old u2 fan feeling like a new fan again

[capetown172]

Hey all,

I've been a U2 fan since I was about 14...now I'm 33, corporate job, married, living in the DC area and my wife still hasn't gotten used to me being such a big U2 fan. We've all experienced the "downtime" U2 gives us of 3 or 4 years between albums and tours, but it's been incredible lately to see the awesome buzz out there about the new songs and upcoming tour.

My favorite line from Bono from several years ago during the Pop Mart Tour was "we're going to look for new sounds, new feelings, new colours," and after listening to their new songs, I think they've achieved that goal.

Well, I better go watch SNL to see them live. Have a great evening everyone.

Ciao

too bad they were not an American band...they may be considered the best of all...instead of that stupid aerosmith.

Hi

Aerosmith???? Where did that come from??

because aerosmith has lately been hailed as the all-time greatest American rock band, which makes me ill...i think it is van halen, but if u2 was American, there would be no question.
