These school holidays I?ve been watching the Zoo TV video, and finally coming to understand why my son loves it so much! The whole thing is spectacular and Bono?s voice searing in its intensity ? the band just seem at the top of their form. Listen to Bono singing I Just Cant Help ?? at the end...

Pop! I believe. There are 2 posts in the top 5 at the moment, and that is not unusual. Do you think Im correct? If so why? If not, which album do you think it is? Im a huge fan, but I think the songs are in the wrong order - it just sort of dies at the end. Pamela

I thought this song would be good to use at school in English - the topic is Image and there is a strong image fo suffering and hopelessness - poetic devices are also good However it ocured to me after all this time that I really dont understand the meaning of the title. Its very effective...

do you think you have played the most over the years. It may not be your favourite necessarily. For example when Im sick(like right now!) I always watch R&H video - bliss! And when Im in the mood thrash October to death. I also play ATYCLB when Im low ? sometimes I think it was written just for...

Happy Birthday! Its 7 am in Sydney right now, and my first task of the day is to wish Bono a HAPPY 43RD BIRTHDAY!! Have a great day with your family and friends - Im sure you will. Ive just read that the African Well Fund raised over $10,000. What a great present for a wonderful and passionate...

When I was reading @U2 there was a notice about the a U2 International Fan Meeting Day - 7pm, local time - April 24. Has anyone ever heard of this? I havnt, but it sounds like a good idea, although i will be away on holidays. Pamela

I was just wondering, as I have only been a fan for about 4 years and somewhat older than most of you.(i will not dwell on my stupidity, but needlass to say I will probably never see U2 live), my passion for them remains undiminished, in fact more intense. I never become sick if the music and...

Day Dreaming What are those spots under your left eye - I?ve often wondered, with those sunglasses its hard to tell. And that scar on your chin ? well, that?s from holding a spotlight on the Edge as you rattled and hummed. As for those bloodshot eyes ? less wine and more slumber is my...

My husband and I caught thr PEACE TRAIN from the Blue Mountains to Sydney to attend a rally and march against war in Iraq. It was the first time for my husband, but I am a veteran of such events. However even I was not prepared for the size and intesity of what I saw - probably about 300.000...

You know what I mean - the minutia of their music. It could just be one note or an entry that sends yoy crazy! Like Bono's heavy breathing in Uf Adam's entry in Gone When Larry & Adam come in together in Zoostation and Discotheque - OMG! backing vocals in Heartland that send me swooning There...

earlier today i replied to a post on U2 gatherings by SimoneU2, (about Sydney U2 fans) however it did not register as being there. I have checked and it is there. I would appreciate some help. Thanks as always Pamela

I dont know if there has ever been a thread devoted to Heartland, so here is one One of my all time favourite songs, up there with the Unforgetable Fire (have been reading and replying to post) it seems to have the same etherial, dreamy quality.- everyone seems to be outstanding Bonos voice is...

Has anyone rediscovered a song from the new Best Of. For me I just get enough of Discotheque and UTTEOTW - also Im really starting to appreciate Electrical Storm. This "rediscovering" thing happens often for me even without a Best Of, but I have never really understood why or how it happens...

Tuesday 10th Dec was International Human Rights Day and seeing it was my turn for prayer at the morning briefing at the school where I work I decided to play Mothers of the Disappeared. I explained the history behind the song, particularly the title and also had printed copies of the words for...

Bad is easily my favourate u2 song and version I love the most is on WAIA, however I dont know where or when it was performed. I suppose it is common knowledge here, but not for this dingbat! Could someone help out? Pamela

In a couple of weeks i will be getting a new car. and thought I may get personalised number plates. I would like it to be U2 related, but not something as obvious as BONO, although that was my first thought. Any ideas? I am at a loss, but i would like something only devoted U2 fans would get -...

Im probably somewhat older than many of you and I have fallen in and out of love with many rock bands in my time, and thought that was just the nature of things - until U2, who seem to have just changed my life so incredibly, and undiminished with the passing of time. - well, I think I just love...

for those from the US you will be in my thoughts and prayers throughout the day. (already morning here) advice - play STUCK if it all gets too much love to you all Pamela

I dont come here all that often and only have a few contributions, but I was wondering if you had ever thought of publishing a book entitled Dream Out Loud with some of the best posts from here and dedicate it to U2. Cost would be a huge problem I know, but there have been some great stuff over...

More Barbed Wire They said here it would be better, but it?s like the moon ? only hotter - only colder. They said here that Australians were friendly and kind hearted, but I am yet to meet their smiling faces of welcome. They said here I would find sanctuary, in this place of broad open...

i've had some desparate times along the way, but I've made it!I have to do this so I can listen to some other music - its either a feast or a famine with me - is anyone else like that? so what should I listen to or watch - at the moment it is between R&H video or listening to the Joshua Tree on...

Just thought I would post some poems again, as there are quite a few new people here - unfortunately have not been writing lately so no new stuff - sorry! Heres one of them Dance of Life He?s seen too many cold and lonely beds that vanish into a blur of memory, disjointed, disconnected - out...

For example, when u feel lika blast Zoo Station, Desire, The Fly and Discotheque For a more contemplative mood Unforgetable Fire, ASort of Homecoming, Heartland In sickness I usually become obsessed with Rattle and Hum - dose myself up, then watch or listen - Pam becomes obsessed! In...

I was thinking about U2 music the other day (as you do) and realised that many of the songs I really love are are first songs. What a collection they are! Just look at them I Will Follow Gloria Sunday Bloody Sunday A Sort of Homecoming Streets Helter Skelter Zoostation Zooroper Discotheque...

I'm home with the flu, and so have time on my hands and thought it was time for a Unforgetable Fire discussion as I just love this album ssssoooo much. Its beautiful, melodic, ethereal, wistful, soothing, lyrical, searing!! well thats enough!! here Bono finds his poetic soul and probably sings...
