Aw, the first 7 posts in this thread were so.. cute and innocent! Refreshing Anywho, I saw the video below yesterday and it got my heart racing and juices flowing. Hadn't seen it in years and forgot how intense it is. Why is it only U2 can exhilarate me in this way? Wanted to share it here...

No you're right, they weren't 2012 pics so by the title of the thread you were entitled to take me up on it. They were really a response to Maserati comments - I love the car! :sad:.. :D

They were really just to say "nice car that Bono drives, isn't it?" I think it's a unique choice and expresses individuality. The obvious choice for Bono would be something like a Merc S-class or Bently. I like that he chose the inobvious, I like to be inobvious myself! ..But I'm relatively...

No I know those guys - they're gambling debt enforcers called Knuckles and Tiny, and they've come to put the squeeze on Dallas after a Superbowl disaster goin back a few months. Dallas is sayin: "Everything's okay, we've cut a deal and we're workin it all out." But I don't trust these guys, so...

It's a common theme with U2 isn't it? Strong long-term relationships. Loyalty. It extends even to fans, I know it does to me. Besides family, just look at how long they've been with the same manager, Dallas and the other techs, Joe O'Herlihy, Willie Williams, boyhood friends, producers, the...

Never ceases to amaze me - these guys are married nearly 30 years, and every time you see em together they look like newlyweds. When Bono sings "I was born to be with you", he aint kiddin. :love:

Ah, understood! Sorry for the mixup then

"Liar" as in has contradicted himself, or has been intentionally deceitful? If you're claiming the 2nd, that's a pity. Why support the band if that is your view? Btw I'm assuming you have never lied in your life? I on the contrary have lied many times in my life, but I'm not the same calibre of...

There was a discussion about lyrics in R&H, and someome mentioned Elevation's lyrics being throwaway. I just said not everything should be deep and meaningful and gave an example of the final 2 lines of No Line as something that was extremely deep, and to my mind, also brave. I was glad to be...

I will always regard it as a brave ending - to be precise, by ending of the album, I was not referring to final song, but the very final statement of the album, or sentence even. I did not find Cedars at all depressing until the final 2 lines. First time I heard the song, I was not expecting...

ah, good work! mmm charming bottom pic, what's with that?? Is that like just jealousy, or did Bono beat him up I wonder? :hmm: Ungrateful jackass! U2 must've done a helluva lot for that town, bringing visitors (like yourself) and such

Characteristic meaning prevailing, not universal ffs. The mood U2 would be most associated with. You're right about the same thing applying to Dead Man as a closer, good point. But I don't find anything remotely depressing about Love is Blindness. That album is generally dark, but I think...

Because on first appraisal, it sounds pretty depressing! Like he's ending the album on a major downer or bum note. Which runs contrary to U2's characteristic mood of uplift. I'm glad you think it's a great way to end the album, cuz that's an enlightened view. It most certainly wasn't my initial...

Yep

Exactly. Why even bother? When Love Comes to Town the greatest ever? No. But I didn't say that. Someone majorly into gospel music might think differently. What I said was: "Bono is one of the greatest lyricists ever" and that's inarguable over 30+ years. It was also true by 1987 (One Tree...
