Here's a tip for you. I've been a Propaganda .com so am one of the first to renew each year. Therefore I usually have to wait a full year before I receive my gift. In order to get your CD, threaten to withdraw your sub and demand a refund. Send them an email stating this. They're in...

Es?

a pedestrian start to the set list... As much as I love Breathe, there's no way they should start gigs with that song. It's way too slow a record. It won't get people off their seats. Having NLOTH as the second tune won't help either. They need something lively. Think back to previous...

Is it me or does it not look tall enough? Difficult to get a true perspective from the images I admit, but it doesn't look big enough to offer those in the upper tiers of a stadium an unrestricted view.

yes. Wembley is app tomorrow, yet I've not received my email

I haven't received my email. Should I be worried?

By the way, back in the old days of Propaganda, tickets could be ordered AFTER the ticket sale to the general public, and seats on the ZOO TV tour were like 1st and 2nd row reserved seats - no GA "mosh pit"! Those were the days... You must be joking. My Zoo TV seats from Propaganda for Earls...

Fact is, the record just isn't good enough. Most of us are liking it (myself included) because we're forcing ourselves too because it's U2. But aside from their hard core audience, I can't imagine many enjoy it. No one has said to me they like the new U2 single. Far more people are talking...

I knew someone who wrote to Bono,. As he didn't know his address he wrote on the envelope saying 'Please Mr Postman could you post this to Bono'. Amazingly a few weeks later, he got a signed photo back from the man himself. And that's a true story. I did the same and got no reply!

There was an almost identical thread on this topic earlier on this forum, prompted by someone wondering why commercially, the Best of CD hadn't been hugely success. What we tend to forget is that the album isn't for the likes of your and I - harcore fans - but casual fans, who like U2's music...

no other song creates such jubilation and rejoice amongst crowds as Streets. I've seen loads of other bands and no one has such as spine-chilling intro such as Streets, and no other U2 song makes the crowd go wild like Streets. There are better U2 songs than Streets, but when that intro...

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree, and fans being fans will never agree on the tracklistings for best of compilations as we love so much of their music. it's still a great album, that's not in question. it's just that i, along with many others, feel it could have been a lot...

greatest hits, best of, whatever. the fact remains that the band didn't select their strongest hits/records/tunes/material from 90-2000 and thus it suffered commercially as a result. Casual fans, of which best of/greatest hits compilations are targeted at would not have heard of HTBAmerica...

so what makes the biggest band in the world? record sales + critical aclaim + tour ticket sales + media coverage = biggest band in the world (in my opinion)
