Admits Guilt. BBC News - Lostprophets' Ian Watkins guilty of child sex offences What this guy did or attempted to do is beyond words.

Came across some guys blog which linked to another site which has a number of music bloggers/music critics writing about what U2 means to them. Very interesting read.. The Hurst Review When Paul Hewson, Dave Evans, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen formed a band in the late 1970s, the name they...

http://content.ytmnd.com/content/b/c/e/bce73b6cbf5a54c2e6053fde66f20755.gif A wee bit flabbergasted and empty. How insignificant we humans are in the whole scale of things. Very mindboggling and very hard to get head around. Here is a BBC article relating to the above images with a wee...

Taken from Sunday Independent in Ireland - Personally, I think all these court proceedings over a stetson etc. does seem a wee bit absurd. Then again, there is a new greatest hits album to promote.. call me cynical... Tell Lola we love her in Bono's stuff Lola Cashman faces financial...

Having not opened the Bible since school days, I thought I'd sit down and read it again. Has anyone done this recently? I'd like to think I believe in God (was brought up a Catholic) but I don't go to mass or am overtly religious in any way. Am not sure if sitting down and reading the bible...

Did anyone watch it? 50 min program following the band as they rehearsed in Mexico & Vancouver and right up till opening night where Bono was nearly sick with nerves. Really good show..

I think I'll do the lottery this week!! Is there anyone else going??

Have tried to find a thread about travelling and could not find one, so thought I would try to start one... Am Irish, currently living in London. Have lived in both US and Australia and have travelled through Asia, Africa, Europe and South Pacific. Am due to be relocated with work to Asia end...

With concrete, you have a gap every so often filled with tar so that in hot weather there is room for concrete to expand. When walking, I have to make sure I have taken the same amouht of steps between each line of tar. Similarly, if I scratch left ear, I have to scrath rmy ight ear. Is this...

My friend was sharing a two bedroom flat with me in London when he went back home to Ireland in early December as he lost his job - anyone who knows London knows its an expensive place to live in without work, so his plan was to come back in early January when market picks up a little. Anyway...

Some of you might enjoy this interview with Bono from this weeks Sunday Observer Magazine in UK (todays) Some good photos also, including front page of magazine from 1999 with U2 and each of their fathers in the photo dressed in black suits, white shirt and black tie. Also link -...

As the tour is about to kick off, am really intrigued what the setlist may be... Firstly concerning HTDAAB, most if not all probably lends itself to being played live. I would guess at least half, if not 2/3rds of the set would be made up of songs from both HTDAAB & ATYCLB or do you think they...

Anyone heard this before? Was listening to Virgin radio (here in UK) and they played it and the DJ loved it.. presume its an old mix but i never heard it before..

Just wondering what makes people love U2? Is it the music or the lyrics? Or both? What was the reason for your first attraction to U2? For me, it was definitely the music and the sound of U2. As I got older, I realised the true meaning behind a lot of the lyrics. As a kid growing up, I...

Good interview in Irish Times 23rd Dec with Bono and Larry. Should be available online - am rushing out the door (some last minute shopping!!) so don't have time to type it up.

BBC news have a clip of U2 in NY - saw it on news earlier. Its also available on BBC News website. http://news.bbc.co.uk Scroll down and on right hand side of page you will see a link.

Due to a very kind girlfriend and my eagerness to buy the deluxe version of new album, but mostly down to bad timing, I have a spare deluxe version of HTDAAB (with book) to sell or sway. Its still in its plastic wrapper and has not been opened. Can ship anywhere in world for free (very kind...

Solid rock and castles on sand David Sinclair On their umpteenth album U2 are stronger than ever, while Eminem falters on his sixth “IT’S A long way to the top if you wanna rock’n’roll,” sang AC/DC. What they didn’t mention is that it’s an equally long and often much swifter journey back...

hey all, read a small article about Enniskillen bombing the other day and it reminded me of Rattle & Hum and Bono's "Fuck The Revolution" rant during Joshua Tree tour... Where ha e 17 years gone?? Nearly sure the bombing was 9th November, so 17 years ago yesterday...

A lot of people think that HTDAAB has various sounds from previous U2 albums. Which previous U2 album do you think each track would fit best on? For me... Vertigo - AB Miracle Drug - AB Sometimes - ATYCLB LPOE - AB All Because of you - Pop City of blinding lights - UF Crumbs from your table -...

Great interview - seems apt considering the days events... U2 interview: Group therapy BY CHRISSY ILEY For 25 years, U2 have been through personal loss, drugs, alcohol, and rows on a titanic scale, even by the standards of the rock business. And yet they are still together. In a rare...
