DO you guys think that U2 has the balls to ever realease a double CD?
hcbiggs2002 said:What do you mean? A cd with two discs? Coz they've already done it 3 times with the two greatest hits cds plus b-sides and with HTDAAB with the cd+dvd+book. Or don't those count in your book?!?

U2 appear to think that any track listing above 12 songs is Very Bad™, so I doubt we'll ever see anything like that from them.

What does having balls have to do with it?
Most double albums suck and have so much filler they're hard to listen to. Most double albums are do to ego and stupidity rather than balls...

Well, Pink Floyd's The Wall is outselling all of U2's albums on amazon.com.
I think to have a successful double album (like The Wall), the album has to have a plot to it (e.g. a rock opera).
It is a risky move however, and not U2's style.

They could be doing greatest hits tours with no political messages and be selling out stadiums if they really wanted to...it's a scary thought but true.

Hell I think doing a tour with no political messages would be a risk for them. Every tour has had some sort of political message, and it's part of what's made U2's live show so successful. It would be weird so see a U2 show without politics (would mean no Bullet ). But I'd love it if they would drop the political stuff for a tour and just focused solely on the music.

BonoVoxSupastar said:That has a lot to do with pot and the Wizard of Oz.

They did fine without politics on their first two tours and UF tour. (Lovetown could pass too, if it wasn't for the "end of the 80's" climate)

Was there any politics on Zoo TV (apart from Sarajevo link ups) and Popmart?

I can't think of anything political from the Boy Tour, but I can think of some politics creeping into the October Tour, like Bono making statements before Rejoice and The Electric Co.
Lovetown's chances of passing were shot to hell by Bono's speech in Knockin' On Heaven's Door on 1989-11-18.
I'd say Bullet The Blue Sky was default politics, especially on ZooTV (1993-08-11 being a good example). And Popmart had political statements related to Please, and I think SBS was a statement in and of itself that tour.
U2girl said:
I only recently got bootlegs of October tour but haven't noticed anything political. What did he say?
Also, what did he say on that song on Lovetown? (I usually skip covers)
I wonder if SBS would have made on Popmart if it weren't for Bono's voice problems in Sarajevo? Is there any info whether they planned on it anyway? [/B]
