Here's a tip for you. I've been a Propaganda .com so am one of the first to renew each year. Therefore I usually have to wait a full year before I receive my gift. In order to get your CD, threaten to withdraw your sub and demand a refund. Send them an email stating this. They're in...

Es?

a pedestrian start to the set list... As much as I love Breathe, there's no way they should start gigs with that song. It's way too slow a record. It won't get people off their seats. Having NLOTH as the second tune won't help either. They need something lively. Think back to previous...

Is it me or does it not look tall enough? Difficult to get a true perspective from the images I admit, but it doesn't look big enough to offer those in the upper tiers of a stadium an unrestricted view.

yes. Wembley is app tomorrow, yet I've not received my email

I haven't received my email. Should I be worried?

By the way, back in the old days of Propaganda, tickets could be ordered AFTER the ticket sale to the general public, and seats on the ZOO TV tour were like 1st and 2nd row reserved seats - no GA "mosh pit"! Those were the days... You must be joking. My Zoo TV seats from Propaganda for Earls...

Fact is, the record just isn't good enough. Most of us are liking it (myself included) because we're forcing ourselves too because it's U2. But aside from their hard core audience, I can't imagine many enjoy it. No one has said to me they like the new U2 single. Far more people are talking...

I knew someone who wrote to Bono,. As he didn't know his address he wrote on the envelope saying 'Please Mr Postman could you post this to Bono'. Amazingly a few weeks later, he got a signed photo back from the man himself. And that's a true story. I did the same and got no reply!

There was an almost identical thread on this topic earlier on this forum, prompted by someone wondering why commercially, the Best of CD hadn't been hugely success. What we tend to forget is that the album isn't for the likes of your and I - harcore fans - but casual fans, who like U2's music...

no other song creates such jubilation and rejoice amongst crowds as Streets. I've seen loads of other bands and no one has such as spine-chilling intro such as Streets, and no other U2 song makes the crowd go wild like Streets. There are better U2 songs than Streets, but when that intro...

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree, and fans being fans will never agree on the tracklistings for best of compilations as we love so much of their music. it's still a great album, that's not in question. it's just that i, along with many others, feel it could have been a lot...

greatest hits, best of, whatever. the fact remains that the band didn't select their strongest hits/records/tunes/material from 90-2000 and thus it suffered commercially as a result. Casual fans, of which best of/greatest hits compilations are targeted at would not have heard of HTBAmerica...

so what makes the biggest band in the world? record sales + critical aclaim + tour ticket sales + media coverage = biggest band in the world (in my opinion)

If I recall correctly, they signed a six album deal shortly before either Pop or ATYCLB. So we can expect at least 4 more albums, with a tour probably supporting each one. Considering the usual three year album/tour/break cycle, they should be around for another 12 years or so. But hey...

Wow, looks like my first email sparked some debate here! I don't think there's any 'anti-Slane' movement. We all love it, it's a great gig and the band are on top form. But it just lacks a certain magic, something that'll make you keep playing it in ten and twenty years time. The crowd are...

I've finally (!!!) got to watch the Slane DVD (we're still catching up technology-wise here in the UK!) and I have to say, the DVD has left me with a rather empty feeling. My problem with the concert is that it's distinctly average. there's nothing that stands out (yes Bono's daughter dances...

I have the Achtung Baby car tool kit which is quite cool. My father got it from a contact within Island Records and I think it's pretty rare. I've also got some Zoo Ecus from Bon's dressing room, the currency Bono threw around on the Zooropa tour.

would you recommend I returned them to the sender and requested that he records them onto better quality CDs?

I'm relatively new to trading CDRs. Can someone tell me why when I try to play them on my stereo, some work and some do not. In the latter instance, the CD sometimes reads the number of tracks and total time, but can't find anything when I press play. Can someone explain why this is, and...

You make good points but your arguments are too US focused. Remember, all of these tunes charted well in music charts across Europe. They were all singles and each made their mark on the band's career. Irrespective of how they charted in the US, they are all stronger than a collection of...

Greatest Hits compilations are not primarily for hardcore fans but 'floating' fans who may buy the odd album or two, hence the reason why they are usually released before Christmas. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but it's a fact. Bearing that in mind, as good as the 1990-2000...

Hey guys, I'm looking for TV coverage of the band before, during and after their PopMart tour. I'm after basically anything; interviews, concert TV reports etc. I've lots to trade and will consider anything, preferably on VHS. Please email details of what you have to me at...

Hey Redbrook, sounds like you've got some great video stuff. would you be interested in my 12hour ZooTV comp? email me at smileplease1974@hotmail.com
