    Questions regarding U2: The Definitive Biography

    This book just came out...got it on my kindle. It really painted a bleak landscape on the inner workings of U2 from about 2000 on. It was kind of depressing, really. Certain things are IMPLIED - I'm not sure they are said outright, but the general picture is this: 1. U2 is a business now and...

    This is an INTERVENTION for Bono

    Post your intervention message to Bono here...since you know...he's such an avid interference reader. Bono: stop making noises over Edge's solos. It started as a live phenomenon...usually singing "da daaa da daaa" over the solo during a show or something equally irritating. Now you won't even...

    Bono's little hissyfit during One

    Anybosy else scratching their heads over this? They've played One a million times. Bono could have faked it...he could have scatted for a few bars and joined back in like he always does when he screws up. Why call out Edge and Adam like that? Edge and Adam very rarely screw up but Bono is...

    Pre-listening freak-out thread

    Okay...I've been waiting for a link for a half hour...reading everyone's posts, writhing in agony....anyone with me? Here's a thread to get out the jitters, to express frustration at not having it yet - basic primal scream therapy... Man, I can't wait to hear this.

    submarine/gasoline rhyme

    Alright, I'm sorry. Bono's writing skills have been diminishing for about 3 albums now...and this is getting ridiculous. The worst line ever written in a song was: "the air is heavy...heavy as a truck" from Electrical Storm. It's getting on my nerves. The music is still quality, but the...

    original tracklist for ATYCLB?

    I just want to burn a copy of ATYCLB according to the orginal tracklist order that was released before they changed it. Anyone remember? This is what I think it was, but anyone who has a less fuzzy memory about it, let me know... BD Elevation Walk on Stuck Kite Peace on earth New York In a...

    redemption of The Fly

    I am starting to understand HTDAAB as The Repentance and Redemption of The Fly. The last album was admittedly merely a collection of songs. This is a U2 ALBUM and it seems to pick up where the last trilogy left off. Vertigo is The Fly coming to grips with his depravity. I always sensed a...

    revising ATYCLB

    I can't believe they had songs like Levitate and Flowerchild and scrapped them in favor of Peace On Earth, Grace and When I Look At The World. Move a few songs around and you have a GREAT album, not the bloated mediocre offering ATYCLB turned out to be. Beautiful Day Elevation Walk On Stuck In...

    $150 for 25 songs?

    That's obscene. If U2 wasn't so $$$ hungry, what would they lose by charging 20 or 30 for the unreleased tracks? Hell, if they want to release them, what's wrong with a hard copy too? I would have gladly bought that. But the way they are doing it makes me wonder. I won't throw HTDAAB away...

    vertigo = she's gonna blow your house down?

    The more I listen to this track, the more I wonder if this song evolved from "she's gonna blow your house down".... There's the same basic rhythm on the verses and chorus and you can sing the "sgbyhd" chorus along with the vertigo chorus.

    Edwards - the paralyzed will walk

    Alright, no one's bringing this gem up from 2 days ago. Edwards was shamelessly politicizing the death of Reeves and the following sentence actually came out of his mouth (re: stem cell research): "When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeves will get out of their wheel chairs...
