I think Bono does such a good job of emoting, it's like you can feel the emotion in the songs. I know a lot of people cry, even guys. It's not like a sad kind of crying, for me anyway. Hard to explain :scratch:

Yeah, I think you're right. I can't really identify with the song that much on a personal level, because my life has been mercifully free of deaths of family and friends, but I guess I could just feel it through Bono.
 
I thought of that 2 seconds before I read your post :) I don't drink much so I'm not up with all the alcholic acronyms!

Everyone I know IRL calls me Alison, but if Ali is quicker I don't mind that online :) Kinda feels weird being called Ali in a U2 forum though! :wink:

I identify the song since my mum passed away in summer 2004. Though i had a very good relationship with her.:heart:

Think you're right though. Bonos writng can just make you feel the emotion in the songs. :bono::heart:

I :love: being stood near Adam at shows. You always get attention of him. :wink:

Being a concert n00b at the shows I saw, I didn't really know you had to work for the attention... :D I just kinda stood there politely and hoped he'd lean over near me so I could reach his bass... but unbeknownst to me there were other more cluey fans elsewhere screaming "Let me touch it!!"... :laugh:

I'll know for next time!! :D
 
I'm not a big drinker at all, so I have to go easy on the strong stuff like JD, but a JD and coke on a friday afternoon? I'm all over that.
Not having any JD (or coke, for that matter) on hand at the moment, I'm enjoying an ice cold Guinness. mmmmmm

:giggle:

Me and my friend were stood near his B stage in Manchester England and repeatedly jumped up and down and screamed at him the whole show. He spent most of the show grinning and laughing at us. :lol:

I made Larry kinda smile when he was playing the keyboard in Chicago i think and i shouted Larry really loud. Never got Bono or Edge love during a show though. Yet. :shifty:

:hug: Jem...

That's pretty much the main reason I'm a fan of U2... the songs can make you feel things you've never experienced, and they're just so powerful emotionally.
:heart: U2

My dad is 80, though, and I know that he won't be here forever... I guess that was the other thing that set me off at the show.
 
back for a bit.

i'vw been check past thread, and having trouble looking some different in fo up on the puter next to me. :madspit:
:lol:

so i'm trying another search approach

Alis [distinguish you from THE Ali. :wink:]
my nick name id Dee but i love Dazzled or dazz better! :giggle:

Molly

great story! :hug:
I'm SO glad you finally got to see them.

and DON"t feel bad about LONG posts...I do them when I need to. :uhoh: no one's yelled at me :yell: yet,

BUT come to think of it - sometimes when we have really serious sad/angry things that we need to vent/explain /or discuss some of us DO POST even longer posts!

well when i have more time you & i can talk more on our u2 fandoms....I discovered them JUST BEFORE they FIRST arrived in the USA [1980!}

but i didn't see them till 83 & BRIEFLY, then not totally till late 84. i can tell you more about that if you want sometime. :D

I hope someday to visdit Montana -- Big Sky coubtry.

27 yrs ago i visited other big sky states.....northern Arizona/New Mexico * & South Dakota.

:yes : hopefully one day you will!! :drool :

:lol: Was just about to say that. :)

I found ( apart from the one off at Abbey Road) trying to meet them outside Arena shows in US ( and Canada ) is easiest. ( Though my luck sucked in Toronto and Boston. :lol: )

My pic of Edge from September 05. Me and Wild met him on my 22nd birthday. We were with VP and her daughter Sarah. :heart:

Dazz, I'd LOVE to hear about your "fandom"! You are an old timer, I would totally love to hear all about that. I bet you have a hundred great stories to tell!! Anytime you want to bend my ear, go for it :wink:

Montana is gorgeous. We just moved to Oregon this past summer, and I love it here, but MT will always be home.

I'm saving for my holiday in August first... after that, I'll be saving for U2. I should have plenty of time though, if they follow the new pattern of visiting Australia every other album now... :(
Although if I've got enough money, I'll definitely want to go overseas to see the next tour. It's just so expensive to go to the US or UK/Europe from here... stupid large planet.

:wave: Dazz it is then! I'm only a relatively new fan (circa '98/'99), I feel like I missed out on so much from before that... A friend of mine tried to convert me during the Zoo era but I was too stupid to get it, then.

I met Edge and Larry the day before my birthday last year... I didn't mention it though. :laugh:
