This question might have been answered somewhere else, but I will ask it anyway: Was the Joshua Tree B-Side "Beautiful Ghost/Introduction to Songs of Experience" meant to be related in some way to this upcoming album? In other words, is U2 now intentionally connecting back to that idea started...

Agreed, I was at that Irving Plaza show - it was f*cking great and amazing.

Yes! When did interference become a cesspool of U2-haters? So many G*ddamn trolls up in here. Let me know when you start a new forum where real U2 fans can communicate with one another.

Likelihood of meeting your spouse at a U2 concert = highly possible How do I know? Considering that I met a girl at a U2 concert, got married to her and we now have 2 children, I know something about this subject.

Just wanted to re-introduce myself. I used to be on this board quite a bit from 2000 to 2005 and then life got in the way. Anyway, I am a huge fan of U2, always have been always will be. I am 36 years old, originally from Brooklyn, NY, then lived in the Midwest while I got my MBA and then...

very cool, I'm planning on going!

Magnificent is absolutely epic. I honestly cannot fathom how you can listen to it and not come to the same conclusion. Like many other fans on this board, I waited many albums for a song this *classic* to be created. It's a true return to form. It is the sound of an amazing band in full...

Maybe it's just me but I honestly cannot tell the difference between the Magnificent beach clip and the album version. WTF are you hearing that's so much different? Besides, the beach clip's quality sucks - how can you hear details to even make a fair comparison? And the album version is...

Magnificent! :applaud: If this isn't easily the best song on the album, you are smoking something. Certainly the best non-ballad. I'm so proud of the band for embracing their U2ness so fully and without shame or reservation. I love the way the beginning misleads as to suggest something...

u2fan2010@gmail.com Thanks! P.S. I'm buying the expensive album version anyway...

Sorry ace, but I have to disagree. Take a listen to Hutchence's final solo album. That album was all about soul, and could not have been much farther away from swagger. It was a broken, depressed man singing about everything that was going wrong in his life and struggling to keep it together...

I am usually the first person to defend U2, but on this tax issue, I think they absolutely made the wrong decision for several reasons. First, they consider Ireland their home - and the Irish people their "tribe" (remember the Slane DVD). I understand they are an international business but...

I was just listening to some old bootlegs...so many incredible concert moments. Here is just a list off the top of my head. Feel free to add your favorites (there are thousands of these, really). - PopMart Sarajevo (9-23-97): Bono loses his voice completely during the show and, during...

Great article. I would absolutely love it if U2 had the guts to explore more daring themes again. They have played it safe the last two albums and we all know that. At the same time, though, they should be smarter about the next risk they take. Here was the problem with PopMart - no one...

I just want to see the display in his house where he keeps all the shades...it's probably a huge *fly shades* room, with notable categories such as Monday Casual, Monday Politics, Monday Concert, Monday Night After-Party, Tuesday Casual, etc...
