Vogan, Togo Superthread

[bono_212]

"Now I hope everyone's alright down there. Nobody gets hurt at a U2 concert. Only we get hurt if anyone gets hurt."

Bono

 

[bono_212]

Love, love will tear us apart again
Love love love love love
I was strolling down past Paris way
I walked through the streets in the light of the day
I knew that summer had arrived
When I saw your eyes
When I see you, when I hope that it was
Good for good for me as it was good for you
As it was good for me
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again


Fuck. Yes.


Ax, think it'd be pushing my luck to put Shine Like Stars/Love Will Tear Us Apart on my sign

 

[LemonMelon]

For your sake I hope they squeeze in HMTMKMKM in WOWY's spot. I know it won't happen, but nothing is worse than an angry Axver.

Love Is Blindness needs to replace WOWY.

...right after Ashley gets to hear Shine Like Stars on the 12th.

 

[Axver]

God, I feel like I've asked this a hundred times before, and I just keep losing it...does anyone have the Triple Peaks mix of Can't Help Falling in Love?

I ... might have it?

Ax, think it'd be pushing my luck to put Shine Like Stars/Love Will Tear Us Apart on my sign

That Paris performance kills.

 

[Axver]

Love Is Blindness needs to replace WOWY.

Toss out the current encore and replace it with Fez, Bad, LIB. Now we're talking.

 

[LemonMelon]

Toss out the current encore and replace it with Fez, Bad, LIB. Now we're talking.

LIB and MOS are like the only two songs U2 has ever used organ in. You know that would be an amazing segue.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Love Is Blindness needs to replace WOWY.

...right after Ashley gets to hear Shine Like Stars on the 12th.

Well, anything that is not named "With or Without You".

 

[bono_212]

As soon as Ashley hears Shine Like Stars on the 12th

 

[bono_212]

If you have it Ax, can you send it to me?

 

[Axver]

Give me a few minutes, Ashley.

LIB and MOS are like the only two songs U2 has ever used organ in. You know that would be an amazing segue.

I don't know if the two songs really belong together, though. Plus you can see half the stadium falling asleep.

I want MOS moved to the main set, do a MOS --> Amazing Grace --> Streets segue.

 

[bono_212]

Is Amazing Grace any good? That's like my most "not looking forward to it" moment.

 

[LemonMelon]

Plus you can see half the stadium falling asleep.

Their loss. Falling asleep > my wholly violent reactions to Elevation

Oh, and MOS--->Streets would be very nice, although I think MOS--->UC--->Streets would be even better.

 

[bono_212]

UC . I can't be too bitter since I'm (hopefully) getting TUF...but damn. Fucking U2

 

[Axver]

Oh, and MOS--->Streets would be very nice, although I think MOS--->UC--->Streets would be even better.

Oh, I'm totally with you on this. That would be excellent.

 

[bono_212]

My elbow hurts...I think it's gon' rain.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

This visit to Vogan has taken longer than expected, compared to the speed of the previous superthread.

 

[cobl04]

I don't love TUF.

Well, I think it's U2's best first half and possibly their worst second. The b-sides from that era ARE their best by a good mile or three.

I never knew that we agreed so much when it comes to U2. I've been able to go into nearly each and every one of those threads and just quote what you've already said.

What did Gaffer tape do?

I went into that thread with the Badminton obsesseds before, and I'm quite hurt at how much they all hate Atty Club.

 

[cobl04]

this:

I'm not as pure as I'd like to be, but I'm holding on to what little purity I have left.

could have been posted in this thread and had an entirely different meaning

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Okay, Danny. We get it.

I like the Atty Club, too. It always sounds fresh, probably due to its production.

Sound Relief DVD is out on Friday, according to the JB website.

looks fantastic, however it is bitterly disappointing that they've left out weather with you and better be home soon, as well as viva la vida.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They've still got "Fix You" where is when Chris Martin went for a jog ...

 

[bono_212]

Is that going to be all in one box? I almost want to pay one of you to get that for me, but I'm sure it'll be regionally unusuable.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Well i'll probably won't get it, i'm too lazy to even buy myself the Popmart DVD, so that's why I asked for it for Christmas.

 

[cobl04]

ah not sure about the region, ashley, i'll get back to you.

i can't wait. it was one of the most awesome experiences of my life.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

And for such a great cause, too.

Right now, i'm in the process of writing (another) song. Gotta put it down before I forget it, y'know.

A claustrophobic soul stuck in a small box
Your conscience thrown into the trash
You're a passenger in a moving car
En route to a crash

A rough idea, kind of.

 

[Axver]

looks fantastic, however it is bitterly disappointing that they've left out weather with you and better be home soon, as well as viva la vida.

Yeah, what the fuck. They should've cut a fucking Gabriela Cilmi or Kasey Chambers song that nobody wanted to hear so that those songs could be included instead.

 

[major_panic]

Yeah, what the fuck. They should've cut a fucking Gabriela Cilmi or Kasey Chambers song that nobody wanted to hear so that those songs could be included instead.

Completely agree with both of you. Rubbish.

Also, hello thread!

 

[cobl04]

Yeah, what the fuck. They should've cut a fucking Gabriela Cilmi or Kasey Chambers song that nobody wanted to hear so that those songs could be included instead.

i know. and i know you aren't really a coldplay fan, but you'd think they could get rid of the kasey chambers garbage which all of about two people will watch, and fit in the hit single from the album, which was great live.

ah well, i think they included the paul kelly, split enz, hunnas & oils sets in full, so can't complain too much.

 

[major_panic]

Ha, I would actually rather listen to all of the BeeGees songs rather than Gabriela Cilmi or Kasey Chambers.

 

[major_panic]

I want to know why Bliss N Eso get a full set as opposed to the Finns or Coldplay. That just doesn't seem right.
