I saw Out of Control and In God's Country at the November Dallas show. That was probably my biggest musical treat of the tour.

So Maria, I'm guessing that you're from Texas too . Which shows did you catch? I was at both Dallas shows and the Austin one - maybe we were in a GA line together!

courtney....you are one lucky woman! the dallas shows were the 2 i missed!
i can't believe my luck!

i was at the houston show (no GA) in april and the austin show last month! i was number 137, sorry i missed you seeing you there!

Thanks for the compliments on my choice of Billy Boola! It's a Bono/Gavin Friday song from the soundtrack to "In the Name of the Father," for those wondering. If you don't have that soundtrack, go buy it! Right now!

I didn't buy it but I just downloaded it!!! what a great song! *maria's disco dancing as she types!*

i gotta go look for the lyrics, typical Bono song...the lyrics sound rrreaaalll sexy!

This is hard, I like all their songs. I would have to say:

1. Discoteque (sp?)
2. A Sort of Homecoming
3. Bullet the Blue Sky
4. New Years Day
5. I will follow

 

[sparkys girl]

Okay, you guys got me hooked! I just love 'billy boola'...it's got such a great, funky dance beat! I can't believe I'd never heard of it before. I already had 'in the name of the father', but that song's tempo is so different.
I just luuuuvv to dance, I guess that is what i love best about 'pOp' and 'ZoOrOpA'...*maria still dancing around to billy boola!*

I also love "Out of Control" - I was lucky enough to hear them play that AND the acoustic version of "In God's Country"! If they had thrown in "Stay" or "Party Girl" I might have fainted dead away...

Great selections courtney!

where did you see them play 'out of control' and 'in god's country' live?!?! was it here in texas?!?!?

------------------
Bono: There is a bit of my guitar playing, but honestly it's sad.
Larry: It is. But Bono looks great with it.

Take my shirt, go on take it off me
You can tear it up If you can tie me down


* U2 Take Me Higher *

 

[Party Girl_75]

"I turn slightly and catch Bono with half a Perrier bottle in his mouth. He's sucking the thing in such a manner it would put Madonna to shame!"

"I'm very secure with the fact that I'm not black. I'm white, pink and rosy. But I've got soul."
--Bono

?We make music you can have sex to.?
--Bono

"Girls boys listen me kiss love fun drink sick kiss cuddle sex swim sea rock and rub." (from the gates of Bono's house)

Great thread!
My top 5 for this week:
Red Hill Minning Town
Trip through your wires
Zooropa
Elevation
In God's country
BTW: they are in random order. I just can't decide which one I prefer better

 

[Scottphisto]

Hmm...maybe I shouldn't post on this thread...I mean, the subject line being what it is could have adverse effects...

ANYWAY...
NOT IN THIS ORDER
1 Elevation (WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!)
2 Discoteque (BOOM-CHA!!)
3 H.M.T.M.K.M.K.M. (Fwiggin' RAD gee-tar part!! Break it down, Edge!!)
4 The Fly (Who can hate a song called "The Fly"???)
5 Hmm...Sunday Bloody Sunday

I realize these are kinda obvious as they are some of the bigger hits as well as being a tad recent (with a few exceptions) but I'm a fledgling U2 fan. I'm sure as I'm exposed *snicker* to U2 *gasp* more, I'll grow *snicker AND gasp* to like more obscure songs.

*GIGGLE*

Finally a man who appreciates the 'Boomcha!' that is my fave part too!

Dont worry about your choice being too 'obvious', your opinion is all that counts!

flying U2 was cool! especially 'cause they were 'EVIL'!!! though sparky is too sweet to be 'EVIL'...i wish they would have flown around the set a bit more, at times they seemed to hang there in the air!

WTF? I thought Angelina and Edgie didn't make the scenes together. Who can tell me if I'm right or wrong?

Yer right. Edge filmed his scenes seperate, and they just digitized him in with Angelina. But, even in a digitized setting, he's closer to her than I am.

DAMN YOU EDGE!!!
