    Review: U2 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, October 16, 2005*

    Yeah, I'm still a little torn myself. As I wrote, when the show finally started I felt like that spot along the rail was worth anything in the world, but when I balance that with the hours and hours of cold anticipation, I think I'm going to give seats a chance and see if I can pry myself away...

    The Story of U2’s 'Boy'*

    Thanks - I'm glad everyone enjoyed it! In writing these histories of earlier albums its amazing to think about how much has changed (Adam, the spokesman!)... and how much hasn't. The Rooster - are you going to the October show in Philadelphia again? maybe we could get together

    Some questions for Philly 2

    11 am sounds beautiful compared to 8am. I wish we could all get there later -- it's going to be a late night and I have to look my best for Bono :sexywink:

    What band should U2 pass the torch to?

    Coldplay? Seriously? They should call themselves Radiohead Lite. I think when Thom Yorke throws a song out they wait around the dumpster to pick it up. That being said, Yorke has thrown out a decent song or three. I can see the Killers and Snow Patrol being flashes in the pan, but I wouldn't...

    Review: U2 iPod and 'The Complete U2'*

    FYI, Teresa, there are lots of transparent iPod cases out there, like this one. Not an endorsement (I don't even have an iPod!), just info.... Thanks, I hadn't seen that one yet and hey, the $50 you save on the digital box set can go right back to Apple for that cover! Then again, maybe I'll...

    ***Survivor: As an Angel Hits the Ground (Albums Rd 9)

    This really is a bad way to determine the ranking of the albums. Too many people vote to protect a beloved album instead of voting on principle. A poll where people could rank all the albums and then the albums receive points for so many first place votes, second place votes, etc. would be...

    Last Hurrah?

    I don't think its the last tour or album. Bono is too egotistical not to make a big deal out of the last album or final tour. When U2 goes out they will go out with a bang, it will be massive and a highly publicized end. They are the biggest band in the world as Bono keeps saying and the biggest...

    ***Survivor: Tie Breaker (Albums Rd 5)

    I agree as well, with TUF still on the list there's no reason to debate over ATYCLB and Boy

    Who else here thinks When I Look at the World is a really great song?

    I think When I Look At the World suffered from the track order, after Kite, In a Little While and Wild Honey it sort of blends into this part of the album I always considered the weakest not because of any fault of the songs. I love how underneath the peaceful surface of WILATW you can hear a...

    Comparing The Joshua Tree with How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, track by track

    1. Where the Streets Have No Name 2. Miracle Drug 3. With or Without You 4. Bullet the Blue Sky - I think the reason why some say Bullet is flat is not a fault of the song but of the recording quality. If they remastered Buller I think it would be even more incredible. Bullet to me has been one...

    ***Survivor: Gone on the Rising Tide (Albums Rd 5)

    I'm voting for Unforgettable Fire. I can't believe all this anti-War talk. I've always felt it was their first masterpiece. What they lacked in cohesiveness they made up for with sheer energy and bravado, I love Refugee too. I've never been a big Unforgettable Fire fan, too atmospheric its like...

    What if POP + Zooropa = 1 album?

    I've often thought about this. With the Complete U2 I took some of the songs that weren't on Pop or Zooropa but that were recorded around the time and took some songs off Zooropa and the Passengers album and made my own album. I think thats what is great about U2, with all the extra songs they...
