fine, leave as soon as I arrive.... just so you know I will NOT take this personally... Grmbl.Wow four hours! NICE!
I'm afraid I misse dthat one!
am I being ignorant tat I deliberately do not want to listen to the new songs?
We then got through Kilbrittain, Ireland in 3 hours, 36 minutes! Haven't beaten that yet.
Nah, I'm just a junkie for spoilers. I'll check out any sample of new material, even if it sounds like it was recorded from the other end of a flooded wind tunnel.

Hey sad punk how've you been?
how've you been?

Nah, of course not. A few others here are avoiding spoilers, and I sort of wasn't so much into caring about it. But I've just heard them, they're not bad. There are certainly parts that remind me why I don't like U2's output this decade very much at all, but I think there's potential there. My only problem is really Bono's voice, even if it's supposedly technically superior than it used to be according to certain members, it just doesn't sound good to me.
So, there you go!
I'll agree with this. Eighties Bono, whatever technical imperfections he may have had, sung in a manner that I find aesthetically pleasing. A lot of times this decade, he just sounds strained or ... "thin", I guess, even if there's nothing technically wrong with what he's doing.
That said, on Vertigo, he was nailing songs like The Fly, so he still can sing in a manner I find very listenable and enjoyable when he wants to.

now THAT is a nice name for an Irish city
nah, I don't know why I don't want to... guess I just wanna keep the surprise up a bit longer..
haven't bought any of the remasters from this summer either, nor do I have listened to the new songs... I guess the urge for anything U2-ish will return with the new album or so..Paul McGuinness must be fuming somewhere.
At least he won't be coming after me. I've ordered my copy! Two actually. But one's U-Wen's.

Haha, I know!
I nearly didn't buy the remasters; procrastinated for ages on ordering them. But Amazon had them at a good price and it's one of the U2 eras I loved, so I've sucked it up and ordered them. They won't be here until September, bah! If all the albums end up being remastered, I know I won't be buying the lot of them ...

I can definitely see myself buying them when they go down in price a lot (inevitable), but for now, fuck you, McGuinness.
On the other hand...
I'm getting these as soon as it's out.
Full tracklist now, I believe?

THAT looks FINE!I'll get the dvd fo sho!
and I agree, maybe when they go down in price, but for now I don't give a rat's arse... now if it were AB remaster, or POP, oh I'd bite!

I got all three from Amazon, and including postage, the cost for all three comes to about AUS$80 for me. Half the price of what I'd pay if I bought them here!
And FUCK YES to UABRS. Nearly the full tracklist. I Fall Down is still missing.

Ah, of course. Still, not too bad for a U2 release, eh?
Honestly, since I don't like I Fall Down and would skip it most times after the first listen, it works for me to not have it!
I'll be ordering this as soon as possible, really. Or as soon as a bloody good deal appears anyway.
A bit disappointed the CD is just the original audio with nothing new added, though.

Heh, I have nothing against it, but it's no huge loss. Still, oh man. Released around the time of the Grand Final, too - so if I get sick of watching Geelong pound the Hawks, I can just pop the DVD in and watch some good times.

Wait up, doesn't Bono take off his shirt during THBAO?
[retracts preorder]
[retracts preorder]
Ha. What I think is sad is that I'm more hyped about this than about the new album.
I haven't watched the bootlegged video of that part of the set for ages. But, well, it's War era Bono. He liked going shirtless then. Shirtless and mulleted.
So glad I'm legally blind sometimes.

YesNo, it's on The Joshua Tree.
the joshua tree??? wasn't that their first single or something?
Yeah, and it was followed by that split with Coldplay, All The Rushes Of Blood You Can't Leave Behind.

ah I see!I really should do my best to keep up more... all this modern shite..

Haha, me too. Well, I guess it's because even though I thought the stuff I just listened to was okay, I know for a fact that if, say, this was their third album, I'd probably be on a Henry Rollins forum right now dissing them all the time. You read correctly, I don't actually do that.

YouTube - U2 - Two Hearts Beat As One (Live @ Red Rocks)
IIRC, it's not a very good version, either.

Just quickly guys are the new beach clips worth downloading?
The Sad Punk
Blue Crack Addict
Are you into spoilers? They're not incredibly clear, plus they have the odd waves and talking over, but you can certainly distinguish them. So if you've got the need, go for it.
I second what Bonnie said. As far as beach clips go, this is probably the second best batch we've had, the best being those from 2006 that gave us All My Life, I Believe, etc.
