And “Do You Feel Loved” openly used parts from Naked Funk/Alien Groove Station.. They do this now and then. But in Pop they could say they weee “sampling” because it was cool at the time and fit what POP was supposed to be about.

I’m thinking that the band went into the studio to work on new Album material and/or do some early prep for the Sphere and Larry discovered his body wasn’t holding up. Perhaps he thought the long r&r since the last albums and tours would help, but as to Headache’s “got worse since” take, this...

Mysterious Wheys?

Like a Dong I used to swing… I swing it for you…

I’m hoping the show is like The Last Dance, a bit. Have the band in the present working on the new album and flashing back to the biopic-style story of how they got there. Album follows the show. It could be the sniff of relevance that they’ve been after.

For a tour where one of the opening songs started with “Shouldn’t be here cuz I should be dead” I wasn’t too picky on the band not spending extra effort on mixing up the stage presentation. I did feel the fist iteration of the tour held together better, but just like when the 360 tour resumed, I...

Those backgrounds in movies that actors act in front of? Sometimes green screens, sometimes large paintings? Also fake.

On my first listen to SOE I was eager for the opening track to finish so I could get to some meatier tracks. My first impression was more or less, “That’s it? Not much there, barely a song”. for the next couple of days I was surprised to find that the one turn other than Red Flag day that kept...

I think the band re-doing Red Hill Mining town for the JT anniversary tour was what they’re aiming for in general - putting some songs in a context that will allow the band to continue to - or start to- play them live going forward. Bono has mentioned his voice being strained into his 60’s.

Revoice!

23. Song For Someone 24. 13 (there is a light)

If the little person's size was also a metaphor for how he felt about himself, then choosing the cast of youth for the Love is Bigger video is a metaphor for...

Heff's poetry was always underrated. :up:

I read a review somewhere of SOE that said it was the sound of a band trying to give too many fucks. U2 always gave too many fucks, but that review seemed to think it was forced, contrived fuck-giving at that moment. I've also read comments here where there's a desire to go back to the 'we...

I didn't care much for Miami for the first few spins, but then two things happened: - Miami's neighbor, Playboy Mansion ,really got on my nerves. The hate Miami gets should really be diverted by the gravity of that song. It sort of shone a bit more next to it. - I saw a special on TV about...
