    U2 to Perform First Concerts at MSG Sphere in Las Vegas

    This is going to be ridiculously popular. Demand far in excess of a 12 show supply. More dates will inevitably be added…with this “residency” extending well into 2024. Which likely gives Larry a chance to join. Which gives all the people who saw it pre-Larry a reason to buy tickets for a...

    A quick thought on NLOTH

    The title track and Breathe are among my favorite U2 songs. Rest of the album for me is forgettable.

    Which is the better album - Pop or Zooropa?

    Zooropa, to me, was the creative peak of U2. As has been said, they were so confident in what they were doing. And that confidence is manifest in a strong way in every aspect of the album, tour, image, artwork, lyrics, music, characters, interviews, etc. For me, U2’s entire career could have...

    U2 Isn't Radical Now

    Flamethrower? Really? I don’t get people who allow the political machine to impact their happiness. All politicians on BOTH SIDES are crooks & liars, saying only what will get them re-elected, and in the end, nothing ever gets accomplished. Obama sucked and Trump sucks too. Poke fun at it...

    The U2 Experience on SiriusXM Channel 30

    It’s a great channel, but if they extend it again and/or make it permanent, they really need to give it the Beatles Channel treatment. Meaning they need some guest DJs and special countdowns and programs to keep things interesting. With U2’s catalog, it could totally be done well, and I’d love...

    Red Flag Day Appreciation Thread

    I just listened to the entire album start to finish for the first time and this was definitely the track that stood out the most to me. Sounds like it could have easily been on Boy, October, or War. A great energy to it and really captures some of that rebellious spirit that U2 had in its very...

    Any word on ticket prices for 2018 shows?

    As a huge U2 fan since the 80s, count me among those who feel these prices are just flat out ridiculous. I was pre-verified, or whatever Ticketmaster calls it, and I went into the date of Citi pre-sale with no clue what the prices were. When I saw $350+ for a "decent" seat about halfway up on...

    Songs of Experience - Part IV

    I'm with the guy who said U2 don't really care about their true fans. They spew all this hype, and yet albums take YEARS. When the albums finally come out they are far too mainstream and that is because this band is more concerned about attracting the Bieber crowd than doing something for the...

    U2 Sirius XM Town Hall - Listen Here

    This interview was so frustrating...especially the SOE part. There was first a canned, fan question, which the band skated around and never really answered. Then the moderator followed it up to push them for more info, and basically Edge finally conceded that "the one thing I can say about SOE...

    Songs of Innocence - Album Discussion Pt.3

    Initially I was hooked on the first 4 songs, and those only. Repeated over and over. Lately, I am listening more to the back half of the album. Those songs have really grown on me and I find them to be the best of the bunch today. Overall, the album is still in heavy rotation on my player...

    Song For Someone - Song Discussion

    "The short film harks back to the Joshua Tree era with its desert motifs and haunting image of a a lone tree and is seen by some as an effort by U2 to appeal to their core audience following the backlash they received after their album was automatically downloaded to user's Apple itunes...

    Changing the 'Innocence' set

    Honestly, I wouldn't touch a thing about the "Innocence" setlist. Everything just flows so well and has such a great feel. Where I would change things up significantly is the second half of the show. I guess I can see the point of always starting with Invisible - even though I don't care for...

    So how are the new songs holding up?

    Reading a lot of press reviews that claim the new songs are highlights of the show. A few are going so far as to suggest that many of the warhorses are sounding quite tired....

    Everything Great about SOI Era

    Add me to the list of those who have yet to get tired of this album. I have not listened to a new U2 album this much since Zooropa was released.

    2016 Rumour Dates?

    I work in the industry that runs and manages professional sports arenas and stadiums. I know for a fact that U2's organization has been talking to Heinz Field (NFL stadium) in Pittsburgh about a future gig. Nothing locked in yet, and I don't know details on what dates they are targeting.

    So how are the new songs holding up?

    From the YouTube clips, I really like what I am hearing/seeing from SOI. Quite honestly, they seem to be the hightlight(s) of the show for me. The few media reviews I have read online specifically call out the new songs - and most have said very positive things about them. For those who have...

    Thoughts after watching opening night?

    I feel a bit apprehensive in posting this, given that my experience of opening night was via Periscope, and perhaps someone who was actually there can weigh in and (hopefully) tell me I am way off base. But, here goes...... I really enjoyed the show. The screen is amazing, but seems...

    Vancouver #1 setlist party (part 2)

    That stage needs a lot of things. It is begging to be utilized more than it was. Cedarwood Road was THE highlight, largely due to the use of the screen. I'm very surprised they didn't do that type of thing for more of the show.
