Guess you won't be keeping Kelly company when she does her tour of the filming locations... :hmm:

Which reminds me... Kelly, if you see Josh, tell him I said hi :drool:

Different strokes ya know. That's why I always try to preface with "to me" or "in my opinion". allows for differences of opinion without invalidating someone else's point of view. probably picked that up either in marriage counseling or Dr. Phil. to avoid :madwife:
 
*wonders if she missed something*

Are you still talking about your Coldplay opinion or Rosa missing out on Lost?

:lol:
 
The thing is I don't know if I'd like the program or not, I literally have never watched an episode. :huh: I feel like I'm missing out.

Haven;t a clue but responded just in case. :lol:
 
Well, you have some long trips ahead of you, though watching the first season of Lost while in a plane = NOT A GOOD IDEA... specially if traveling over large bodies of water

:lmao:
 
Not if you're gonna watch it during trips, no.

First season = all about the plane crash in transit from Oz to LA

:yikes:
 
*wonders how many Fast Cars videos Rosa has on her ipod*

:hmm:


And for those of you looking for Hawaii information = there is none :angry:

Not a mention at all thus far this morning. Think they've only played the commercial for tix remaining only once or twice.

Well they can't tell us anything if they don't know anything :shrug:

And new Adam interview thingy at U2.com

That Was 2005 That Was...

2005 was a year in which…..
* U2 played 110 shows.
* Travelled for nine months on two continents.
* Performed to 3.4m people.
* Won Three Grammy Awards (for Vertigo).
* Were nominated for five more for the 2006 awards.
* Were inducted into the 'Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame'
* Played with 23 support acts (that's our calculation anyway)
* Launched Music Rising (Edge) to help replace instruments lost by musicians in New Orleans.
* Were joined on stage by everyone from Daniel Lanois to Patti Smith, from Bruce Springsteen to Brandon Flowers of The Killers.
* Shot two live shows, one in the US and one in Europe. Released the first one as the DVD, ‘Vertigo 2005//U2 Live from Chicago’.
* Met Presidents and Prime Ministers (Bono) in the campaign against global poverty.
* Released four singles: City of Blinding Lights, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, All Because of You and Original of the Species.
* Announced more dates on three continents for 2006 – and sold out the first twelve stadium shows in New Zealand, Australia, Mexico and Argentina in record breaking time.

So, Adam Clayton, the man who played bass guitar in front of more people than any other bass player in 2005 ….

How is the show different than when it opened in San Diego?
It’s very different now… I mean it’s moved incrementally. It doesn’t feel completely different, the main elements are still the same, but as the tour has gone on, everything has been refined.

The initial concept of this tour was to connect How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, right back to our first record Boy. So we dusted off some of those tunes… and set about playing them with songs from our latest record.
Then we went to Europe, and Vertigo became the first song and we opened the show up a bit more… the feel of it changed. And then finally we came back to North America and the end section that had always been a taste of Zoo TV came back. We added back in Until the End of the World and Mysterious Ways … and the circle was complete.

What has been the highlight of your tour?
I think the run of shows in New York at Madison Square Garden were some of the best shows we’ve ever performed. And with Patti Smith for two of those… that was just amazing to be performing with her. She has meant so much to us - I mean there would be no U2 without Patti Smith’s ‘Horses’. I’m sure there were others but that has been a highlight.

Has there been a best show?
The one that I remember the most, as being the most, kind of, metaphysical, was I think the Paris show. That’s the one that sticks in my brain – the first Paris show.

Support bands: was there a highlight?
Well obviously Patti Smith. I think Arcade Fire were one of the highlights - they’re a band that really reminded me of where we’d come from. But I think every opening act that we’ve had has brought something to the table, from the Kings of Leon through to Damian Marley.

Bands you enjoyed in 2005…
Hard Fi who I know nothing about; Clap Your Hands Say Yeah a great band out of New York; Arctic Monkeys….

Been browsing any magazines?

Nice. :drool:

I haven't seen my video since Octagon released the b/w clip... It still freaks me out. :reject: Oddly enough, the WOWY one I can watch til the cows come home...
 
Hi Miroslava... yes I'm a lurker...thanks for outing me. Just curious like everyone else, to see if a second show will be added.
Going to Hawaii with hubby (fyi, this is JohnGs wife), who rather spend time on beach than at 2shows (gasp)!
 
Yay! I delurked you! :D Welcome :wave: You husband has issues :shame:

And they just played the damn tix remaining commercial :scream:
 
Why do they have to say "tickets to unload"? It makes it sound like it's a fucking burden and pisses me off to no end.
 
New clip at u2.com about fans getting into the ellipse. Shot in May in Boston. Other than Tattoo Dan, no familiar faces thus far.

And I hate that "unload" line too :angry:


ETA: Green Day A-G-A-I-N. You would think that they would play some more U2 here and there to help "unload" the freaking tickets. :kill:

So does that fact that that clip brought a tear to my eye make me a total asshole. :(

I think total asshole might be a bit harsh... I think I'd go with total nerd though... :hmm:

*says the chick that was bawling at the @U2 party in Portland during the COVER band while she thought about the "last show" that was to happen the next night*

:reject:
