Just wanted to re-introduce myself. I used to be on this board quite a bit from 2000 to 2005 and then life got in the way. Anyway, I am a huge fan of U2, always have been always will be. I am 36 years old, originally from Brooklyn, NY, then lived in the Midwest while I got my MBA and then...

I was just listening to some old bootlegs...so many incredible concert moments. Here is just a list off the top of my head. Feel free to add your favorites (there are thousands of these, really). - PopMart Sarajevo (9-23-97): Bono loses his voice completely during the show and, during...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following parties responsible for both me and my fiancee being ticketless for the coming Vertigo Tour. In no specific order, U2.con, Ticketbastard, ClearChannel, the wonderful scalpers and moochers (including those great souls at...

From the K-Rock NYC interview Adam Clayton: Razorlight Nick Cave Elvis Costello Larry Mullen: The Killers The Who Bono: Elvis Costello The Killers The Strokes – esp. their 2nd Album The Hives The Libertines Oasis – Anticipating their next album Radiohead Coldplay – "up there with the best of...

Just listen to that Edge solo at the end of Miracle Drug during the Radio 1 performance. It is just brilliant. Good lord, this song is going to be a monster in a live setting. Undoubtedly, one of his best riffs and solos EVER. AJ

So what songs or catchy melodies are stuck in your head right now? For me, it is Crumbs From Your Table. I'm not sure why...it's not even my favorite song from the album (Miracle Drug is at the moment). It's something about how the deep vocal is delivered in the chorus accented by the...

These tunes are just enormous in scope and breadth. Besides the awards it will surely take in...the real question is this - will this be an album all of your casual non-U2 fan friends will come up to you and start going off on how much they love it? You know, the people who usually tell you...

Those who voted for Bush should be willing to fight his war. And send your kids over there once they are old enough to fight. This way, when the flag draped coffin comes back, you’ll see what your vote got you.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6192327/site/newsweek/ The article says it all. Cheney intentionally misled the public to start this war in Iraq, which has cost so many lives. Think about how many soldiers and civilians (including innocent CHILDREN!) have been killed because of this...

Not to be all mushy, but I was just thinking about how lucky I am to be a fan of U2. How often do you find things that add so much to your life? For next to nothing, I get so much out of listening to and reading about this band. I even met my fiancee at Madison Square Garden on 10-24-01 (one...

So in the past year, I have seen and gotten into Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand and other outstanding young bands. I can definitely hear the same energy of these modern bands in Vertigo's tempo and beautifully distorted power chords. Also, U2 is taking full advantage...

So we are all in different states of mind as we hit a new U2 album. I can recall each stage of my life and where I was at when I heard a certain U2 album for the first time. Like last album, I just graduated from college and was just starting out working and hanging out in Manhattan, and...

Let's Go VERTIGO!

It's been a very long time, but I am back. As one of the originals around here, I figured it was only right that I be around for the new album being released. Plus, the blue crack is hard to quit. What has happened since the last time I posted? Well, let's see, I got engaged to another...

I think a lot of people in MSG saw me last night. I was the tall dude with the light blue glowstick on the right (Edge side) of the inside of the heart. First, let me say that I should never have made it into the heart. I arrived at around 7:10 PM and managed to go right in there. I knew...

It is time to kick some serious ass. Ever see the movie Gladiator - when they have to kill all those Barbarians? And General Maximus goes, "on my word, unleash hell". That is what is about to happen to Afghanistan. If I were an "innocent" Afghan, I would run like hell away from that...

"All I Want Is You" Like a whisper, it enters slowly, quietly, just like With or Without You. Short, sweet strums of Edge's guitar breaks a cold silence. Then Bono...he sounds like he is in a quiet room with a slight echo, but it feels like it is just you speaking to the one you are thinking...
