    U2 stole from who?? (influence question)

    Talking to a guy tonight who claimed that U2's riffs and music, in general, were stolen from "some guy." I can't remember the name the guy gave and he could only remember a first name. I think it's total bull. However, does anyone know of theories like this? Who has U2 been accused of...

    An intellectual music discussion #1

    I know there's supposed to be 3 albums, but for Interpol, their first 2 albums are a great indication that they will be classic in the near future. The first album, alone, is one of the very best debuts I've ever heard. Antics wasn't too shabby of a follow-up, either. Unless they go totally...

    New Switchfoot song - STARS

    "On Fire" is an amazing song..... if you don't like Switchfoot in general, listen to this song on its own and see if it's not beautiful.

    Rank Coldplay's album

    1) Parachutes - think it's great and overall the purest & strongest. before they even were conscious that they might be big, they were good. 2) AROBTTH and X&Y - tied for me. My favorite song is "Warning Sign" from the 2nd album (love it, love it, love it) and "Talk" is my favorite from the...

    Best non-U2 gig you've been to this year?

    1. Doves (Atlanta) - finally saw them live; awesome. 2. Joseph Arthur (Atlanta) - captivating 3. Mute Math (Jacksonville) - sound mix was bad in the little joint, but they are brutally great live.

    Your fave "I found this band"

    Watch out for the band, MUTE MATH. Only an EP so far, but it's a great one, and you GOTTA see them live. Totally amazing in the live setting.....especially the drummer! MUTE MATH. MUTE MATH. MUTE MATH.

    U2: longest running act w/o any alterations?

    Crazy!! Who's bought a ZZTop album in the last 20 years? Anyone here? Have they released any singles, videos, etc. to radio/TV? I haven't seen or heard from/about them until this forum today, since probably around the late 80's.

    U2: longest running act w/o any alterations?

    On another note, though, out of all these bands mentioned, U2 blows all of them away, in terms of how they can sell out massive arenas worldwide, sometimes for multiple shows in a row. No other band, be it Rush, ZZTop, or whoever does that. Rolling Stones still bring in big crowds, but they're...

    U2: longest running act w/o any alterations?

    However, due to them having a different member for the first album (and it NOT being the acrobatic Neil Peart), they are eliminated from this competition :)

    U2: longest running act w/o any alterations?

    So, ZZ Top are the longest intact performing rock band alive?? Amazing. Not so sure how many people (young) nowadays even know who they are. However, technically, they would qualify as the "winner" of this exercise. True, REM was in the running until Mr. Berry left.

    U2: longest running act w/o any alterations?

    Hmmm... KISS, ZZTop.... are these guys still "active" in the sense that they are making records, touring, etc.? That's what I mean: U2 are still "going." No breakups, interruptions.......no reunion tours or that bullcrap.

    U2: longest running act w/o any alterations?

    I was reading over on U2's listing on Wikipedia, and as I've been wondering for awhile: aren't U2 unique in that they have been a band for nearly 30 years and have NEVER ADDED OR LOST A MEMBER? No other band has done that, to my knowledge. Rolling Stones ("Strolling Bones" no doubt), although...

    MERGED-->Will 2nd ATL show be announced???!!! + Atlanta, 2nd Show

    I got 2 tix for the 11/19 show and they said they're behind the stage, but as others have noted on this thread, the seating charts seem to be messed up. It looks like I'm actually in the back right corner of the arena, in the upper level (instead of the lower level, as noted on TM site). My...

    amazing! U2 plays special show for Starbucks Leadership??

    Yeah I still can't figure out why Bono was in the corporate office of S'bux, saying, "Revolution is in the air." What would that mean in that context?? Playing a free show for coffee farmers?

    http://www.anciennenoblesse.net/musical/Yavie%20BD/Real%20Life%20-%20Send%20Me%20An%20Angel This is an mp3 of the song, and it's a remix I'm pretty sure....anyway, after you get past the beginning, you hear the different verses....the part where he's saying, "don't tell me lies, don't be...

    "The Ocean" sounds like "Send Me An Angel"????

    khanada - does the "no" in your reply mean they don't sound similar?? there's a part where Bono's pacing and inflection in the lyrics sound very similar to a part in the "angel" song. I'm not sure if the group is Real Life?? I just remember the song.......

    "The Ocean" sounds like "Send Me An Angel"????

    After getting The Complete U2 and re-listening to some older tracks I hadn't heard in a good, long while, I came across "The Ocean," from BOY. Does anyone remember that song, "Send Me An Angel?" It was on the soundtrack to that cheese-fest (but awesome!) soundtrack to the freestyle biker...

    amazing! U2 plays special show for Starbucks Leadership??

    OK, so the word I got is that the show was a "vicious rumor." A woman who works for Starbucks (who I'll be doing some training with soon) returned my call yesterday. I had mentioned on my voicemail about them getting to see U2 (according to what I had heard) and she replied with the...
