So, does Bono actually know that catorce means fourteen and not four?

AMG has them with 14 albums - they count Blood Red Sky and Wide Awake and also some live in Mexico City thing, but not the best ofs.

He was just trying to tap into the mathemagic Jimi laid on with "If Six Was Nine."

laid on us.

Or maybe he had been watching the Holy Handgrenade sequence in Monty Python and the Holy Grail the night before he went into the studio.

Bono's a shitty singer, but I've decided he's more punk-rock than any of his critics

I think he knew the one everyone would forget is Live in Mexico City and that's why he counted in Spanish.

Hey, I dig Bono, I just ain't feelin' this single.

I can't believe you guys haven't caught this yet. The first, second, third, and fourteenth U2 albums (Boy, October, War, and ...Atomic Bomb, respectively) are the only ones produced by Steve Lillywhite.

I'm sure he says unos instead of uno too, "Some, two, three fourteen!"

― lupine lupin (lupinelupin), Thursday, 25 November 2004 01:02 (nineteen years ago) link

The obvious reason for this being that Steve Lillywhite produced albums 2, 3, 14 and some of the others aswell.

does bono think it's u2's fourth lp ?

― me, Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:41 (nineteen years ago) link

the song is called "vertigo" you know

― andrew s (andrew s), Thursday, 25 November 2004 06:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Surely there is a reference to 2pac's current whereabouts contained within.

from a gbv message board:

>Not trying to rehash the Mexican thread, but I had made a similar >remark on another forum. There I found out that the uno, dos, tres, >catorce intro is a tribute to returning producer Steve Lillywhite, who >produced the first three albums, and now this one, the (you guessed it) >fourteenth U2 album. (I still don't like it, but whatever )

Am I the only one who clearly hears The Supremes' "Keep Me Hanging On"?? It irritates me every time the iPod commercial is on.
