ONE love, blood, life
They'd be rehearsing indoors still. They don't want to give too much away - they'll run through with a few days to go, but mostly indoors because it's harder to keep a lid on things in a stadium
Looks like they have speakers hanging from the ceiling, so those towers must be for video.
Yup you're rightIt's definitely not fully built yet. At least as of this morning. Those speakers hanging from the ceiling are the venue PA system.
Ordinary Love is one of their 10 most played songs on YouTube, the video and tonight show performance have 60+ million views between them.
For comparisons sake... Vertigo has 41 million views. Beautiful Day has 90 million.
More people liked it then people here care to admit, and more people know it then everyone is letting on. It's their most popular song in 10 years.
It's hardly a shock, as lame as the crowd sourced chorus idea may be.
People here don't like it. Okay fine. But this isn't some unknown song.
Its not accurate to compare old songs on youtube to new songs. For example, if you look at the top 500 most played videos/songs on youtube, you are only going to see about 20 songs with enough views to make that list from before the year 2000. If youtube or U2vevo had been around when Vertigo and Beautiful Day were released in 2000 and 2004, those songs/videos would have hundreds of millions of views. So, youtube views are heavily weighted towards new or less old songs. Ordinary Love was released at the end of 2013 and was a luke warm hit in some countries and even made the top 10 in the Netherlands. Its 40 million figure is good and much better than the songs from the last album in youtube views, but that's about it. A new song today should thats a hit around the world will generally have more than 100 million views on youtube I think.
Ordinary Love and EBW are the two most well known tracks of the 00's.
Why is it hard to admit that people actually liked the song? For fucks sake.

I just made a statement.
https://youtu.be/e8cqj4rr6iQI can't figure out how many if any of your posts are for real?!
Typo! I actually meant 10 to 20's. But really if you are getting that mad about it then maybe you have issues.
That's great, Sting. Except none of the other new U2 songs are even remotely close to the numbers Ordinary Love put up. But I'm sure you'll find some bullshit to excuse that away.

For the 3 decent Coldplay albums, the rest have been dire.For every decent Coldplay song, there are six or seven that are absolute shit.

I'd settle for Gone.
