We could hire a really excellent band to cover U2's entire catalog...that would be the next best thing.

yeah, that's what I was thinking
unless we can call the real U2 and get them to re-record their music. Maybe they took away all their music because they were tired of fans hating them

all pictures of the band members would be erased too and it would not be possible to take any new pictures.

And what if I want to copy all those songs from your brain to mine? Would that be possible? Or is your brain like an Ipod? Does it delete all the stuff on it when you try to copy it to another set?

Well, I'd hope that I was the only person with any memory of them and write and record JT, UF, and AB from memory. And then save Africa.

I figure you could pay me to stand by your bed while you sleep, and I can sing them into your ear, really quietly. Then they'll be stored in your brain!
And stop making faces, U2Man. You've never heard me sing. Maybe I'm really fantastically good!

On a slightly unrelated topic, I never seem to get tired of the album version of Pride. What a fantastic song! I think it may even be in my Top 5 at this moment.

I think tonight I'm shocking myself and liking the 80s a lot more than the 90s or 00s.

I would have wasted a lot of precious months of my life. Unless of course I get to writing all their music before you guys

And when the next album is out, you'll be amongst the first to download and/or get it. Then you'll be one of the first to have analyzed it in great detail, pointing out errors or "little extras" at specific time points in each song; how you'd alter the track-listing or cover art; how Edge could have added an extra reverb here; or how Adam's used a similar baseline there. Then you'd be at enough concerts to be able to critique numerous shows and how all the set-lists are too similar.
As for me, if the music never existed, then clearly I wouldn't know about it. I might have a fascination with a new group or a bigger fascination with an existing group. In other words, there might be a substitute for U2, just as there was for the years I listened to music before I knew U2 existed (and even after for a while).
I'd also probably be wealthier. Less concerts, less collecting = more $$. But as I wrote, I might have spent that on another artist, so I guess it balances out.
In other words, if they never existed, I think my life would be fine.
Now, if they were to suddenly disappear and none of U2's music was somehow not available (meaning, due to some massive power outage I couldn't play tapes, CD's, vinyl or mp3's for an extended period), then I would feel it to be a great loss. Losing out on 20+ years of some of the finest rock music, with powerful lyrics, vocals and music, would mean a lot to me. I would miss it tremendously. But then, I'd also miss all music and other forms of entertainment (assuming, in my scenario, that in this "power loss", no radio, TV, movies, etc., would work either). At least, though, I'd have memories of the songs and hum them. And my dreams - just this morning I had a dream where I was Bono and at the same time, I was watching him (one of those odd dreams). And he was singing a JT-era song. Good stuff! I'd have that. One can't take away memories... even Alzheimer's allows for old memories to remain.

you could release it as a b-side to TGBHF. then everybody would hails it's brilliance. there would be numerous discussions on the "heavy as truck" line, and how deep and mystical and far ahead of it's time it is.

I know what I would do: I would listen to Ricky Martin.

I´m not too sure about that. What if instead of singing U2 songs in my ear, you whisper your evil plans to conquer the world and make me carry them out, huh?

so in other words U2 is responsible for the end of the world.
