Bill Flanagan's introduction to "U2: The Complete Songs"

[poncho_m]

Please read this essay by Bill Flanagan, i found it really amazing, and it describes perfectly the way that U2 creates the songs.
Post any comment you have about it.
Probably some of you have seen it before, but if you haven't it is really good.

Look for it at: http://www.atu2.com/news/archives/00/completesongs.html

Yup, it's a pretty good summary of the power of U2.

Thanks for the tip poncho_m, I use to check @U2 website very often but I had missed that review. BTW, does anyone here have the book U2 The Complete Songs? What are your impressions about it? I have a special interest in books about them, so any help would be great.

i have it.
its thick
but there arent many words
it has that great intro by Bill.
discography
videography
live dates
chronology
some awesome pics
the lyrics of every song
and then the sheet music from every song

its an expensive book - I paid AUS$50 for it. But Im obsessive

If you want the lyrics of all the songs its good to have. Although I think ive found some lyrics are incorrect.

there are some good pics though.

hope i helped

Thanks for the info zooropamanda, your post was helpul, for sure. I already have 7 books about them but I always want more. Yeah, this can be called and obsession!
And about the lyrics, I read a review about the book at @U2 where the guy said the same thing: some lyrics are not so accurate. Anyway probably I?m gonna buy it later, I can?t help it!
