LP13 Discussion - Rumor Has It: Sirens, iTunes Festival, etc.

But then they came out dressed as the village people, announced their tour at a KMart, and then came out on stage as caricatures of themselves. It was too much for North America.

What do you mean by "too much"?

Please explain.

I enjoyed many U2 shows in both Vancouver and Toronto! Both great cities to see them! My last U2 concert was in Seatle 360 and it was maybe slightly better then the earlier Vancouver 360 show I went too! Just too bad on the way home
From the Seatle show a huge truck crashed in front of me but going the other direction! Therefore with a car totally demaged by it, it was not a fun way back to Canada on a tow trucklol

Please explain.

Too much insincerity, they wanted U2 to still take themselves somewhat seriously.

Hmmmm. I tend to think The Village People thing was rejected and laughed at because people thought it was lame and stupid. Probably because it was lame and stupid.

This thread is almost finished. I know a lot more about Popmart than I did before, but not much about the new album!!

Today is the last day of July. We should know something serious by the last day of August. Stand by...

Just think like 4 or 5 threads ago we were all so sure that by the end of that thread we would know about the album! Will the next thread be THE one? I really hopeso!

I think there will be a minimum of 5 threads before we get any info. Trying to be as negative as possible.

Don't count on it!

 

[prbiker15]

The threads won't end until the album is out.

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

Being optimistic here but yeah there could easily be 10 more Coldplay/rush/bono fat jokes threads before any concrete album news. Then will come the leak pun threads until the album is actually out! Long road ahead ha

 

[gvox]

It's honestly fucking stupid now. We should just stop and not make a new one.

 

[prbiker15]

Too late.

Funny. I just watched part of that concert on youtube the other day. Best version of discotheque I've seen. They put on a heckuva show. But when they zoomed out on the arena, it was empty and everyone was just standing around while U2 were rocking their balls off. I think stuff like that is why the last 15 years have been safe. They stopped taking risks when it got to the point of being humiliated.

the band rocked the house that night. i was so disappointed to see the stadium half empty.
