U2girl, in those days the priority was to make the best record they could and because the records were so good U2 became bigger than life, especially in the States. That creativity and succes can go hand in hand was proven with records like Joshua tree and Achtung baby. It's not that I don't...

I am sorry to burst your bubble but charts have nothing to do with a record being a classic or not. Beautiful Freak from the Eels is a classic, Smashing Pumpkins with Siamese Dreams is a classic or Faith No More with Angel Dust. If you let the charts speak for themselves Christina is making one...

First of all: I love U2. I grew up with their music. The first single I bought was a live version from I will follow from Pinkpop( my first record was a Kiss record but that is something I try to forget). The point is that I feel that because U2 wants to appeal to a bigger audience and because...

It's a bit of a joke that U2 is putting so much effort in promotion just because they want to compete with Christina and Britney. In the past they didn't do talkshows or other irrelevant stuff and they were still very popular with the underground scene and the mainstream. Nowadays they go for...

The quote is not mine but from journalists who have heard the new record and I hate to say it but the new Coldplay single Speed of sound sounds incredibly good. Sounds a bit like when U2 worked for the first time with Eno and Lanois. I miss the days of The Unforgetable Fire and The Joshua Tree...

What guitar is Edge using for "the fly": Gibson or Fender?

Great song and very different from the rest of the album. Cool stuff.

Can you please e-mail the songs to me? jauffret@wish.net

Could you send it to me too, please. Thank you very much. jauffret@wish.net

Thank you.

On HTDAAB u2 is doing classic u2 with a perfection not matched on their previous records. No song skipping on this record because this 12 song beast has no weak links. The only drawback is that when you hear the new songs you immediately wonder if you haven't heard them somewhere before in some...

Should have been on the album. One of their best songs.

HTDAAB is the record I have been waiting for. Achtung Baby was a fantastic dark record but HTDAAB with songs like "Sometimes you can't make it on your own" is the sound of a band turning itself inside out emotionally. I can't stop listening to it. It's no Edge record or Bono record. It is music...

I promised myself I wouldn't but I downloaded the whole album and AYGWF and made me a cd. I am so weak.

I am getting the 3 different versions of Vertigo on monday. That and the very apropriate "Are you gonna wait forever" are going to help me hold out till monday 22 november when the deluxe version is in the house.
