U2-Vertigo- First line?

[xMinionX]

Ok, I keep trying to figure this out. At the very beginning of U2s 'Vertigo,' Bono shouts out "Uno, dos, tres, quatorce!" Excusing my cruddy spelling, this means, in spanish, "One, two, three, fourteen." Fourteen? What?

What's up with that?

Sorry, I am of no help...I only speak English and Latin.

They are U2. They can do what ever the heck they want.

That is exactly what they want us to think.

Not completely sure about this but I heard that he skips to 14 because Steve Lillywhite produced their first 3 albums and then didn't came back until this one...the 14th.

interesting.




lillywhite is a good man. seriously. he produced DMB's three most amazing albums. He's worked with U2. He's currently working on Jason Mraz's new album. And whenever i hear a good album, i look on the back, and his name is printed there. He's just an all around good producer.

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

Its true. He has also worked with Guster and Counting Crows.
Say, anyone know where a girl could find a complete list of the albums he has produced?

 

[kellyalder]

hmm some interesting ideas, i dont know why Bono sings 1 2 3 14, but it sounds really good...in spanish that is, lol

I dunno if it's a full list, but http://www.allmusic.com/ has three pages worth of albums he's produced.

There hasn't been any confirmation what it means. It's been discussed "heavily" among U2 fans that It means the 14th album or the 14th verse of a bible chapter. And even Macewindu's post on Steve Lillywhite doing the first three albums then the 14th, the list goes on.

I'm just going to wait until Bono is asked this question in an interview somewhere.

His on interference.com I signed up there last week.

 

[DMBfanLongliveStrongBad!]

can someone explain to me why he left cf?

You did? Awesome! My name is the same as on here.

Anyway as to answer your question, this new album is the 14th album, so I think the 14 is there to represent the album. Bono has stated numerous times that this album is thier "first" album, the album they have always wanted to make.

haha!
i thought it was weird that he says 'catorce' - but then again, I am hard of hearing and hear all sorts of strange things so i didn't think twice about it!!

I AM NOT CRAZY!
