Who should U2 take on tour?

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Nooooooo. I want Muse, dammit!

come to NJ!

 

[GibsonGirl]

come to NJ!

I would if I could!

 

[4U2Play]

Probably the only time the support act actually outrivaled U2 in their performance.

I thought Rage was better than U2 at PopMart Las Vegas

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

well have faith GG cuz according to the official website they are doing more U2 dates as well as their own tour in the Autumn!

 

[mikal]

so wait, is Snow Patrol actually confirmed for Chicago? i can't find any official word on this.

 

[AtomicBono]

Muse

please come to Chicago

please.

I saw them at Lollapalooza (WHICH IS IN CHICAGO) and they blew my fuckin' mind. They are absolutely unreal live, the only band I've seen that equals U2 (Radiohead and Rage are close, but not quite). They are meant for stadiums.

 

[bratty_cat]

could be worse... Black Eyed Peas anyone?

ugh, they're awful. is it really confirmed that they'll be opening some shows on the tour?

umm, no. Negative.

 

[4U2Play]

umm, no. Negative.

You must've been one of those people who got mad when we destroyed your foldout chair during Rage's set Sorry, bud. U2 looked unprepared that night

I wouldnt be entirely shocked if this was true. The energy that Zack and boys bring is insane. I'm truly jealous of those of you that got to see this show. Unfortunately this was at a time when concert hopping was impossible for me

If you like RATM's music, you need to see them live, if they ever tour the States again. Truly awesome shows.

I'd seen them in 1996 in Golden Gate Park, and thought they were good, but that set they did opening for U2 in Vegas turned me into a big fan of theirs.

I'm hoping U2 fans give Glasvegas a chance, I just wonder how the band will handle that gigantic stage and not being allowed to move around the catwalk

 

[Outsider]

my roommates love glasvegas. the european shows sound like they have great openers so far. I'm also jealous of those that are gonna get to enjoy the Kaiser chiefs They're fun to watch.

I REALLY wanted to see Rage at Coachella in '07 but it sold out The closet I've been to seeing them live (well 3/4 of them)was when audioslave played that free show on hollywood blvd some years ago.

are the opening bands really not allowed to use the catwalk? I always assumed it was more of a "courtesy" or "respect" thing. Hmm...I remember Eddie vedder practically stumbling on the runway...but then again ...he's eddie vedder

Rage at Coachella was amazing, simply because I couldn't believe they had actually reunited. The fans up front were totally insane, I think that was the worst crush I've ever seen at a concert, pretty dangerous actually.

The only problem with Rage that night was the entire left bank of speakers blew out after the first song, so they only played at half volume. Didn't seem to bother any of the maniacs in the pits, though.

You're probably right. Flag Man (from Marley's band) walked around the ellipse every night waving his flag, so I guess U2 don't necessarily forbid it. Glasvegas are stuck behind their guitars, though, so I think they'll be planted in one spot for their set.

 

[Carek1230]

Glasvegas for 24 July in Dublin!!!!

 

[AtomicBono]

I saw Rage at Lollapalooza, fuckin' tight as hell. Zack had to keep telling people to step back because everyone in the front was getting totally crushed. I found myself a comfortable spot where I could rock out without suffocating. i had to jump up and down to see anything, but that's how it goes. Here's hoping I'm at least on the rail for U2...!

 

[last unicorn]

MUSE, oh my God, I want to see them, too

I remember an interview with Gwen Stefani where she said Bono told her she could use the heart as much as she wanted on the Elevation tour. She said she felt weird doing it, like that was U2's and she was trespassing, so she said she only went out on it during No Doubt's last song of the night.

I guess it's a respect thing. Kudos to Gwen for that.
