Not quite as bad as I was hoping for, but, better than nothing.

You're a miserable fucking prick.

Aww. An online poster hurt your feelings about a band?

:hug:

Do not stoop to name calling, or else ill fucking recite all the lyrics to Volcano. You've been warned.

I'm not sure my feelings are hurt so much as I'm just tired of you repeating yourself over and over again. I think we all get it by now. And, it's not name calling, that's how you come off, but, you know that.
 
How many times does Bono have to sing "you're in the mauuudaaughhhghhh" before he realizes that it's way too low for his range?
 
[Verse 1]
The world is spinning fast tonight
You can hurt yourself tryin to hold on
To what you used to be
I’m so glad the past is all gone?

[pre-Chorus]
Been out in the wild
Been out in the night
Been out of your mind
Do you live here or is this a vacation?

[Chorus]
Volcano, you don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know
Volcano
Something in you wants to blow
Volcano
You don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know

[Verse 2]
Your eyes were like landing lights
They used to be the clearest blue
Now you don’t see so well
The future’s gonna land on you

[Pre-Chorus]
Been out in the wild
Been out in the night
Been out of your mind
Do you live here or is this a vacation?

[Chorus]
Volcano, you don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know
Volcano
Something in you wants to blow
Volcano
You don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know
You’re on a piece of ground above a volcano

[Verse 3]
You were alone
Now you’re not alone
You were alone
But now
YOU ARE ROCK N ROLL
YOU AND I ARE ROCK N ROLL
YOU ARE ROCK N ROLL
YOU AND I ARE ROCK N ROLL

[Chorus]
Volcano, you don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know
Volcano
Something in you wants to blow
Volcano
You don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know
You’re on a piece of ground above a volcano

There, now your threat is empty. What else ya got?

I have to admit, I don't even know the lyric there.

Also, I think I'm 100% numb to this song now....no desire to hear it, ever again, but, it does not bother me like an Elevation would....just....washes over me as I wait for the next, hopefully better song.
 
Well, if you like SOI era, this is the show for you.

Me, despite some cool surprises, I think I'll take night 1 with TEC, California and Sweetest Thing.

I dont mind you name calling but dont be a pussy and pretend you didnt. You called me a prick, and fair enough. Just dont back down. Own it!

Im entitled to be disappointed, and you lot are entitled to have a go at me. But the most important thing, of course, that we can all agree on is that I make a lot of money.
 
I think I'm generally just happy to hear songs I've never heard live before.

And that sounded pretty great.

You misunderstand my point. Of course I called you a miserable prick. There it is again...I just think that in your case, it's not name calling so much as part and parcel of your online persona. But, if you want to strictly treat it as name calling, so be it. I guess it's all semantics.

As for the last paragraph, I'm the one that sits in the douchebag seats almost every show, keep that in mind. And look at the setlists I'm willing to pay to hear.....

It looks so much worse than I remembered. :(
 
The Troubles is an all-time great U2 song and the best song of theirs since the Pop album.

I'm not planning on listening to all the shows (I didn't even think I'd be playing in the setlist parties), but I'm glad this is the last west coast show. Bring on the earlier start times for me! :wink:

Well, it's the closest SOI gets to an 8/10.

Kinda see the song getting overrated around here by virtue of the band ignoring it, but yeah it's good.

At some point recently I was roped into doing a top 15 favorite U2 songs and it was the only post-2000 song on the list.

Good, Im glad we came to an understanding.

As for my last paragraph, please note how ott asinine it was even by my lofty standards. It was an "aside" that was neither true nor relevant to my post but it made me sound like a douche so naturally I couldn't resist.
