OK - am Yousending it right now
I have indeed been a member since 2001 - I lurked for so many years, and enjoyed so much on this forum, when I realised that I got so much from seeing other U2 fan's opinions and posts, that I really should fork out and become a Premium Member. I may be at work a lot, and not able to participate as much as I would like, but I am happy to be here....
Brief U2 related history
Been a fan for 6 or so years - started with Joshua Tree, and fell in love with all their work.
Saw U2 twice in 2001 - first time I won tickets for Astoria, and took my dad, who introduced me to them originally, so it was a way to say thanks. Gig was amazing by the way.
I saw them the second time in Birmingham.
I just moved to London and so I went over to see them at the BBC!!!
I also was inspired to play guitar and sing by them, and did a couple of gigs based on U2 - one in a nightclub in Holland, and more recently in Sheffield.
I have also produced my own full album of U2 covers (though I have improved considerably since then), and I am currently doing songwriting.
I am not sure if anyone is interested in all this, but though I'd post it anyway, so you folks know that I am for real
Cheers, and I'll get those links to you ASAP...
