Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
Q Magazine's Oct issue is including a CD with various bands covering every song off Achtung Baby including the first Nine Inch Nails track since Reznor officially called the band quits as a touring entity a couple years ago. This is actually a pretty interesting and strong lineup of artists:
Nine Inch Nails – Zoo Station
U2 (Jacques Lu Cont Mix) – Even Better Than The Real Thing
Damien Rice – One
Patti Smith – Until The End Of The World
Garbage – Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Depeche Mode – So Cruel
Snow Patrol – Mysterious Ways
The Fray – Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World
Gavin Friday – The Fly
The Killers – Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
Glasvegas – Acrobat
Jack White – Love Is Blindness.

Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
Yeah, I want to check this one out too. Especially the Patti Smith song..
Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
Saw these news today... me wanty to heary
Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
I want that NIN Zoo Station cover but I'm steadfast against buying anything with Jack White's name on it.
I'll just steal it. Trent won't mind.

Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
I just found his voice and approach too snob-cocky and annoying, specially when he started singing louder.
Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
I thought that's what made the song...it conveyed despair.

It's a pretty interesting cover...but better than the original? Not even close.Artemis wrote:i liked it better than the original version.

Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
Agreed. I liked it and thought White's approach of taking it further towards gospel blues was a good idea but the execution just missed the mark.Tyler Durden wrote:It's a pretty interesting cover...but better than the original?

No, you did NOT. You said that entire world loves Jack White's cover more than the original and anyone who voices dissent shall have their genitals struck repeatedly with a toffee hammer!Artemis wrote:I said that I like it better than the original.Tyler Durden wrote:It's a pretty interesting cover...but better than the original?

Reznor's cover of Zoo Station. It's ok I guess, but I expected a bit more from it. It's actually kinda boring

I'm a fan of both U2 and NIN...but that's some weak sauce. The original blows that out of the water.Easton wrote:http://fuckyeahatticusross.tumblr.com/p ... d-by-trent

Of course, the NIN worshippers who have been shitting on U2 since this was first announced will blindly embrace it as a "masterpiece".
Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
I consider myself to be a big NIN fan, but there is no way in hell I'll ever call this a masterpiece. This is probably one of the weaker things Reznor has done in a long time. I thought he was a perfect choice to cover this song, but maybe all that soundtrack work made him forget how to rockTyler Durden wrote:I'm a fan of both U2 and NIN...but that's some weak sauce.

Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
I actually enjoyed it... not that I prefer it over the original, but I thought it was well crafted and enjoyed the mellow side of it.
Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
sounds ok, don't need to hear it again. I'd think Trent would hate U2 or at least don't like em, but there you goEaston wrote:http://fuckyeahatticusross.tumblr.com/p ... d-by-trent

Re: U2 Achtung Baby Massive Box Set Coming
Trent remixed "Vertigo" when it came out. Aside from that, he was into new wave and mainstream "alternative" in the 80s (back when U2 was both hugely popular and also cool with college kids).Matz wrote:sounds ok, don't need to hear it again.

Regarding his take on Zoo Station, not what I was expecting (which is ok) but not a radical enough departure and kind of boring (which ain't so good). As if killing any guitar in the tune isn't bad enough, using a Casio-sounding drum machine sample along with tamping down the bass just drains the song of any energy. I guess it makes a good backing track for anyone who *does* want to play guitar along to it....
