. For them it was more progressive as each album went by.

I just bought Achtung Baby's 20th Aniversary 2CD edition and I was wondering why does "Alex Descends into Hell for a Bottle of Milk"/"Korova 1" (awesome song by the way) has a reference to Clockwork Orange on the credits...

I took me about 1,5 mins to figure it out, I thought it was some smart word I had to google.

Anyway, I love the 90s stuff now.

Zoo TV is fckn awesome!

Bono would make a fine actor.

He's hypnotized me, I've been singing A-HA SHA-LA all day.

Hey U2ers! We allowed the thread to fall to page 4.

Any really good B-sides/bonus songs from reissues/anniversary editions of albums?

Corkus · 17-02-2012, 06:26 PM

U22 (live album) final tracklist dropped a few weeks ago:

1. Bad
2. Where The Streets Have No Name
3. Magnificent
4. One
5. Ultraviolet
6. Even Better Than The Real Thing
7. With Or Without You
8. Beautiful Day
9. City Of Blinding Lights
10. The Unforgettable Fire
11. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
12. All I Want Is You/Love Rescue Me
13. Moment Of Surrender
14. Until The End Of The World
15. The Fly
16. One Tree Hill
17. Stay (Faraway, So Close)
18. Walk On
19. Zooropa
20. Elevation
21. Out Of Control
22. Mysterious Ways

Fairly good blend of big hits and lesser-known fan favorites IMO.

No Pride or New Year's Day?

I'll give the fans a pass on those (this was a fan-voted tracklisting) since they've been on numerous releases before. Same thing goes for Sunday Bloody Sunday.
