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:

Stay (Faraway, So Close!)-U2

:stunned:

That's not entirely true. For a while there was an intelligent conversation. There was a definite ebb and flow to it. Oh, and don't forget, you CAN just skip over it without opening it. Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. There was some fairly decent discussions occuring here. But now it's just gotten sort of bleh. Oh and yeah I DO know that. Thanks for telling me. I open it because I want to see if the conversations back. And instead I get blah blah blah blah blah you suck no you suck oh go away no you go away. I don't care about people talking bad about a band I love. I don't respect people who resort to name calling to either defend or offend the band. Say it intelligently and don't get immature (this isn't to you, Reckoner, by the way. I'm just saying if people want to defend their band and be taken seriously, say it appropriately and maybe with more than one sentence like "THEN JUST GO AWAY YOU SHUOLDN'T BE HERE OMFGZZZZZ!".)

*high five* I absolutely despise these lists. What's the point of them, anyways? I mean honestly. It's basically a list of 10 incredibly popular, well respected (and yes, the best) musical groups and their most well known album. Then, they obviously got the title wrong. Because at this point in the musical world, those are the 10 most UNDERRATED albums. LMFAO. And to put Sgt. Pepper on there, well. The group of people who compiled this shit need to be taken out into the woods and shot. The end. I swear, they must hire on the basis on incompetent musical taste in the music critic world.

I'm sick of constantly scrolling by this thread. It's just petty name calling and nothing of substance. :snore:

Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix)-U2

If you haven't listened to it you're lucky. It's so shitty I can smell it through my computer screen. Honestly.

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:

^Ah but see, you just did!! ;) :lol:

I understand what you meanmandymcnabb (by the way, can I call you Mandy? Is that your name? I'm sorry, I just always seem very strange calling people by their usernames on here, I don't know why :huh: :lol: ). I find that incredibly in depth lyrics are typically the least personable, the most... almost fact driven. You know what I'm saying? Instead of almost something coming from an artists soul, some lyrics can come from a person's mind. Bob Dylan is always the easiest example. Of course, he had many songs that you can apply to your life (and you often feel that the lyrics apply to your life and your life ALONE, isn't that always the way?). But many of them are statements, ways of putting situations going on in the actual world into a poetic twist that the average joe wouldn't understand. That's obviously just who he is. But Bob Dylan is the musical artist most people's lyrics are compared to. For good reason, but sometimes I don't think that's fair. I'm not sure what Chris is trying to imply by saying his lyrics will be "brilliant". What does that mean? Brilliant as in "wow, that's deeeep man. Groovy." or brilliant as in "That truly touched my soul. I know what he's singing about, I can feel it. I can feel it inside my heart, how does this man know me so well?" Because if it's the latter, then they're already brilliant. Sorry if I just went off on some strange tangent...... :confused:

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:

Look what you've done, Kelli! Don't cry. We mean no harm. It's just I think polls like this have been beatin' into the ground. It really belongs in the "Album" section anyways.

Not for the poster, it wasn't. 50 bling for a new thread, yanno!! :rolleyes: Sorry, I'm such a bitch. Just tired of these threads.

You miss them, Kelli? :lol:

yessss... Finally the last one of these!!

^So true. It's half the reason why I do so poorly in school. Someone tells me something has to be a certain way to get a grade, I'll do the exact opposite just to rebel against that. Sometimes unconciously, sometimes not. Or I just wont do it at all. My grades have all gone to pieces since this habit all started. :rolleyes:

^Whooooa. That is so feckin' awesome!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I bet if it's a girl they'll name her "Sarah". Just to COMPLETELY throw everyone off. Sarah Banana Republic Peach Mango Delight Martin, of course. :lol:

Has it really been confirmed yet? I've been going on U2 message boards and there's just speculation that it either will or won't go into 2006. Any info you have that you're not telling us? :) or just a gut feeling? Just a big gut feeling I have. I mean, they could... There was the Fenway Park rumor in the Boston Globe a while back. But I don't know. If they do do an extension into 2006, it wont be for awhile. Probably late summer or fall. And Coldplay would never be with them. I'd have to die first in order for that to happen. :lol:

^I agree with you. I don't think Bob Dylan sat down one day before, say, writing It's Alright Ma, and said "Damn, I'm going to try really hard to write absolutely genius lyrics to impress everyone!". It's a natural thing, a talent. I do think Chris has quite a lot of talent towards song writing, but no. I will say that lyrics are not Coldplays STRONGEST part. But they don't need to be genius lyricists, since what is so amazing about the band truly is the simpleness of them. The FEELING you get listening to them. You don't have to sit there and analyze "and ignite your bones". You just sing it. And you feel it. So Chris saying "I'm going to make more brilliant lyrics for the next album" well I don't know. I think that's a load of bull. How can you change everything in such a short amount of time? That being said, I am incredibly excited about whatever they do in the future. future_mrs_martin, I agree with you completely.

Fake. U2 is not going to tour in 06, I already know it. Therefore, anything that fuckin' bogus is a load of shite. End. EDIT: Keeeeeeeeeeelli..... :D :lol:

Me? Eh, I'm sick again. I had to march 2 miles in the freezing rain in a feckin' homecoming parade on Saturday. That did me in. I'm just off to take a nap now, hoping I'll feel better when I wake up.

I don't remember making that post. :stunned: Seriously. Wow. :lol: :lol: :lol: *bows* I try, I try... :rolleyes:

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:
