hmmm...
If you were a teenager in 1987/8, and I was, you either liked U2, REM, INXS, and those types of bands (can't think of who else was around back then) OR you liked the wild heavy metal boys.
Every single person I was friends with and that my older brother was friends with listened to heavy metal and not U2 and the other bands so it was very easy to not like them. But I did have a mind of my own and I could choose for myself who to listen to and I still didn't like U2. I loved INXS but the rest of it sucked. U2 was in your face all of the time and it got old.
That's all I want to say because U2 is the most important music that has ever been in my life. I would be lost without them.
The last half of 2001 and the first half of 2002 were unbelievable shitty for me for various reasons. Seeing them in October got me through the bad stuff; it was the first time and the last time for a few months that I actually felt something besides numbness and sadness. I don't know where I'd be now if I hadn't gone to that show, and it's really scary to think of what might have happened.
I ALWAYS liked U2 songs; I knew all the words to the overplayed 80's radio songs and I was only 8 when The Joshua Tree came out. I remember my dad had War and JT, and he liked only good music, so U2 must be good. I didn't connect the 80's songs to the 90's songs until my room mate introduced me to the 90's album in college. I was like, DUH! How did I not KNOW THIS? And the rest is history...
Actual R&H Question: I read a post awhile back that said Edge unplugs Bono's guitar at some point during the movie. Does anyone know what scene this is? During All Along the Watchtower, Edge plays with some buttons and my brother insists this is the part, but I don't think so. Thanks!
