    Australia Tour Announcement?

    You'll get a code for if/when the tour is announced and it will be emailed to you and be on your account info page. I believe there are 3 or 4 membership levels which means joining now you'd be in the last access group for pre-sale tickets.

    Bono and His Donations

    I just always remember that he knows a different person to the one I look up to (Rock Star Bono) and to be fair not all of his stories are negative. He told me who he was related to, which took me all of a few minutes to believe him because he whipped out the photos and then spent ages telling...

    Bono and His Donations

    Ok...without giving too much away (pun intended), I know a direct member of Bono's family, very well, who lives and works on this side of the pond. For obvious reasons he very rarely tells anyone this and it took him a while to divulge that information to me as I've never made it a secret that...

    Concert Bloopers

    Vertigo Tour...first leg, one of the shows - could even have been the second one. "40" where Adam decided to play his guitar harmonics in the wrong key putting Bono's vocals way out of tune too...there's video of it somewhere...I think...!

    Heartland my favorite Bono vocal

    Heartland is one of my favorite U2 songs. It was in the progress of being written during the end of the Joshua Tree sessions and was finished for Rattle & Hum. Everything about the entire song just sends shivers down my spine. The music, the vocal, the lyrics. I love that song so much

    Best thing I've heard them do in ages. Ok it's a cover, but they sound real good.

    Elvis Presley And America: reconstructed

    I think it is the entire track, but there is also some overdubbed acoustic guitar on there as well as Bono's improvised vocals.

    Elvis Presley And America: reconstructed

    From recollection, the entire musical backing track to EPAA is just A Sort of Homecoming slowed down and played backwards. Brian Eno then got Bono to improvise lyrics over the top of it on a first listen. It wasn't a work in origress song or anything. It was purely a studio experiment.

    U2 - Signed Boy LP (Original 'thick' Vinyl) For Private Sale

    Hi All, I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this on here... Unfortunately a change in my personal circumstances has led me to be forced into selling a few items and as much as I've tried not to have to do this, I am regretably looking to sell my signed U2 Boy Vinyl Album as it's about...

    Tribute Bands Are The Enemy of Art: U2 Edition

    I played a gig with The Doppelgangers, who were the Official U2 tribute Band for a while. They were also in the video Even Better Than The Real Thing. From recollection they weren't too bad either. Some of these though are just plain dreadful. You probably shouldn't single any particular ones...
