[KJ] OT: Pirating of new U2 release -

[ade]

Sorry!! Just went to have a listen to BOYH to find out why I thought it
average & realised I'd
mixed it up with 'House that Pain Built' (the chorus slightly annoys). Too
much gear.

Ignore me! Blood on Your Hands fukkin' ROCKS!!!

'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!!!!
