Vertigo Live DVD Cover Revealed

[Rachel D.]

(From atu2.com)

It seems too politically slanted. If I didn't know anything about U2, I'd probably not buy it because I would think it was weird. And I usually ask for U2 DVDs for Christmas, but it's gonna be a little awkward this year explaining to my parents why I want a DVD with Bono blindfolded on the cover. (I'm really not looking forward to that!)

Don't get me wrong; I still want it alot, but it's gonna be kinda embarrassing.

Oh, by the way, this is the first time I've ever posted a picture. Hooray!

Looks a lot like the Elevation cover.

I think the theme for tour imagery since Zoo TV has been Pile As Much Random Noise and Shit Together As Possible, the theme since PopMart has been Show Bono In A Very Weird and Confident Pose, and the theme since Elevation has been Never Align Text With the X-Axis. This design is basically the culmination of thirteen years of exhaustive research.

very observant!

That's super cool!

I like it. Interesting to not the COEXIST logo is used so they must have gotten permission to use the logo in the DVD. There was some talk it might not be in it.

On the other hand maybe they don't have permission and they'll get sued resulting in that cover being discontinued and very rare.

it's groovy

 

[BonosBaby12]

I like it

 

[LostAtMoon]

I love the cover and the meaning of the image of Bono blindfolded on his knees. It's great!

 

[LyricalDrug]

I love it when U2 gets politically "tough" like this.



Very cool cover

 

[EdgeVox]

awesome.....

I'm very impressed with it. Looks very HTDAAB-ish. Gotta love the Vertigo red and black. Well done!

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

I like it but why just Bono on the cover? Can't they have them all there? And it looks a lot like the Elevation DVD style (I think because of the gray).

 

[jacobus]

seems like they are running out of great ideas...musically as well

 

[U2DMfan]

Very reminiscent of the Elevation Boston cover.

It could be worse, I don't have a big problem with it, but I'd like to think they would try and differentiate between the two tours as much as possible. This color scheme is almost the same.

It's ok, I like the no-bullshit political angle, it's what the Vertigo tour is all about. What's the point of making a bleak feelgood-cover anyway. But I'd love to hear the creative idea behind it though, besides the obvious link to the rest of HTDAAB related artwork theme. Seems like they ran out of film or something after the cd cover shooting.

 

[U2girl]

I like this cover.

 

[Chizip]

well since the arena show is pretty much elevation pt 2, then the cover makes sense

 

[POP-ROMANCER]

I like it very much, just like elevation show.
BTW, When will it be released?

 

[Aardvark747]

Looks a lot like the Elevation cover.

Agreed.

 

[shaun vox]

WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT!! (im talking about the cover)

lets just hope that its a fake!!

 

[financeguy]

It's challenging. It's political. I like it.

U2 are challenging us again. Good.

 

[babyman]

What is this ? A western movie cover? Not the very best i was expecting.......................hope for a much better cover on the Milan Dvd
Then, why only Bono on cover, The whole band while PLAYING should be on cover

 

[Popmartijn]

Is the cover really that similar to the Elevation one?

 

[babyman]

Colours are the same, but the theme is clearly different
Elevation is about music
Vertigo politic

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

I think it's cool. I'll buy it. If I have the money for it...

Re: Re: Vertigo Live DVD Cover Revealed

I do think a bit more thought could've gone into it. Bono kneeling is a cool idea, but perhaps a white shadow of him on a black background (UABRS style) would've looked better, with the writing at the top or bottom...

Either way, i'll be buying it the day it comes out!

 

[U2girl]

Only the colours are similar, the show also has plenty of differences for those who want to see them.

And that's the most important thing.

WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT!!

Why do I have the feeling it's the only opinion you could have about, shaun?
