Who out there are the Youngest and the Oldest U2 Fans?

Fan since "War" was released in the shape of the old and cool LP!
I heard Sunday Bloody Sunday and my teen's jaws dropped.
Since then...well you know

^ and if it really is 4.59am where you are right now you should sooooo be asleep


what song hooked you?

Haha It's a long story about the sleep. I've been sick lately and it's hard for me to sleep and...well...I told you it was a long story.

What song hooked me? Not sure. More like, what album hooked me. My dad and I watched Rattle and Hum and that interested me majorly!!! I then figured out that my dad had some cd's (Rattle and Hum, War, and Achtung Baby!) I'd say that Achtung Baby TOTALLY hooked me. One day on a snow day, I listened to it over and over and over and over again because I found it in our cd collection and I kinda knew U2 from Rattle and Hum. Been a U2 fan ever since.

Seen them 10 times since 1992 in 5 different countries!

I will have a daughter in about 2 weeks and I'm hoping to be able to go to a U2 concert with her in 7-10 years.... it will be a close call!

Thank you for the get well wishes.

Yes it was a nice introduction and the live stuff DID blow me away.

I had played clarinet pretty well before I knew U2 so I was extremely interested in music and playing it. But it was definitely U2 that really sparked my interest even further. I thank them greatly because it was Edge that inspired me to start playing guitar and listen to music differently. More maturely, I guess you could say.

 

[BEVERLY56]

Hmmmm....I just turned 52 years this past November, hope I am not the oldest fan.

Nope - I've got you beat by 4 months.

 

[U2Mama]

I'm almost 42 and have been a fan since I was 16.

 

[Mr. BAW]

Sorry ladies, I'm 57...

Probably a fan since Joshua Tree in 1986/87...a time of personal turmoil for me and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" really meant something...until 2 years later...

Growing up in the 50's and 60's, I was more influenced by rock and roll and then the British Invasion...

Couldn't wait for Sunday nights to see who was on the Ed Sullivan show...those were the days...

 

[MrPryck2U]

Ok, so who actually is the oldest and the youngest U2 fan here? Is anyone actually keeping track of all this?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Mr BAW is clearly the oldest

 

[Mr. BAW]

This question has been posed and I think Diamond is the oldest....

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Ok, so who actually is the oldest and the youngest U2 fan here? Is anyone actually keeping track of all this?

I place a bid to be the youngest.

Might as well be the youngest.

 

[YBORCITY]

Been a fan since June 27th 1983 when my sister dragged me to see U2 at the New Haven Coliseum (none of her freinds wanted to go so I was pressed into service). Ever since a fanatic
