This track is turning up at other sites now, in addition to Consequence Of Sound.

That is one of the most powerful and stunning pieces of music I've heard in a long time.

Shush, you! :lol:

So far I've heard 100% approval from JW III fans, and zippo from U2 fans (of whom I know many). Maybe they're stunned into silence?

See my post earlier, pretty decent cover, not as good as the original IMO not a lot else to say.
Don't believe the 60's was the golden age of pop. You glorify the past when the future dries up.

I've never been much of a fan of this song to start with so hearing Jack's version of it didn't sway me much. I haven't given it a full fledged listen yet, will probably wait until a more official preview comes out versus a radio recording.

Not a fan of the song itself, but DAMN. What a great performance! Very moving, very emotionally intense. (What else would we expect from the man, right?)

So, if this is him totally solo: Would this be the first JWIII recording released where he's playing bass, drums, guitars, singing, etc., all by himself? (As opposed to just voice + guitar a la "FFB.")

I like it. I'm not familiar with the U2 version though. I like how Jack is doing Bono voice though. Interesting. I want Jack to do a solo album for sure, but not a whole album of Bono-voice.

I'm also have a little organ overload between this track and the JTB track.

No one wants a cover tune to be identical to the original, right? That version is very very good. U2's best albums have been War, Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby IMO. So for a full length cover LP with a great array of artists, I'll be looking for the CD. Jack's cover came off very well. Powerful vocals, quiet vocals, good guitar changes, its a winner, baby!!!

Will this mag & CD be available at any US stores or bookstores as an import- or is it strictly UK?

Further more, make sure you look for the UK Q mag, not the Aussie Q mag!!!
