Big Week For U2 Fans

[BEVERLY56]

With the DVD release and being on the Johnny Cash special - problem is I don't remember if that show is on Tues or Weds, help pls! Also any idea what song they might sing? My personal vote is for A Boy Named Sue.

 

[Nisse]

The Wanderer?

 

[HelloAngel]

Sometimes

They were rehearsing MOFO for jonny cash.

 

[BEVERLY56]

Duh.

They'll do The Wanderer.

Not a Johnny Cash fan, I dont know that song. My ex had a bunch of his albums. So I divorced him. If they dont sing A Boy Named Sue, I wont know it.

You should've stayed married.

 

[BEVERLY56]

No. The albums were just a symptom of a much bigger problem.

(I do know a little of Ring of Fire. and Folsom Prison Blues. Oh my god - he poisoned me!) I cant believe that Johnny Cash is considered cool right now.

He isn't cool right now. He always was cool.
Those albums were probably a symptom of exquisite taste.

 

[BEVERLY56]

OK. You win. Johnny Cash is cool. He's dead, so it doesn't really matter. I'll watch the show to see U2. I suppose its 2 hrs long and Criminal Minds won't be on.

Can you even see this show in The Netherlands?

 

[Popmartijn]

Don't know yet. Hopefully... once...

do you get sunshine under that rock?

 

[BEVERLY56]

ha ha. yes i do, but no country music of any kind whatsoever.

(and I do watch House)

 

[jay canseco]

U2 will simply promote their latest single, OOTS.

 

[BEVERLY56]

dunno but i believe i read somewhere that johnny cash was a big influence on U2. Did they do something with him at some time?

Johnny Cash sang vocals on the last song (The Wanderer) on the 1993 U2 release Zooropa.

That is why they were suposedly rehearsing the song. If they do this song it's a huge thing for U2 fans because people have been dying to hear Bono do vocals on the song.

 

[BEVERLY56]

i have never heard this song. i dont have zooropa. thanks for the explanation, i hope i get to hear it weds night.

 

[Lemonfix]

After writing a longer post and deleting it, I think I will keep all comments to myself.

That's U2's second best album (infinitesimal little after Achtung Baby)!

 

[BEVERLY56]

its on my list to get some day. Achtung is my favorite. anyway sorry if i ruffled any feathers about johnny cash, i was really just kidding kind of. ive just never thought of him as cool, it blows my mind that U2 collaborated with him.

 

[trevster2k]

Johnny Cash also sang a cover of One.

 

[catlhere]

Not everyone has to be this hugely knowledgeable U2 fan. I wish people would be lessed shocked/appalled when someone doesn't worship/know all their 90's material. lol.

And as for Johnny Cash. I would guess The Wanderer as well. I really don't like his music either. I'm not ashamed to say it. It's unappealing to me, so

Thanks I forgot all about the show.
But not the DVD!

 

[Bono's shades]

Johnny Cash was more rock and roll than most people in rock and roll right now.

I like the idea of finally hearing Bono sing The Wanderer, but I have to wonder if a lot of the people tuning in will hear it and wonder, "what the hell is this?"

Exactly. That's the numero uno reason I'm tuning in to watch this.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Edge should do a karaoke rendition of Ring of Fire

Just my luck--I have a meeting tomorrow night (and no VCR), so I'll miss it
