Me,neither.
It's possile
CK meant the #cough# as like when someone is
reminding someone(s) while in a f2f convo (at the watercooler, or a bar etc) that - one "has forgotten" something important- as in this case-- NLOTH!
Here's a part of a link posted back some
< I just waded through these last 25 pgs so no I haven't tracked everything to a "t">
Yes!
And I have posted that
my 3 U2 masterpieces are JT/AB/NLOTH a bunch of times.
And more reccently I commented that NLOTH does seems to mix certain elements of JT & AB together. But then synergistically stand out on it's own.
In fact one of the few things they weren't (imo) able to punch as sonically in concert as the album reccording
was the sheer shift into sonic "overdrive" from the rising from silence of a nearly single-note flare of the very first note that starts the begining of the Title track before it kicks into the stratosphere!
The NLOTH songs were fantastic live as well.
Only they let themselves
or I wonder if McG added fuel to the fire - of going from being
very postive, exuberent about it -- to the dispiritedwalk-back from not meeting "sales expections" to the "too esoteric" reccent quote from Bono.
I for one was disapponited that I didn't hear NLOTH, Breath, UC again. bah
(tho I must say since I hadn't heard
Zooropa
live before - It pretty much compensated the absence of those other
I'm sort of disappointed but i really wouldn't mind the tour (at least for the USA - NE) be put off till 2015 (arenas say in ? March/April '15 after South America) in their later summer period, I believe).
I couild use the time to save more/pay off debt.
And as a visual artist (B&W, color drawing, sculpture, Artist Books, eventually painting again)who's been struggling for a long while with some major aspects of work I'm tryng to renew some, and start new ideas -- it can be very difficult.
And I have learned at times
not to be a perfectionist while still striving to enjoy creating the best I can at the time. Tho
some perfectionism has it's place.
ACrowely... I don't quite get it....
why would you want them to retire when they clearly still get so much from playing live!
SInce I was a serious Springsteen fan before U2 ( just by chronological emergence of the two at the time)... yes I know different since Bruce is willing (along with E St) to do a lot of change up in his various performances that u2 often lag in ......
...but still!
I beleive they still have the goods even if they maybe should get a bit ort iof their own way...but maybe it weill be fore the best
There's little I can say to those of you who practically "abosolutely" predict the new album is going to be meh to shite. :shnrug:
As the beloved Yogi Berra (RIP his wife
) has said.....
"it ain't over till it's over."
CMIS I don't know you at all till seeing some posts over the last month or 2 but I hope things...well, I hope you have the strength and support to get what you say will be one of the hardest years of your life.
I'm pretty sure i had wanted to comment on something in that post about U2 but al the time it's taken me to type this out it's very late here ...but that's what I remember at this point.
Nick66 good stuff in your most reccent (and i think the TR quote should help encourage meto keep pluging away in my creatitive life
post.
And yes I have enjoyed relatively to real reccent music...
I just have to remember to listen to the one University Station I can get a very good signal on, as well as a variety in the rock+orther music continium where I can actually here that kind of range!
