ONE love, blood, life
I was outside the catwalk on the rail both nites and most people around me didn't know of them and I of course filled them in and said they were in for a awesome performance. A friend of my friend julie, a long time u2 fan since the early 80s said: "That has to be the best supporting band ever that has opened for U2" he was very impressed. Others after their performance were all about getting their music(especially impressed by matt's guitar skills and dom's mad drummer skills) and were going to check them out on itunes.. I knew this would happen. Them opening for U2 is going to send them into orbit here in the US I just know it!
I don't know, having been up in the stands, those that were there that weren't initiated didn't seem to enjoy it all that much, I think they kind of assualt the audience more than win over new fans, it'll get a few more people to know them, but it isn't going to launch them to the kind of fame they have in the UK, unfortunately if anything like that that were to happen it would be due to their continued courtship with the Twilight movies.
Another note about their performance Thursday, United States of Eurasia sounds way better live, I couldn't stand that track before but again it took on much more life.
