Of course you don't think it's buried. Otherwise, it wouldn't be that way. :shrug: My thought would be to swap the tech forum (which gets limited traffic) with the music forum (which, on topic, should receive more traffic).

A US and European tour doesn't seem to include Canada. And, if The Police consider Toronto to be Canada, they should take a close look at the city where they are practicing right now. Also, The Police could perform outdoors. 80,000 fans at one show would not be out of reach for them, methinks.

right, I missed that forum. :p and this is my opinion: It seems like the forum/subforum has too tiny a description and it's buried too far inside the board structure. As if to imply: This forum is not important. Do not bother with this forum.

Having read the already closed topic about the AF subforum, and realizing that one of the reasons might be just because it's not about u2, and then also noting there are existing forums not related to u2 at all, I'm ready to suggest the board see a new forum for broader music interests/bands. A...

Sadly, Bono wouldn't make it past the fourth show. No doubt, there would be a couple Christina Aguilera sound-alikes (minus the four octave range and infinite register) ready to move on...even the boys. Simon would say "your pitch is off and you have the lung capacity of a chain smoker"...

Maybe U2 didn't really like how the POP tracks were mixed (?). In my opinion, POP isn't a groundbreaking, popular-music-altering, experience like Joshua Tree was in it's time time, but the song on POP were well written, and close listening proves the value of the songs in the overall catalog...

Sheesh, I come here to intentionally avoid games discussion and walk into this topic. :p Selling your WoW account, as far as I know, is in violation of the TOS you agree to when you rent it from Blizzard. As for WoW itself, I have friends who have been active player/testers since the Alpha...

...but he didn't forget to mention it in an interview published in a major publication. Then again, if it doesn't bother U2 that he talked about it in the interview, then the mention shouldn't matter to anyone.

This doesn't make any sense because: Billy and Jimmy have already teamed up to reform the Smashing Pumpkins (haven't read word from D'Arcy or James yet and they probably won't come back). According to the official site, the Pumpkins are already in the studio recording and they recently...

The answer really depends on what you want to pay. If you buy an unlocked tri-band or quad-band cellphone, you should be able to use it anywhere in the world. However, it might still be wiser to use the same cell phone carrier (Cingular, t-mobile). Be aware of the contract you sign. If you...

opinion: The odds are that every member has visited here. However, like most people, u2 have interests beyond just music and they are more likely visit communities related to those "other" interests more than here. It's equally likely that they don't post much when visiting.

nah, Rattle and Hum will always be the new Pop. :p case in point: it got skipped earlier in this thread when discussing a tri-album tour. :wink: I think one of the problems u2 would have with this idea is that they can't be on tour for 3 or 4 years- about how long it would take the band to...

(so......longwinded) Bono's voice isn't as clear as it was during the early eighties. Smoking and drink added a more breathy rugged sound to his pipes, and the sound was put to good use for the Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum releases. In other words, his voice matured. Or, it was whiskey...

What you need is a "line in" to the boombox, but I don't see this feature mentioned anywhere in the manual. However, the speakers themselves are rated at a 6 Ohm load. You could purchase a small second hand stereo receiver to power these speakers and just be careful not to turn the volume...

Now that's some funny stuff! :eeklaugh: Poor Alan Parsons.....*sighs*...but it's so true. So, which producer should be roasted next? Danger Mouse seems like a good target, but he's not been mentioned as a prospective producer....yet. :hmm:

Well, as a coincidence, I also happen to work in a Photo lab. Our lab charges $0.29 Canadian per 4x6 print and the price includes color, density, and tone correction. Because I usually work the night shift, I am responsible for the daily cleaning and maintenance of our equipment. Conversely...

Another good manufacturer of speakers is API. www.audioprods.com The Energy line is traditionally the mid priced/featured line from this Canadian company. Because you live in an apartment, I would avoid buying a Subwoofer. Low frequencies travel much farther than mid and high frequencies...

I think any substance that offers a high level of dependency and/or a likelihood of permanent physical damage is considered a hard drug. Most of the above mentioned drugs are hard drugs.

Well, yeah, John Lennon could get that from a picture his kid drew. The lyrics for Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite are from a poster for an old carny. So, why not? The music of the Beatles do not hide the influences of numerous music styles and genres- many of which were already introduced...

You believe a junkie when they say that the substance to which they are addicted is really something that helps them be more creative? Would you say that knowing that all addicts find ways to rationalize their drug use regardless? I'm neither blind to history nor ignorant of facts. For...

Of all the people listed, the drugs didn't make them creative (or even more creative), didn't make their output any better, and certainly did nothing to help them on personal levels. Some creative people who tune into drugs do so in the mistaken belief that they make life better, and they then...

The S3IS has a current market value of between $450.00 and $500.00 Canadian dollars- not too much coin. For my lot, I'm watching the Nikon D50 price fall every couple weeks. I'll buy that that, or a Pentax k100, or an Olympus E500. ;)

If you check the menu, there is a setting for continuous shooting. What the camera does when the camera is set this way is write multiple files to the buffer and then to the card. The biggest lag you'll probably find with the camera comes from use of the flash.

You're right on the money with that description, ntalwar :) Also, if you're interested in the audio/video portion, the Canon s3IS allows you to use the Zoom while shooting video, it has an image stabilizer, 6 Mega pixels, and a 12x Optical zoom lens, but it only has a 2" flip screen. The...

I think it really depends on what the warranty offers. For most extended warranties, the coverage is the same as the manufacturers warranty, which is to say that not much is really covered. For other consumer electronics, an over-the-counter replacement warranty is a good idea- moreso if the...
