Free booze and appetizers. Oh yeah, they played the full album and Bono & The Edge were in the house for an hour-long Q&A, I had several Titos, but my mind is sharp. What do you want to know?

U2 faces a challenge countless bands would envy. They have a treasure chest of war horse hits that fans -- both casual and many serious ones -- expect to hear. But beyond that obligation to their fans is an obligation to themselves -- not to become a dinosaur jukebox act that stops trying to be...

I'm in section 120 at the Forum in L.A. I'm excited about the seats, but the unique stage makes me wonder what my perspective will be. My purchase didn't include a note about "obstructed view" or anything of the like, but when I saw Petty a couples months back the section would be right behind...

The frames will set you back a couple of hundred bucks, but in the end you have a pretty excellent mural, no?

I love my girlfriend, but she tested the limitations of our relationship recently when she made the outrageous (and downright absurd) claim that Bono wears shades because he is, and I quote, "a little cross-eyed." Don't worry, I chastised her for even suggesting something so vicious, before...

... well, according to me anyway. It appeared in the New Yorker, and I think it does a fine job capturing what U2 is all about without coming off as sycophantic. The writer Sasha Frere-Jones, provides very unique takes and clearly has a very strong understanding of the band. "This album is a...

HTDAAB was released in Nov. 2004. The new album is scheduled for a March 2009 release (give or take a month). That's 4.5 years for those keeping score at home, the longest gap between albums in the band's history. The last time U2 had an extended break close to this was between the Zooropa and...

Four men staring down the barrel of 50, with wives, children, business and charity ventures. The lead singer is a respected humanitarian and politician. Thirty-one years into a brilliant career, is it time to expect less of your favorite band? Bono is doing is usual pre-album chatter about new...

Hey everybody. Just realized I'm missing Miracle Drug from the Chicago DVD show and I can't seem to track it down. Would someone be cool enough to send it my way? One love, Mac dhanzus at gmail.com

Back in college, this version of WOWY was all over Napster and the like, and I loved it. It has the Stars snippet and I remember the quality being very good. Anyway, I can't seem to find it anymore and it's long gone from my hard drive. If anyone has it, would it be possible to send my way? I'm...

Anybody have a link where I can score mp3's of the chicago show??? Thanks!

My list, which is one man's opinion...but probably correct. 1- Live Forever 2- Wonderwall 3- Don't Look Back In Anger 4- Champagne Supernova 5- The Masterplan 6- Acquiesce 7- Supersonic 8- Whatever 9- Slide Away 10- Lyla Honorable mention: Don't Go Away, Cast No Shadow, The Hindu Times, Let...

The new album, although critically hailed and armed with a smash first single, has seemingly dropped off the face of the planet, or at least the U.S. Vertigo was a hit obviously, even if they had to work WAY too hard to earn it, All Because Of You was dead in the water from the second it was...

What time do KOL go on? What time do the boys follow? I'm plotting out my tailgating at the Jersey Meadowlands. Thanks for your time.

Who Is The U2 Of Sports? Bill Simmons (AKA The Sports Guy) is God, the rest is just details: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO IS THE U2 OF SPORTS? By Bill Simmons Page 2 Editor's note: This column appears in the March 14 issue of ESPN...

...resoundly at that. http://nme.com/news/111394.htm I saw these guys at Roseland in NYC two summers ago (probably 3,000) capacity. Is it possible they have been underestimating their fanbase here all this time? -Mac Phisto's NY Headquarters

So there's this band Oasis, right? They had this reputation as a volatile and controversial lot, who happened to be quite amusing and often satisfiable. They were hugely popular about 10 years ago around the world. They even made it in the U.S. Some saw them as the successor to U2 as the world's...

I'm in NY and was wondering what time to log on tomorrow...

I guess it was the previous edition, but U2 were the cover story in a piece written by Chuck Klosterman. Does anybody have a copy of this that they can post? Klosterman is a brilliant, and often hilarious writer and I'm so angry with myself that I missed the issue when it was on newsstands...

The same thing happened four years ago with ATYCLB: When the album first dropped, it was genuis, amazing, great lead single, even better songs behind it, etc. etc.. But before long, there were a few dissenters...and then some more...and then some more. Now there are heaps of threads beginning to...

This was a point of contention when the song first hit the net. I remember hearing all kinds of explanations on why it was Bono or why the Edge. Well, after attending the Brooklyn show, it is indeed the Edge. Possibly the best way I've ever had an eternal question answered.

I think it’s safe to say that the latest Rolling Stone review has once again struck a nerve in this forum regarding U2 in the nineties. It’s a recurring trend ‘round these Interference parts. I've been trying to figure out why...(not-so-clever segue-way alert)... Let’s start off this way. Kudos...

What makes this line so "legendary"? I've seen the above adjective used constantly of late when refering to the line. I was just a pup when the song came out, so I was wondering if that was the line that everyone kind of just knew...kinda like "LEONARD BERNSTEIN!" in REM's It's the End of the...

Here's a funny commentary on pyscho Mark David Chapman. For those who don't know (I'm sure most do), Chapman murdered John Lennon in 1980. He's up for parole this year. http://myblogispoop.blogspot.com/2004/10/letter.html

I love reviews. Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em. Here's an interesting one of ATYCLB from Pitchforkmedia.com, a pretentious but ultimately well-intentioned site that features some good writing. Warning: This isn't exactly kind towards the B-Man. Those who love Paul irrationally are going to get...
