    So what is the weakest U2 song ever, then?

    Even though Elvis Presley is nothing more than album filler, I actually like the song's feel. The two soaring vocal lines at the end are pretty cool. It has some atmospheric qualities as well. UF is just dripping with Eno; I like the entire album. My least favorite songs tend to be the ones...

    Technically speaking

    I feel that Bono hasn't consistently written eloquent, meaningful and poignant lyrics since POP. There are many moments on the new album where I find myself cringing after Bono sings, maybe more than on any other album.

    U2 and Nine Inch Nails

    The Downward Spiral is a benchmark for music, period. To this day there is nothing out there that sounds like it. The unusual time signatures, incredible instrumentation and amalgamation of both organic and synthetic sounds perfectly accompany the bleak and raw theme of the album. Definitely...

    You've heard GET ON YOUR BOOTS? - Post all thoughts, reviews, discussion HERE Part 3

    Pretty underwhelming. Seems more like "good times" album filler than anything substantial. I'm sorry, but U2 has never had a knack for writing light-hearted, pick-me-up rock songs. I like Mullen channeling John Bonham during the half-time breakdown in the middle of the song, but the vocals...

    U2 live vs. Coldplay live

    I find it amusing that some people are so put off by this thread. Like I said, I haven't been on here in a while and was simply stating my personal opinion from my personal experience. If you are offended/in disagreement, I suggest abandoning your fangirl interest in such a mediocre band. If...

    U2 live vs. Coldplay live

    Probably beating a dead horse, but I haven't been on this site in a while. I saw coldplay for the first time last week, and have to conclude that u2 blows them out of the water live. It was a good show but nowhere near as good as any of the five u2 shows I have seen. I had heard how great...

    U2 songs to play when you hit rock bottom and feel like complete shit.

    And I'd join the movement If there was one I could believe in Yeah, I'd break bread and wine If there was a church I could receive in 'cause I need it now... To take the cup To fill it up To drink it slow Can't let you go U2 basically took everything I've ever felt and put it in one song, yep...

    Who Here Actually Likes having an opening Band

    saw Tom Petty and the Black Crowes at Red Rocks the other week. The Crowes were definitely the only opening band I've ever really truly enjoyed.

    Sideview Seating for Vertigo Tour

    Upper level side views for both Denver shows. They are actually a great location, you are kind of on top of the band. Far better than all the way across the arena with a straight on view. I would even rather have sideview uppers than opposite lowers, personally.

    ticket printouts

    lol thanks, it's not a cost issue, rather a convenience issue. I'm having problems finding friends with both a printer AND the internet. I've found my solution: flashdrive!

    ticket printouts

    Question here.... has anyone ever printed out 2 ticketfast tickets on one piece of paper, one ticket on each side? All they do to the tickets is scan them so this should work, but I may go back and reprint them on two pieces, for paranoia's sake..... Curse those evil public library print...

    hey ouizy - how was that NIN show? I'm going to see them in October, but can't decide if I want to see them in Denver or C. Springs (smaller venue). I imagine it will be LOUD!

    Song highlight of vertigo tour

    Do you appreciate the record more, since the tour?

    HTDAAB is supposedly one of the poorest albums made recently, as far as recording and mixing go. The songwriting on it is brilliant though, with the exception of Vertigo (although a great live song), Miracle Drug and One Step Closer

    Best ticket deal you got on Ebay?

    So is it "supporting a scalper" if the transaction results in him/her losing more than 50% of the face value of the ticket? Seems to me that might discourage future scalping....

    Boston 3 (5/28/05)

    Achtung is such a stellar album, from zoo to blindness, that its worst songs (horses and Tryin') would be by far the best songs on almost any other album by any other band.
