I've got Uncut with U2 right in front of me. It's called Uncut Legends #3.

That was a special issue that came out a few months ago. There is now a new, regular issue, with a picture of Bono as the Fly, which has just come out.
 
Q and Uncut (the new one- not the legends one) are both available at Virgin Megastore.

Picked up the Uncut today, and Q a couple of weeks ago.
 
I got Blackbook today :up:

So I go to my favourite magazine store and I can't see it. So I ask if they have it and the guy goes 'oh yeah, it's back here'....so off we walk to the back of the store where the porno mags are :ohmy: :laugh:
 
No one has mentioned MOJO!

The edition i'm talking about was a special LIST edidition which had hundreds of various lists regarding music, plus a special u2 section with U2's best and worst songs and ten of bono's spiritual lyrics about jesus.

THE MOJO TOP 5 for those curious is:

1. ONE
2. Sunday Bloody Sunday
3. With or Without You
4. Streets
5. EBTTRT

and THE WORST 5 (highly contentious):

1. The Wanderer
2. Mothers of the Disappeared :ohmy:
3. When love comes to town
4. Walk On :ohmy:
5. New York


There ya have it, the list for u2's top songs is actually 20 songs long and there is a couple of sentences about each song included in the lists.
 
The uncut article seemed a little more trashy then blender's. Uncut seems to suggest that Bono regularly cheated on Ali. I skipped several paragraphs just because they did to much description and not enough information. Also Uncut tends to be a little obscure. They did however have the best picture of Bono on the cover. Blender's article was to the point and very interested.
 
Uncut used tons of quotes from the Flanagan book, and took many of them out of context, hence the "suggestion" of Bono's infidelity. If you hadn't read Flanagan's book, and only read this article (which also focuses on the Zoo tour) then you would get a very distorted view of what happened. Very poor "reporting", in my view.
 
biff hit the nail on the head.
uncut loves to dredge up nasty bono gosip.
it's no secret that anyone with as big a mouth as bono is easily misrepresented when his entire quotes are not presented.
that said, he certainly was trying to shift his image at that time, so i think he liked creating "mystery" about himself.
he was not interested in being seen as an "altar boy" anymore.
for fair and balanced...here's some quotes from an interview with Ali Hewson that ran in Ireland in Hot Press Magazine at about the same time...1993

“ As a reader, you've got to try to figure out where a journalist may be coming from, and why, to get between the lines and find the real truth behind a story. lt's strange for me, doing interviews at the moment. For years Bono has gone through all this and I'd say, in terms of reviews or whatever, 'don't read all that stuff.' He'd tell me, 'l've got to, to have a balanced idea of what people think.' Now I'm In the same position. But our marriage is strong enough to withstand the gossip.

"What I think is more cruel is when these writers pick on couples that have broken up, who are really vulnerable. And I just wonder if journalists like that sleep well at night. I really don't know how they can get out of their beds and go into work and feel they're doing a worthwhile job."


………………. (The article concludes withthis).............

So Ali Hewson isn't one of those stereotypical, complacent, rock 'n' roll wives happy to remain in the background while her husband does whatever he damn well chooses?

"You've interviewed Bono," she says smiling. "You've had an insight into him and you must know he wouldn't be with someone he doesn't respect, as is often the case with those rock 'n' roll marriages you're referring to. And I am the same. The one thing we have for each other is total respect. As a result of that we are still together.

"We've known each other since we were kids and we've been through a lot of stuff at this stage.

"Part of it is that we know how to give each other space. In all these ways, it is a good relationship and that's why it has survived. It's certainly not a stereotypical rock 'n' roll marriage."
 
Even though this is a thread about magazines featuring U2, just wanted to say I received the Nov issue of Spin yesterday and after scanning through it today there is nothing on U2. :madspit: or ipod, no Vertigo, nadda.
I haven't read everything yet, but enough to let me know they are "wankers." They did have a full page ad for downloading music from Wal-Mart. :reject: They keep sending me discounts to subscribe again, before Jan. Yeah like that's going to happen. I think they truly have been living in a cave. :rant:

That is lame that they have nothing at all on U2. But if i recall correctly, I think some "inside source" had reported that U2 is set to be on the December cover of Spin.
