Alright in the beginning, crap recently, very interesting around discovery of irony/Zooropa/Zoo TV, Pop is alright.

If You Wear That Velvet Dress
Please
Wake Up Dead Man

all deadly. Staring at The Sun was awful shite though. its like they have no idea which of their songs are good and which are shite.

I also though Stuck In A Moment That You Can't Get Out Of (or whatever it is) was great. Don't think i've heard anything they've done since the day they played Elevation on the roof of the clarion. I like that song too.

Listening to Pop now. I hate big 90s drums

the day they played Elevation on the roof of the clarion.

was that not Beautiful Day on top of the Clarence? Or am I thinking of something different?

The Clarence i meant. They did two songs as far as i recall, and i think one was Elevation, or elevate or whatever. Could be totally wrong. No idea what the other one was

and Bono is a bit of an arsehole but does some good so fair play to him

Seems like Bono was a slightly tiresome, overly earnest guy who loosened up and started to parody an obnoxious rock star and then became an actual obnoxious rock star.

Sound right?

Uh oh. I think I've just started to find Bono interesting. What should I do?

Edit: (thanks thread)

Pop is great. Though its a college album for me and I liked stuff in college that no sane person has any business liking.

thats the best music.

watch that southpark episode.

It's okay, it was pretty short lived.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

the first U2 album that I didn't buy (and still the only one that I haven't got) is the last one.

I did buy the Atomic Bomb one but never listened to it, and the one with Beautiful Day on it but got fed up after about 2 listens.

IMO buying an album and never listening to it teaches the band a far more valuable lesson than not buying it in the first place. IMO.

I didn't buy New Line On The Horizon either. I bought the two before that on vinyl but New Line was very pricey.

 

[magicbastarder]

the joshua tree was the first album i ever bought (read: had bought for me).
i like the rattle and hum movie much more than most people older than me. i think i was just young enough to get the most out of it at the time.

The way we used to write U2 as kids. This was on an old copy book. I clearly wasn't as artistic as some of the others....

Its the Unforgettable Fire for me.

My mates used to say my love for Elvis Presley and America was bullshit, but it was true! Still is..

saw them in croke park with the hothouse flowers, christy moore & the pretenders. a grand day out.

 

[pissypants]

The worst part is that because Bono is a near billionaire and has the means to do this forever, and Larry leaving was the only possibility of them ever breaking up (but he won't now because they're "rawk" again) we're going to have to put up with this shite for years.

They're their generations Rolling Stones - people will pack sold-out stadiums for years to come without any knowledge of, or giving a fuck about what songs they've released in the recent past.

Bono realised recently that U2 were on the verge of becoming irrelevant, he said it in an interview

I think I read somewhere that Scarlet Johanson was recently on the verge of realising that men might want to have sex with her.

That was the sunday. I was at the saturday gig with the Pogues, the Dubliners and Lou Reed supporting.

The lineup for those 2 gigs was incredible.
