@Opti_maX Hands was the answer. Sometimes the others are responsible (Larry did SBS drumbeat in Please), but usually Bono, yes.

@JeffReinhart77 Not sure but hearing will be starting after the show Lot I.

Thanks @U2ELUVAYSHUN fan family for decorating GA for us. Sharing @U2 love! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #RoseBowl https://t.co/y4vuillAtg

Good show morning! GA line has organized LA1. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 https://t.co/tL6mJ86uph

@U2Arabia Haven’t heard anything about any shows being broadcast live or filmed for release yet.

@DallasTheBear sitting on the floor. Depends how much you’re hung up about being able to see stage in every song. 2/2

@u2war40 We have always listed it as a separate track. I (Ax) recognise this is a grey area.

Guys, tweet Ax about this EVERY DAY until he gets it done! ;-) Matkin. twitter.com/rools_/status/…

@mysteriousdays See our timeline. ;) The answer is The Hands That Built America.

@mysteriousdays That’s been snippeted 77x, and I could definitely see it catching up with the three songs that have… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

Yep, me too. I really thought there would be some Māori imagery in the video. There ought to be. twitter.com/mysteriousdays…

This is a fantastic article, great work @u2songs. twitter.com/u2songs/status…

@rools_ You’ll have to wait until we finally finish counting instances, haha. (Oh god I REALLY need to get onto that…)

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to rools_

@eltimbomofov2 @johnnyo217 Yep, it wins off the back of that tour alone & extended its lead on IE’s first leg as the Pride intro.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to eltimbomofov2

@Rodrivox Yeah, during that really mediocre version of Bullet.

This is an interesting one. I’m not counting Shine Like Stars as it isn’t an original song per se, but its 214x doe… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

 via Twitter Web Client

U2 have snippeted 3 of their original songs >100x. We log 172 snippets of Hands That Built America, 111 of 40, 110 of All I Want Is You.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to TomTalksStuff

@TheWrage Bad has only been snippeted very rarely. It alternates w/ Beautiful Day for having most songs snippeted within it though.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to TheWrage

A good hunch. The original U2 song snippeted most by U2 is indeed not an album track. Not a b-side in traditional s… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

Sunset on the trucks at the Rose Bowl. Eve of LA1. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #RoseBowl https://t.co/goB94b2ofv

 via Tweetbot for iΟS

Nobody’s got this yet. 40 and AIWIY are second and third. Here’s a clue: the answer is a song from the 2000s.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

@waltien Only original U2 songs, not covers.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to waltien

@Rodrivox 40 is a good guess. it’s second. Mothers has only been snippeted four times, though.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Rodrivox

This is a very good guess. We log 110 snippets of AIWIY, putting it THIRD, just one behind 40. But still nobody’s g… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

I knew this guess would come quickly. It’s a good one. We log 111 snippets of 40. That puts it in SECOND. No correc… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

 via Twitter Web Client

This is fun, so one more trivia question for today. Which original U2 song have U2 snippeted more times than any other? No cheating!

 via Twitter Web Client

Discotheque flogs ever-loving shit out of other Pop songs for having diff snippets w/in it though! Bono loved snippeting random songs in it.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

Many of you guessed Discotheque has been snippeted more than any other Pop song. We log 42x, behind Please 49x and Playboy Mansion 50x.

 via Twitter Web Client

@markpeterboro It’s second to In God’s Country - snippeted 5x vs IGC’s 9.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to markpeterboro

Here’s our runner-up. A mighty fine guess. We log 49 snippets of Please - just ONE less than the leader, Playboy Ma… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

 via Twitter Web Client

@johnnyo217 It counts, but it can’t beat the winner, Playboy Mansion.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to johnnyo217

We have a winner! Playboy Mansion has never been played live, but no Pop song has been snippeted so many times - 50… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

 via Twitter Web Client

@jreineron7 Nope, that one’s only been snippeted twice.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to jreineron7

@starryclovers It’s been snippeted 13 times, not shabby, but well behind the leader.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to starryclovers

I hope this one is less obvious. No cheating by checking our site!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

Alright, since you folks got that trivia so fast, here’s one more. Which song from Pop has been snippeted the most live?

 via Twitter Web Client

@TomTalksStuff You’d have been right if that had been the question! Bullet is close to having as many diff songs sn… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to TomTalksStuff

@TomTalksStuff No known snippets of Streets at all! But it sure has had a lot of other songs snippeted within it.

@MANemeth But my favourite In God’s Country snippet was in Streets on Lovetown, three times: u2gigs.com/In_Gods_Countr…

 via Twitter Web Client

U2 don’t snippet Joshua Tree songs much. They’re played in full, or not played. w/o checking our site, which one has been snippeted most?
