I would rather have mediocre Bono written lyrics that include "kneel" at least twice than anything written by this guy. Is Bono not confident in his lyric writing anymore? I have to wonder. I do recall a number of reviews of the last few albums that trashed his lyrics, so hmmm.

Does anyone recall a few years back when the guys in INXS did an interview publicly accusing U2 of stealing ideas from them? The guys were saying how they kept warning Michael to stop talking about music with Bono as Bono was stealing ideas and using them. No way Bono would ever do a song with...

I agree its the fans that are actually in crisis. We all know that after this tour ends, they are going to be taking a long vacation, and where will that leave new material? Bono and Edge especially, thanks to Spidey, have to be ready for a long break. I doubt if they will get back into the...

This is true, that forum is infinitely more pleasant to browse than here and it's getting nearly as active too.

I guess Glastonbury is a big deal in England, but where I live, it doesn't make the news, ever. The only time I ever read about it was when I would go to Barnes and Noble to read Q. Just another concert to me. The UK press has hated them for a while, and it seems they will always hate them, I'm...

I saw Zoo TV 8 times, there was the B stage section where like one song or two was switched out, that was all. It was not different songs every night, it was a more static setlist than 360. Surprises? LOL

As far as Korean dramas, I am watching Alone in Love right now. So far I have seen Winter Sonata, Stairway to Heaven, Lovers in Paris, Someday, How to Meet a Perfect Neighbor, Gloria, Country Princess, Coffee Prince, My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Bodyguard, Beethoven Virus, Soulmate and Snow White.

Sorry I never found this thread before :doh: I'm a longtime U2 die-hard since the 80's, and I LOVE JPOP and JROCK! I absolutely love L'arc en Ciel, they are my favorite, and HYDE's solo work as well. I also love Utada Hikaru, TM Revolution, Gackt, Yoko Kanno, B'z, Glay, Gazette, Fukuyama...

Nothing justifies the hate this show is getting, and has been getting since before it started previews. It's irrational hate, even giddiness at every problem they have encountered. It's just a Broadway show, I don't care how big it is or who is involved, nothing justifies this intense hate. Does...

I too have to wonder why the hate is so intense these days. I get Google Alerts about U2 news and whenever I visit a story on a newspaper site or blog, there's nearly always some awful comments. I've seen really extreme comments that are downright scary. One site had the trailer for Killing Bono...

I could sure go for a 30-second teaser clip about now.

I read recently that Cirque has had 18,000 injuries.

I was a huge INXS fan before I was a U2 fan, but I just don't see the influence on U2 at all. Any similarities you can pick out are really stretching it I think. U2 was more influenced by European dance/trance/industrial and all that type of music.

There's a thread on U2.com as well as a Facebook page for wishing Bono well I think. But this is a nice idea too.

It would be cool if Bono started to Twitter about his recovery... since he'll be going stir crazy I bet.

It would be nice to have an update about Bono, I would understand if they hold off announcing anything about the tour, but they could at least let us know if he's recovering ok.

I would be shocked if they release anything new this year or even next year. You know how they are. They like to settle in to their "normal" lives after a tour is over, Edge with his houses in Malibu, Larry taking his kids to school everyday, Adam doing his whatever, Bono with his million other...

Hey, what about "Driving to Midnight Mass on a Dublin Christmas Eve"? Though I guess it's not really a song.

I want to order some items from the U2.com store as Christmas gifts, but some of the t-shirts I want are only available in small, do they get more sizes in eventually for some stuff or am I out of luck? I want XL. Also, does anyone know if I can use my 25% off coupon once or can it be used...

Why are you guys fighting over boxscores? :|

Hey does anyone know how many MB per minute it takes to watch this stream??? I'm on satellite and have limited bandwidth, so if I go over my allotment in a 24 hour period, basically I can't use the Internet for 24 hours... so any idea?

Is there some trick to listen to 1000mikes? Because I have clicked play about 100 times and every time I get "connection failure" :angry:

After hearing the Sheffield boot, I have to say I LOVE the album so much more now. I couldn't get into it before, but now... YES!!!

I was at that final ZooTV show where they played it last and saw 8 Zoo shows... and this was always my favorite song from those shows. I agree that you have to remember that the August 93 version was totally perfected at the end of 4 legs of shows. This new version sounds great now, but I bet...

Talk about overreacting, my God. I'm sure they wanted to do something like what they did with the masks in Burma in that link someone posted earlier in the thread. That seemed ok. The cut out a mask and use a rubberband thing is corny, but geez... the reaction here is ridiculous. If you don't...
