Iggy Fizz
War Child
Hi - I am new to the Interference community. Longtime fan (1986 or so).
Curious to the views of the fans here about the upcoming tour and delayed album. I realize these topics have probably been debated to death from one angle or another.
Having said all that... I find myself caring less and less about the band as time goes on. Part of this is my own age and living a busy life. But I must admit it has a lot to do with the endless album delays and now this tour which I am conflicted about. I have decided to skip it (I may grab tickets if there is a drop at reasonable prices for the show in my town, but I doubt it).
I am also at the point of wondering if I even really care about, or want, another U2 album. If SOE (or whatever they decide to call it) is anything like SOI then i am ok to not hear another one from them. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed SOI and still listen to a few tracks, but for me it had a short shelf life.
I am skeptical the band is capable of musical greatness again. The front man is a traveling saleman/politician, and the shows seem less and less rock n roll each tour. More broadway and technical wizardry, including artificial sound.
What are the thoughts here? Still as excited as ever? Hopeful but doubtful (like me)? Completely disenchanted? Something else?
thanks for taking the time to read my ramble...
cheers
