“My name is Mr. MacPhisto, I’m here to sing for your soul. The goal. Is Elevation“ (Laval, Rehearsals, April 14, 2018)

Really?

 

[Hewson]

Really?

Would be so U2 to bring out MacPhisto, get the diehards expecting HMTMKMKM and go into Elevation.

 

[DeVaul]

Which is why The Showman is soooo obvious to use instead.

 

[CosmoKramer]

Please no!!!

FFS.....a 60 year old man dressed as the devil who is worth 500 million dollars yelling through a bull horn about politics.....I’m going to need to drink a few of them $15 beers at MSG to get through some parts of this show!

Totally agree, on zoo tv it was cool, a 59 year old Bono doing it in 2018 not so cool.

Something on the video screen would be good though

 

[corianderstem]

I dunno, I bet there's a lot of material to milk with an Aging MacPhisto.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

But is MacPhisto to obscure for the casuals?

 

[DeVaul]

Y'know, it needs to be said. They just did a huge tour of their biggest album, so...

Fuck the casuals.

 

[corianderstem]

If they can play Zooropa while hidden behind the screen for the bulk of a leg of a tour, they can do a little MacPhisto.

The casuals can go get a beer. They'll live.

 

[DeVaul]

Zooropa was great.

 

[blueskies]

I think if anything we will get a MacPhisto 2.0. The appearance on Jimmy Kimmel is a good indication of what MacPhisto might look like today. Worked pretty well imho. In any case this got me really excited. Hope it's more than just a short intro. MacPhisto as the Showman would be pretty cool for example.

I'm ashamed for both of you that you thought my concern for the casuals was real.

 

[DeVaul]

Oh I knew it wasn't. My disdain is in good company here.

 

[DeVaul]

Also, fuck the casuals.

 

[corianderstem]

You assume I didn't know that? Now I am ashamed of you! ;-)

 

[super fly guy]

Maybe MacPhisto will be part of the augmented reality? Just a thought.

[Partyslammer]

Any word about a possible final "open" dress rehearsal tonight like what they've done most previous tours.

 

[trevgreg]

Also, fuck the casuals.

Also a comment I see on most band message boards....

 

[prbiker15]

Any word about a possible final "open" dress rehearsal tonight like what they've done most previous tours.

Tonight’s most likely going to be the last one, but it’s probably easier for “non fans” to see a rehearsal in a place like Vancouver or Barcelona...not sure about Tulsa.

 

[Catman]

Kinda expected Kite to make an appearance on this tour.

 

[martha]

Will being played on this tour be the best thing to ever happen ABOY?

This... this is so good.

 

[RoKKeR]

Just listened to 13 from the BBC... it really is a haunting tune, and I can see it being pretty captivating, especially if they pair it with so,e interesting visuals. If they want this to be the end cap... so be it.

On the other side of things, Love is Bigger just sounded thin.
