I also had never realised Te Puke is a funny name until I saw it on our masterlist of potential locations.
You know my opinion of what's wrong with the two most recent albums. Brian Eno. Daniel Lanois. Listening to Bono too much. And i don't think Adam cares anymore, based on his cinematography. Or he's really just a sadistic bastard.
*phew* maybe he didn't notice the three versions of Anarchy in the UK...
From the last thread:
I blame Lanois more than Eno. He seems far more inclined to over-production and make everything all shiny and radio-friendly. And Bono needs to put more effort into his lyrics too rather than running around bugging politicians and appearing on Oprah.
at the Adam point.
Well, he's obviously a bit masochistic if he dated Naomi Campbell.From the last thread:

Sex Pistols don't get a lot of respect around here. I figured you were one of those that don't like them. My mistake.What's wrong with that?

regardless of whose fault it is, honestly, it's time to cut the umbilical cord, be big boys and maybe start producing their own music.

OK, Reggo and Serena, earlier I posted pretty much the last draft of the purity test. If either of you have any thoughts, that'd be cool. One question is yet to make the cut, "worn fetish clothing". So if you think any of the below should go in favour of it, please say. Two suggestions for removal are #58 and #70.

I want to keep #70. As I've actually done it.
#68 can go. Or perhaps you can merge the fondling question and add it!
I lose those too. But maybe we can merge them?Haha, yeah, I knew you'd want to keep #70. The fondling one has already been subject to a cut - there was one asking about fondling buttocks, but we thought that was rather pointless and excessive. I want to keep both, partly because I lose two points there, while the fetish clothing one isn't about to be lost!
No, seriously, I do think if it came down to choosing between merging the fondling ones and including the fetish clothing, or leaving it as it is, I'd vote to leave it as it is. Happy to discard #58, though.
The psychology of Adam Clayton fascinates me.And then got so cut up when they broke up that he drunk himself into a stupor and missed a gig! Insane man.
Yeah, I agree with that. I'm cool if they keep Eno around, since he complements them so well, but Lanois has bugged me lately. I wonder if HTDAAB would have come out earlier if Lanois hadn't swung by for a few days after the Chris Thomas sessions and said what he thought of the band's work ...
Same.OK, so it's:
used four or more recreational drugs in one night?
vs
worn fetish clothing?
I vote for the latter.
me too. Fetish clothing includes drag, right? so that's easily more likely than the other.OK, so it's:

What has me worried is how prevalent Lanois has been outside HQ with the fans. Meaning, he's been in the studio with the band a lot. ANd I've seen articles online of him blabbing song titles and such.

This is not a good sign. First band interview that gets on TV or whatever about the new album, I say we watch Edge and Larry's body language. That'll probably be the most telling. cause Bono's just gonna babble and hype it up himself and Adam never says anything. Ever. But i'm sort of convinced that he doesn't care anymore, so he's just gonna be watching everyone else's reactions to it. So maybe watch him get amused by how everyone is eating up the hype when he knows it's craptacular.Yes, that worries me too. He's clearly been very central to this album, and what especially annoys me about his blabbing to the media is that HE'S HYPING THE ALBUM EXTRAORDINARILY. Now, of course he's not going to say it sucks if somebody asks for his thoughts, but all his high praise about it being the best album basically means it's NOT. Did you see them talking like that before JT? Hell, find me one band where they've talked up an album and it's turned out to be their defining work. I bet such a band doesn't exist. You only talk up an album if you feel you need to build up people to be positively predisposed to it.
Good point. Either way, more likely than the 4 drugs in one night thing.Well, we do also have:
51. engaged in transvestitism for sexual enjoyment?
I think the fetish clothing thing is more referring to corsets, collars, fishnet stuff and whatnot. But what the hell do I know.
