U2Man
ONE love, blood, life
I agree with Chizip
The stage is ugly but at least it contains some new ideas.

KUEFC09U2 said:so no point in me trying to defend all the time
KUEFC09U2 said:eh your just going against what you said yesterday there,
didnt U2 do something similar with a moving lemon once upon a time? hmm could that be were the idea of a moving bstage came from?
but wait yes the stones are so innovative
again is that not just taking the "bomb shelter" into another level?U2Man said:
No, I said it was ugly yesterday, too. I hadn't noticed the people in there yesterday. That is the cool part.
i dont see why you have to be like that with me all the time? am i not allowed to state my opinion on liking the tour?U2Man said:
What do you say people, are we going to believe this????
KUEFC09U2 said:again is that not just taking the "bomb shelter" into another level?
how am i? please explain how i am stretching it?Chizip said:haha youre really stretching it there kuef

please dont people will only find a way to once again go totally against U2,mabel said:Well, I'll tell ya, I'll gladly take U2's less-than-innovative stage design (though personally, I found the light curtains very impressive w/ a straight on view across the arena) and their top ticket price at $170...how sad is that?! The carport and moving b-stage don't seem that spectacular to demand a $450 top price ticket! That's just straight up CRAZY! That's a grand for a pair of tickets!
U2Man said:
Um, if you wish to see it that way, but no matter what, I have never seen people placed at this spot at any concert.
what points that? people seem to be allowed to bitch and moan etc without being challanged, so why shouldnt i be allowed to defend the band?U2Man said:
You are, but you are proving my point at this very moment.

can you join in the debate i posted below, i would love to hear your idea'sU2Man said:
You just said that you had realised that there was no point in you defending the band all the time in here. I make a little ironic comment about that and what happens? You turn into full defense mode once again. Can't you see it's a little funny?
Popmartijn said:I have to say that, apart from its uglyness, the Stones' stage isn't that innovative either. I mean, having the audience on the stage isn't a new concept either. Metallica did it in 1992, IIRC, and Bryan Adams also did it in 1995.
OK, so maybe the moving B-stage is new (although Mötley Crüe also had their drummerstage moved into/over the audience somewhere in the mid-Eighties or so), so it's nice that's where the $450 tickets went to.
At the moment you also can't make many comparisons to U2's Vertigo indoor stage. We haven't seen the stage yet the Stones will use for their indoor shows. Are those shows 360, by the way?
Chizip said:
yeah 450 bucks is downright ridiculous. i wonder if those are the tickets that get you on the stage, if so then i could kind of see why people would pay for it. but theres no way i would.
and from their you cant even see the stage, just a straight view downmabel said:
I believe the $450 is for floor seats. I think the ones on stage were $75 for upper level and $200 (or maybe $250?) for lower level.
fair enough, but you have to understand my comments also, on that theirs really very little U2 could do now were people wouldnt be accusing them of copying themselvesChizip said:
well the main point i was trying to make was that this tour is new ground for the Stones in terms of production.
U2's tour, whether it be the indoor or outdoor show, isnt really something new for U2.
im not saying that the stones stage is better or anything, or even if their new ideas were good ideas. but they do get some credit for trying something new, new for them at least.

but we would still have people that wouldnt be happy with thatChizip said:
i dont know, there are stll lots of things they could try. they are very creative guys, im sure they could come up with lots of good ideas. in fact i think it was the bands hands off approach to this tour which has led to the lack of creativity. maybe if they had been more involved in the process we would have seen some more cool ideas.
one different idea for the arena should would have been to have a circular stage right in the middle of the floor. that would have been something new for U2.

thats just abusrd
zoopop said:
There have been complaints but the Stones are far more worse when it comes to playing the same hits. Since 89 it never fails to hear:
Start Me Up
Satisfaction
Brown Sugar
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Its Only Rock N Roll
Street Fighting Man
Gimme Shelter
Tumbling Dice
Sympathy For The Devil
Miss You
Jumpin Jack Flash
Honky Tonk Woman
And the new Warhorse "You Got Me Rockin" (Terrible song)
With U2 we have:
Sunday
I Will Follow
Bullet
Streets
WOWY
Pride
One
The Stones only played 4 songs from the new album last night. Can you imagine if U2 played 4 songs off of HTDAAB? This board would be .
Hopefully the arena shows for the Stones will be a bit more adventurous. I won't pay over $100 to see a stadium show.
