rare jewel

Considering that it's NEVER been on ANY U2 release, no chance man.

There's that one song on the Achtung demos, "She's gonna' blow your house down", which KICKS ARSE....same thing.

Personally, I'd LOVE to hear them play "The Fool" 30+ years after they wrote it......MASSIVELY BRILLIANT!!!!

I have a U2 demo from 1978-1979, but a lot of songs, including this one, aren't on it! Thanks for uploading!

I remember buying a U2 demo album back in the mid -80's with this song. I believe it ends with Bono saying something like "We have to do a replay, I wanna hear it." This version sounds a little warped. Nonetheless, a great posting. Thanks for the memories. Another song on the demo was "Lost in the Silent Planet." Maybe, I'll search for that now.

I hope not :))

Dude, was that Sonny Bono (the other Bono) in the audience?

when edge was a tradicional guitar hero

[HuntersMoon73]

Wow, did they produce this demo themselves? More than any of the other early U2 songs, you can hear Edge starting to get his sound together. Very exciting. Thanks!

What a kick to hear those old demos - I've been reading about them in U2byU2. Now I actually hear it.

Where in the world do you have these songs from - where can I hear it (downloade it), buy it??

Thanx

[mfstengaard]

What - Internet? I remember back in the 60's when we reached the moon in a rocket. Now you tell me that there's something called internet? Does it never stop this crazy technology?

Well - I haven't been able to find those demos on either piratbay or elsewhere - but I maybe didn't look to close.

[Volkan2006]

I found an EP in a Junk store in Ankara Turkey. Title: "Children of the revolution".

[offthelinegt]

Very cool, never heard these songs and, well, i thought i heard all .. what book are you filming by the way?

No problem, understood. Thanks for posting!

[Angel0fharlem]

That's fair enough. Just wondering though, how did you get hold of them yourself?
