The Achtung/Zoo-Era Appreciation Thread

[Zoots]

every artist is a cannibal every poet is a thief

 

[namkcuR]

all kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

 

[miss becky]

Oh love...

 

[yimou]

Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky tonight

 

[miss becky]

A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

You sure you still want it? I guess a look wouldn't torment me ... too much.

hey i LOVE that song. and the b-side. i paid big bucks back in 98 for it on ebay, i'm not giving it up! (i probably shouldn't mention all the earlier singles i have too, and even uf - the album - on vinyl.)

Other forums? Dare I venture there?

ooh i think you'd love io.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

it's no secret at all

 

[miss becky]

Love...we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky...tonight

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky

 

[miss becky]

The universe exploding 'cause of one man's lie

 

[yimou]

Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change

 

[miss becky]

There's a lot of things, if I could, I'd rearrange

 

[yimou]

I wish there were more backstage footage from the Zootv tour available. Seeing the band in concert is great, but i would like to see how they prepare to go onstage, and what its like after the concert. Of course we have the Detroit video from the MTV awards, but i am so damn curious to see more video from what goes on behind the scenes.
Of course backstage footage from any tour would be great. They should put something like that on the concert DVD´s.

*hates you in the nicest way*

What really pisses me off is that the UF and Pride vinyl singles were going REALLY CHEAP on the Aussie e-Bay (yeah, the mispressed UF single!) ... but then I forgot to come back to the auction until it was over and someone else got them for less than ten dollars!

ooh i think you'd love io.

I don't trust that winking smiley.

 

[Axver]

Dirty Day live....

I didn't care much for that song until I heard it live. Now I love it.

oh god you just reminded me...at a record shop here i got ummm...i think i also got uf (the single) and maybe i picked up pride as well. :hides:

no seriously i think you'd like io. we eat your brains when you first post, but it's just part of the initiation process. after that it's smooth sailing - so long as you NEVER start a thread about U2!

 

[miss becky]

This thread can't be allowed to die!

So...where were you on July 6, 1993? What were you doing when Zooropa came out?

I remember I was terribly excited. I had just become a fan a year and a half ago, and already I was getting a new album. Zoo TV was still going strong. I could hardly wait. I got to the music store bright and early and was home by 9:30 with Zooropa in my hands. I listened to it all day, falling further in love with the band and all things Zoo with every song.

How about you guys?

I took the trip to Copenhagen to this old record store that offered a free poster with Zooropa A bit geeky.

Edit: I remember all my friends hated Zooropa

 

[Zoots]

I still remember the first time I watched the Numb video like it was yesterday.





And then I had it done to me.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

And then I had it done to me.

had one done to you? had the video recreated?

i remember when zooropa came out. my dad and i split the cost of the cassette (i was 10, give me a break) and we were arguing over who would keep the copy. i won.

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

I can't imagine what it must have felt like to have known U2 wearing the cowboy hats and the whole bluesy lovetown era and then hearing the first sounds off of Zoo Station. I wish I could've lived that moment.

 

[Zoots]

Yeah... my sis and mom tortured me, made me wear stuff, threw stuff at me etc. as I sat on the sofa with a fixed expression and trying my best to remember and mumble the lyrics. It was nuts.
