In follow up to my Midnight Oil post a week or so ago: You guys can check out the Oils tonight on David Letterman (Mon 25th). Tell us what you think of their new material and their longevity.

Here's the deal. Let's forget Midnight Oil for the moment, I made a number of assumptions about U2. 1. "they sacrificed popularity for the sake of sales." (we both agree that I assumed this). The point is, that you can not say I am decisively "wrong" on this point. Why? Because there is no...

I only saw one Elevation show, Madison Square Garden (leg three). (sorry that I am not made of cash like a lot of people on this board) But the real question is, how many midnight oil shows have you seen at all? I have seen plenty of both U2 and Midnight Oil.

Dismayed? I think you are treating this topic with a bit too much angst. I get dismayed when I see levels of crime rising in my country, or youth suicide, NOT for the lack of evidence to support an argument which states that I personally prefer Midnight Oil at the moment to U2, as an opinion. I...

If any one wants to hear any of the Oils new stuff in Real Audio Streaming go to www.midnightoil.tv or www.midnightoil.com for some essays and background on the new album and the band.

Hey STING2, Aggression in your arguments does not make them any more convincing. You keep talking about you knowing the facts, and I don't. You might as well say that U2 is the best band on the planet as a fact. In that case we cannot argue. I have shown you facts, and our interpretation of...

sorry, I'm back at Uni... can't write essay responces anymore to STING2's comments. Just bare in mind the title of this thread. An Opinion and opinions aren't facts. Oh and MBH, I've seen U2 and the Oils live on a number of occasions. The Oils are more intense for a number of reasons. 1. They...

STING2: I think you'll find that if you extend that quote, Bono said that the attitude behind that little interchange between Bono and Edge shaped the attitude towards the rest of the album (ie not to be innovative, but to be U2). So, No, the quote was not taken out of context. In fact, it is...

didn't someone describe ATYCLB " a sonic patchwork of their previous albums". Sicy: do you only like bands that are cool? well that's where we differ. I have been to a number of message boards like Radiohead, Midnight Oil and REM. You'd be surprised at the number of people who say the exact...

No I am not painting U2 in a corner. Shock-horror I am just speaking of things that I disagree with about them. Which is healthy. Like I said, I really like U2. I have read Until The End of The World. And you re-inforced my point. That was 1993. This is now. Surely you are not suggesting...

Love U2. Don't get me wrong. And it was an opinion piece. BUT. U2 have constantly admitted that ATYCLB was delibrately made so that it could compete with the pop-charts. Do you think they would have pushed the album so much with promo appearances if they didn't want to be 'popular'. They...

yeah but they're not 75 are they.

Rock'n'roll originated in the 1950s. This means that a 25 year old rockstar in 1950, would be 75 now. (are you following my mathematics). We have this inbuilt assumption that Rock stars are finished by the age of 35 - 45. The problem is, that Rock'n'roll has not been around long enough to...

Hello international community. A big recommendation: BUY the New Midnight Oil Album CAPRICORNIA! It is the best thing you'll do all year. And Americans and Europeans, make sure you catch them. They are touring at the moment. Aussies have to wait to OCTOBER. U2 and Midnight Oil are my equal...
