Did that ever come out on DVD?

Spiceworld? I've seen it in bargin bins at department stores for like 5 bucks.

My love for Geri died when she left the group. I kind of liked her first single from the solo album she recorded, uh... I can't remember what it's called. I wouldn't admit that to anyone at the time though. My friends were all extreme Geri h8rz.

I'm going to listen to the Spice Girls right now.

it was called "look at me." i remember the video for it, there was like a funeral scene, i think for her old self or something, a huge moment and stuff.

i'm always a faithful fan, i remember when john taylor announced he left duran duran, i was soooo upset but i still bought his solo album. oh wait, that's cuz he'd already released the first one. oh well, my point is...well i don't really have one i guess, lol.

i'm embarrassed to admit that even though before this past summer it'd been over four years since i'd listened to the spice girls, i still knew all the lyrics to wannabe, including the rap and everything.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

You just want to show me you're Girl Power don't you.

Did that ever come out on DVD?

mayhaps

i've only got it on vhs, which is good cuz i don't actually have a dvd player. i've only got one upstairs on my computer which means we'd have to sit on my bed.

$5... thats $1 for each member of the band.

I'll wait for them to factor in that Geri left and then grab myself a bargin!

mayhaps it's $1.25 per member, or mayhaps posh gets an extra $1 so she can get a burger or something. she's a stick these days.

Nice.

Nothing sets the mood better than that saucy (yet) random birth scene towards the end.

Will they make it to the concert in time?

Oh yeah! Wasn't the video kind of James Bond-ish and involve rain? Hmm. Maybe that's the video for her craptastic cover of "It's Raining Men."

Haha, I had no idea John Taylor ever recorded a solo album.

To this day I still don't have that rap part down. I'd always mumble along and pretend to be one of the cool kids.

it's been so long since i've seen it i completely forgot about that scene! and let's not forget oh hey here we are oh look it's elton john!

And the VHS came with a free movie poster!

i remember the video was in black and white and that's really all i remember. oh! and she was like on a payphone or something?

you didn't know he...omigor. he's recorded like ten of them. plus neurotic outsiders. not to mention his production work with other groups and his work on the roxy music tribute album.

awww, see this is why i would always sing along with the lyrics insert at first so i'd make sure i'd have the lyrics down. during the summer of 97, the three cds i listened to non-stop were: spice girls' spice, U2's pop, and beastie boys' hello nasty. at least i was diverse.

Pop

I didn't buy that album until January '98, a week or two after my birthday. I was too into the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys to care about purchasing that album.

now see, i can at least say i never liked the backstreet boys. i think i bought pop in april or may of 97. i know i at least bought it before i saw the band, which was on 5/14/97. they've not played memphis since. then again, before that, they hadn't played memphis since 1982. so i consider myself lucky.

They've only been to Tucson once: April 5, 1987 on the Joshua Tree tour. Nearly every teacher I had in high school was at that show. They're too huge to ever perform here again.

So.... jealous.

it's probably the same thing here. but then again we've got a huge, brand new arena now and when the first and third legs were announced they actually announced in the paper that U2 weren't playing here. they were all over it. then again they may disagree with the policy our basketball team has about concerts, etc. and i wouldn't mind so much if i were to find out they were boycotting this city because of that. so i tell myself they are to make myself feel better.

i'm surprised they don't play tucson more, i thought it was a bigger city. i think every city's bigger than memphis. at least most cities ACT like they're bigger than us.

So.... jealous.

it's not our fault you were too stupid to not get into them earlier! aww i'm just kidding!

would it kill you if i told you i also bought zooropa right around when it came out? and i can't remember when exactly i bought achtung baby but it was probably in december of 91? i may have been a fan of new kids on the block and debbie gibson but at least i was able to counteract that with my inxs and U2 fandom. so i'd like to think my coolness cancels out or at least lessens my dorkiness.

 

[Queen Bee]

So.... jealous.

Just checked out your profile. You've only been a fan since 2004? Which album was your first? Do you own every album? If so, what was it like diving into U2's back catalog? Where did you begin? Oh, hell... give me your U2 life story, please!

I'm always fascinated by n00bie fans.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

yeah i did the same thing.

tell us!!!!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

You'd think they play Memphis more often after the lovefest they had with the city during the Sun Studios sessions.

We don't have any major arenas, which is why we don't get too many big name acts over here. Everyone always goes to Phoenix/Tempe. On the rare occasion when we do get big acts, they'll usually play at the Tucson Convention Center (same venue U2 played in '87) or the sad excuse we have for an amphitheatre at a local casino.

 

[Queen Bee]

I'm going to go take a shower. I better return to find timothius' U2 life story when I return.

Haha. Attention

I would only say hardcore since last year.

I had a better start to U2 than most considering I was born in a hospital that is 500 metres from One Tree Hill, in Auckland - infact the first thing I ever saw apart from my parents and some rinky dink little hospital room may well have been that (born in October 86 too... I like to think they recorded the song the day I was born... sad).

Anyways I had heard a lot of U2's songs - the Holy Trinity, Pride, Beautiful Day, Sweetest Thing. I had always been a fan, enjoyed there music and regarded them as good but I''d never really bothered to jump into them to any great depth. Had seen Rattle & Hum - completely adored Sunday Bloody Sunday (it stikes a very strong chord with me)

Saw Slane at a mates house at the start of 2004. Dug All I Want Is You -> Streets. That pretty much got me in... started listening to the Achtung Baby, War, JT & UF CD's I had on my Pod (ripped from the Library). Acquired the rest gradually. Zooropa was the last. Only got into that because I had a car accident and wanted to find an appropriate song (I kid you not).

Yeah it is amazing diving into such a depthy catalogue. The other only other artists that have the same diversity/quality for me is the Crowded House/Finn/Split Enz catalogue (which my profile will tell you is my obsession).

I own all the albums on Vinyl... getting there with some singles (I collect vinyl... I have issues). Yeah U2 are pretty good

I'm just jealous because I feasibly could've seen PopMart in Sydney if I were aware/into them at the time, which would've been possible if Discotheque ever took off here - but all I remember from 1997 is Breathe by The Prodigy and Barbie Girl by Aqua. PopMart Sydney .

Jealous of you Queen & Khanada :usesjealousyrayguns:

not to mention eve's first freakin name is memphis! you wanna know where they played when they came to sun studios? yeah, i did some research. they played murfreesboro!! this little boonie town compared to memphis! their population is about a tenth of ours (we're a little under a million, they're a little under 100,000) and yet they got U2 during the joshua tree tour. now granted memphis apparently sucked in the 80s. i wouldn't know cuz i was living in orlando then, but still, that's fucked up.

you guys don't even have any arenas? man, when U2 came here they played at the liberty bowl, which is our big outdoor arena. now we also have the fedexforum (one huge word which looks stupid) where our nba team plays. both of those are pretty big. and hell, the liberty bowl was big enough for U2 during popmart. blah. i hope when i move they're still touring so i can see them again. and stuff.

and come on timothius!!! :cracks whip:

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Zooropa was the last. Only got into that because I had a car accident and wanted to find an appropriate song (I kid you not).

daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car? don't feel bad, that's the first song i listened to when i got back from the hospital after my really bad car accident earlier this year.

i'm still reading your post, but that part stuck out and i wanted to say that, cuz i can.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

k i'm finished reading. so tell me, what's your favourite era/album/song?

i love collecting vinyl as well, don't feel bad. i started doing it back in 01 on a whim because i had the cash and no debt. credit cards suck, you think they're a blessing but they're a curse. anyway, so i just started buying U2 and duran duran (*my* first and other obsession) vinyls on ebay. now of course i've discovered there's second-hand shops around here but i still have found things on ebay i never would have in the shops around here.

come to think of it, i really don't have that much U2 vinyl. i've got like maybe 10-15 singles and only one album i think.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

omigor queen bee i was checking your profile...i thought your occupation said "my blow jobs"

 

[timothius]

k i'm finished reading. so tell me, what's your favourite era/album/song?

i love collecting vinyl as well, don't feel bad.

Favourite Era: Zoo -> Pop.
Favourite Album: Achtung Baby (the best balance of experement/music/lyric that they got)
Favourite Song: I don't want to open that can of worms. I'm sure you feel my pain.

Vinyl is very cool.

I have plans for my vinyl, big plans. When I buy my first house I'm going to get a big old jukebox and stick a whole lot of '45's in there. It will be cool (I think... but I was born in the wrong era).

Daddy's Gonna Pay, yup... Dirty Day struck a chord as well though. Truth beknown though Daddy did not pay for my crashed car. Goodbye 2 months wages .

I also hope my post met any expectations Queen Bee may/may not have had while she was in the shower.

don't you at least have a top five or something? come on! i'm still sore because it took like eight rounds for my favourite song to finally be voted off on survivor.

ooh really? are you gonna put on tight jeans and a leather jacket and shake your butt in front of it too?

haha, yeah well thank god for car insurance, i got some money for my car. although i still do not have a car, but that's got nothing to do with money and that's a whole other can of worms.
