U2 are a great band. They are under-rated. I cant believe some people who say that bono is a twat cos he is NOT, he helps the less unfortunate like Chris Martin does. U2 are one of the greatest bands in the world and will dominate the world just like Coldplay :cool:

If anything, they AREN'T underrated.

My recent favourite is Parti girl.

^Holy... I LOVE THAT SONG! :lol: I have a recording of it from one of the recent MSG shows and Bono completely flubbed the lyrics. Poor Edge knew what he was doing, though. :rolleyes: I wish I had a YSI link to it...

 

Anyone checked out the recent Rolling Stone magazine with Bono on the cover? It is an INCREDIBLY well done interview, very very interesting. Anyone who dares hate Bono after reading it should just... Oh. I wont even say.

 

I just thought evil things. I should not love that man as much as I do.

 

(it makes me happy to see a U2 thread back on the first page of this part of the forum. As it should be.)

my all time favorite would have to be With or Without you. i know that many say that this song is very cheesy because it is a very popular song of them...but everytime i listen to this song....its like im in heaven.... :dozey:

 

 

BTW> danielle, i havent checked it out, i want to read it!!! :stunned:

Oooh gawd. Who's been saying that song's cheesy? Have you ever seen the performance of it in the movie Rattle & Hum? Oh. Be still my beating heart... It's really the one song that no matter how many times I put it on loop or play it into the ground, each time I hear it I melt into a puddle of feminine goop. Honestly.

 

Well... :lol: You know what I mean.

 

Mildred, I'll probably scan it within the next day (or days if I get busy :confused: ). When I do I'll post them here, or I could try PMing them to you. That way you don't have to go out and buy it or anything. I'm lucky I've got my subscription. (shhh, no one needs to know that I went out and got a second copy, that I'm hoping I can have him sign in December ;) )

how did you get them to sign it?

your postcard i mean

I met them outside the loading dock, at the Garden in Boston, before my show. They arrived from about... I'd say 3:45 to 4:45 to do soundcheck or a final run through.

 

I really only met Edge, even though I got Adam's sig. Some very, VERY nice bystander handed my thing to him for me, since I'm way too short and was too far back to reach... :cry: I got up to the front by the time Edge came out though! How exhilerating. I was shaking very badly and I think he could see that, he looked more shy than I was! :o :lol: As he was walking away from me I knew I HAD to say something, so I just burst out really loud "THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH EDGE!". I wanted to add "FOR EVERYTHING" but that would have sounded so corny, and I'm glad my brain was working that much to stop it from coming out. He turned and looked at me for about 5 seconds, just sort of :stunned: Then all of a sudden he smiled and... winked at me?

 

Life=complete.

 

I almost met Bono after that, but some bitch pushed me towards the back because she "needed" her friggin' Joshua Tree LP signed. Psh.

 

The stories really longer than that, believe it or not, that's the edited, watered down version... :rolleyes: I could honestly go on for hours about how Edge looked at me and how Bono was at one point 10 inches from me...

 

But I wont! :lol: :lol:

i'll try to get it if i can, but if you could scan them, i would aprecciate it. thanks danielle!! ;)

 

is just this stupid mess that's been going on around here in florida because of the hurrcaine.

I love U2!, saw them at Man City's ground a few months ago fantastic! The best ablum in my opinion is actung baby followed closely by the joshua tree x

joshua tree baby!! ;)

I'm actually quite into Pop era at the moment. Maybe it's because that period has been getting absolutely NO lovin' from the band themselves, at least not in the recent tour. Well, there was a few performances of Discotheque (which sadly, I didn't witness) but still...

 

I want MoFo.

 

:bigcry:

 

And a full band performances of Please. No more snippets.

 

Right, sorry. I should stop blabbing about U2 on here. I'll save that for my molestation of U2 forums. :rolleyes:

an_cat, why not just do both? I do.

 

By the way, I don't suppose you have any of the Pop singles? The singles were mainly redone (possibly except for Discotheque). I have Please, I know that IGWSHA is very similar, do you have Last Night On Earth per chance?

:snore:

^not a U2 fan?

I think I might. I have tons on my iTunes, which happens to be on my other computer.

 

I'm not sure though. I know I have a lot of the remixes and edits from Achtung Baby/Zooropa. I don't have much Pop though... I'll have to check it out. Sometimes I'll go on downloading frenzies and completely forget what I have! :rolleyes:

^i love your siggy! its hilarious! omg! discotheque! :lol:

Thanks. I can't get enough of that damn video... :stunned:

 

Edge in the bondage outfit is hilarious. :lol: They're like the Village People. Just not gay..... :confused: :lol:

 

I sort of like having everything on here TOTALLY U2 orientated. It's different, since I mean this is a Coldplay forum. But I like being a little... stranger. Goin' against the tide, yanno...

 

Ok. I'm not making much sense, I just took a ton of nightquil and had some Irish mead in my tea, so I'm a little :dizzy2: :lol:

nightquil and had some Irish mead?? woah! :stunned:

anyway, about that video...it is the only song/video by u2 i cannot see/hear!! i do not know what was going on in their heads....i really dont know!! :huh: :huh: :huh:

I know what you mean. I actually really hated the Pop era U2 went through for a looooong time. Up until about 2 months ago, actually. I started reading interviews done with the band around that time period and suddenly it all started to make sense. I got to really listening to the record, reading the lyrics (especially Mofo) and yeah, I fell in love... :blush: :rolleyes:

 

The music video to Discotheque is pretty... :stunned:

 

I sent it to my friend Kelli (putainfromage on here) and I remember the first thing she said was something like "I FEEL LIKE MY EYES WERE JUST RAPED."

 

:lol: :lol:

that's exactly how i feel! that vid is just....ahhhh!!! :stunned: :stunned:

I do believe it's an aquired taste. :lol: :lol:

 

Oh, here's something I found which you might be interested in (or anyone else, really). I got this YSI link off another forum to the VH1 special they had a while back. Pretty cool stuff, Edge talks about his rig and the effects he uses, blah blah.

 

It's pretty disturbing that they have surveillance cameras filming the people along the outer rail from inside the catwalk... I didn't know that until the other day, so that means someone could have been watching me spazz out the whole time during my concert! :stunned: :stunned: :lol:

 

Anyways, here's the link. I might upload it myself so it can stay up longer, I just have to find where I saved the file. This one probably doesn't have much time left, and it takes a bit to download, but it's worth the wait.

danielle, you rawk!!!!! :D

mmm, it says its blocked!!! wtf?

danielle, help!!! i cant watch it!!! :stunned:

Oh feck. I wonder why??

 

Huh. Maybe it got downloaded too many times...

 

I'm uploading it now onto YSI from my own computer, so it should be just a few minutes, then I'll repost the link. *crosses fingers*
