Yep it was filmed yesterday and should be up on YouTube this week.
Won’t watch if Adam and Larry aren’t there.

But I think in the end, you either like the newer material/shows or you don't. If not, then great, find something else you like now or listen to the older stuff. It hasn't gone anywhere.
This is a cop out. Fans aren't perusing shows and catalogues for something to do. Presumably they've been tied to the band for decades, impacted by the music, and have expectations...perhaps anticipation is more fitting. If they don't like the new stuff, then they have every reason to be disappointed and can express that. They can't just mindlessly flip to next Spotify recommendation as if the next chapter of this band isn't happening.

fun fact: i was 10 when this song came out and until i was about 16 i really thought the line was "they want their money back if you're a lyin' honeybee".
You do know Spotify also allows you to search for something you want to hear; in a not so mindless fashion I might add.
I fail to see the cop out. Do you want all their new material to appease your expectations? If so, I've lost the plot of this forum. I feel like most of us here complain about the constant attempts to appease fans ruining their creativity.
I feel like most people are here to self-flagellate over their intellectual superiority or sub-cultural capital accrual of hipster cred by being the “voice of reason” among “sheep”. People like that are either emasculated in their real lives or just cunts. Either way…

You went in a couple directions here I'm not quite tracking. The point was that it's hard for some fans to just move on "ho-hum" if they happen to be disappointed by the new output - whether it's a gig with no LM or these irritating SOS renditions. They're invested. Disappointment is valid. That's all.
Disappointment is valid. Someone suggesting that if you are disappointed you should listen to something else or old stuff being a cop out? Come off it. You want to wallow in your sadness at things not meeting your standards, fine - but don’t chastise someone for suggesting that you shouldn’t try and infect others with your negativity on a U2 forum where not everyone feels the same as you. Liking things you don’t is legitimate. Just like you not liking them is also legitimate.
Oh stop. Got yourself tied in knots.
Excuuuuuuse me, there are also fat puns and mediocre photoshops
God damn it
Whose idea was it to make cover versions of 40 U2 songs with a worse singer and replace every instrument with acoustic guitars?

As much as I love the Chili Peppers and they clearly have a massive global following, their live performances in stadiums can be, um, "erratic", so not sure I'd put them in that list alongside bands like Foos or Metallica whose live reputations are right up there with U2.
