[KJ] OT: Pirating of new U2 release -

[woody2shooz]

'Blood on your hands' though.. IMO a bad example -

Ade you surprise me. I had you down as a Geordie guitar fan and BOYH is a showcase example of that man's talents (speaking as a total non muso)
should have been "the" single of 2003. it builds so well. I always find myself turning the volume up when it comes on. 

But don't listen to me, I really like Inferno too

  Nope, i have to side with Alex on this one. Blood On
  Your Hands stands up against any of the great KJ
  tracks. Good call!!!!
