U2 - Leftovers On The Horizon

For this video I put together a few of the clips from the making of No Line On The Horizon that I could not identify on the finalized product. Perhaps they will end up on a future release, or maybe they didn't meet the requirements that U2 had for their latest album. Then again, some of these clips might just be goofing around like the Edge Funk and Lanois Jam ones but you never know.

I wanted to use the U2.com clips that Adam uploaded during the recording process but Vegas didn't support .SWF files so I had to use stills as I could not find a good converter that wouldn't compress or watermark the output.

I might put up a video of all the alternate versions of some songs (Stand Up Comedy, Unknown Caller, Magnificent etc.) in one place if I find the time.

Enjoy!

The first song sounds very much like the version of Acrobat on the Hansa Ton session tapes.. Odd..

[brianrosco]

Sounds like early workings of Stingray Guitar...

@julz930 Haha, me too. Or I'd be some gal's 'sexy boots' when she walks into the U2's recording sessions. lol

@myguitarsucks let's hope so! :)

[myguitarsucks]

@U2jr Yeah definitely, a very similar riff!

Either way, i hope the original song in this video is released somehow... maybe as a b-side for the danger mouse album!
