I sat in the top nosebleeds behind the stage in Chicago and found the sound to be just right. Not so loud that my ears rang much afterward but really crisp, good sound. Perfect volume level. No earplugs needed. I could understand all of Bono's words and the sound was the best of any U2 show I've...

This thread should be in the interference hall of fame Sent from my SPH-L710 using U2 Interference mobile app

Hmmm. Isnt this one supposed to be on the deluxe cd?

This. I never understood the hate for HTDAAB.

You just said you agree, and then said something that has nothing to do with the post you are "agreeing" with. The poster said U2 will not drop an album with no fanfare or build up. That has nothing to do with your statement of "their hunger for relevance and publicity overrides their commitment...

Fundamentalists do hold the above concepts/doctrines. But so do many evangelicals who are not fundamentalists. Billy Graham has been known more as a non-fundamentalist evangelical. Think of fundamentalists as the extreme end of evangelicalism. Fundamentalists tend to be judgmental, very stuck...

Jeevey, there are different kinds of evangelical Christians. There are those that you speak of: doing anything humanitarian in the name of making converts. And there are evangelicals who do not have ulterior motives in humanitarian work. Those evangelicals tend to be more on the progressive side...

FOTF is not a quasi-hate group. They are a religiously and politically conservative group. That is not the same thing. Conservatism does not equal hate, any more than liberalism equals communist. They have outspoken opinions about political and religious issues and usually side on the right...

I'm encouraged by Bono's lack of saying stuff about the album. That might mean a real album is about to happen. If he starts saying things, it probably won't happen, or they'll start all over with a new producer.

Yeah, that never totally made sense to me. Like the two dharma guys in the food processing factory from "The New Man in Charge" mini episode were just going to work every day, packaging food for the island, totally unaware that the rest of dharma basically stopped existing decades earlier. Or...

Coldplay and U2 are forming a new mega-band called UPlay2. :applaud::huh:

Wondering what your are trying to say here with this reference. Care to elaborate?

You get points for making a reference to LOST (#10). I wonder if Bono took a fan's plea to watch LOST as inspiration for the new album? :hmm::lol:

I am a Christian, and I appreciate that U2 has music that appeals to a wide audience and not just Christians. That is one of the things I like best about them: they are true to themselves. They are good people, true to their faith and their passions, but they are not exclusionary. They do not...

I consider myself a moderate Christian. The problem with being a moderate is that you can see the ugly on both sides. There is a lot about Focus on the Family that is well-intentioned, but still ugly. That being said, I strongly support having a dialogue with those you don't agree with. Bono...

Fundamentalists usually take a literal interpretation of the Bible, which is contrary to accepted, othodox Christian scholarship. Most current scholars understand the Bible to contain different kinds of literature. The different books of the Bible have to be read in the context of their...

Hey now, I'll fight anyone to fight their fighting. All the fighters should stop their damn fighting and fight already, those fighters! (I don't know what the hell any of that just meant, but it was fun) I heard a rumor that U2 have essentially been working for over a year on one track with...

Dude, having a stance on an issue, and "hating" people are not the same thing. Some groups have different stances on issues but don't "hate" people. (Others do hate people, which is very sad imo). It drives me friggin nuts when people label others who have different stances on controversial...

Some Christians, including some (not all) evangelicals, believe in having open dialogue with various groups, including those you don't agree with or those that are on the other side of the political spectrum. I attend an evangelical seminary where this type of dialogue is promoted. Not all...

Welcome :wave:

Yeah, I think they do some promo performances after first single is released, which is usually before the album is released. In the USA, after Vertigo released, they did some performances on late night shows before the album dropped. I remember them playing 5 songs on Saturday Night Live just 3...

Don't they usually do the promo gigs before album release? Usually like the month before and maybe just after. At least that's what they do for the late night shows.

Agreed. If the album is being mixed now, early June, it will most likely be completely finished and ready for release by the fall. I think we will see the U2 press/hype machine start to kick in soon. I would guess first single is released by September at the latest, with accompanying video and...

Common courtesy is a good thing. I agree that being courteous to each other and avoiding bashing, even if we disagree, is important here. After all, we are all fans of U2.

I'll revise my statement and....nope. Not revising. Wave of Sorrow is a great Song!
