I guess you can see what choices they have to make, but they can just play this intro in a concert as The Edge usually likes to surprise the audience with an interesting intro.
Big U2 fan here, but have to agree with Caledonian2006. He's the "Ringo" of the group. Their loyalty to him needs to commended because he was truly horrible in the early years.
Remember The Edge even had to play bass on "40" while Adam was relegated to one string and some effects on Edge's guitar.
man every musician sucks in the early years but adam is a really good bassist look at the bass line on bullet and exit as example that are fking great bass lines
it may be easy to play but you don;t have to make difficult music only thing that matters is that is sounds good and when they perform live ..that you rock your socks off
lol apparently we have all resorted to schoolyard insults instead of actually coming up with an intelligent reply. nice. learn how to think critically.
I don't remember actually stating that I was intelligent. and im not trolling, just stating my opinion. and also you dont really know me so your ability to judge my level of competency is probably not that good.
funny that edge is wearing "bono's cap" in this video. before you correct me by saying it is origanally some che guevara model, notice the inverted commas please :P
The only failure was when your mother tired to abort you with a coat hanger but you still lived,that explains why you're a fucking retard.....take a hike shitdick troll
It's 'Magnificent', it's just your hearing the guitar part only from the mix of the song...despite it sounding like the more anthemic U2, it's one of the more layered tunes on the album.
i can't understand why they didn't use this guitar riff ( in the begiining) in the new album. sounds SOOOOO GOOD!

The new album is actually available online (not legally though) because Universal Australia accidentally released it early..

Magnificent and Stand Up are the first two...hope we see these elements on the album!
Is last clip at 1:55 "MOS"- sounds kind of similar to intro to "Mothers of the Disappeared" (same loop)
