    I+E vs JT vs E+I Which Tour is Best?

    It's a rare time to have U2 tour so much recently (if you live in the right part of the world), and to have three different tours in the last 3 years. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. How would you rank the three? High points and low points of each? I was lucky enough to see all I+E...

    5/12 – Vancouver, BC – BC Place

    Thoughts from Opening Night (spoilers) Just got back to my hotel after opening night. The show overall is really great and was wonderful to finally see so many songs I have wanted to see live. Opening was cool, crowd loved sbs first and nyd. The pre jt songs were all on b-stage with no...

    Edge says "New things" for 2010

    Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else, this is from new rolling stone. Here's what Edge says about the 2010 U2 360 tour: "Because of the YouTube broadcast, I can't imagine that we'd come back and continue with that exact same show. We'll want to develop and adapt it. The next time...

    Transitions. Mini-Movements

    U2's live show has always seemed to have the great "mini-movements" as Edge calls them. Units of songs that really flow well, and make for definitive sections. They have some of their best live moments this way (AIWIY->Streets, Bad-Streets, Bullet-Running-Streets, UTEOTW-NYD, LAPOE--...

    WAS- 'who can forgive forgiveness where forgiveness is not'

    Once I knew there was a love divine Then came a time I thought it knew me not Who can forgive forgiveness where forgiveness is not Only the lamb as white as snow I have been thinking that about this line from WAS since the album came out, and I think there are two explanations that both seem to...

    Unreleased New Songs on Tour

    So, with all the talk of Songs of Ascent and "Every Breaking Wave", what are the odds we get to hear a song or two on tour before the next album is out. If the band ends up releasing SOA, in November- would they play a couple of the new songs on tour in the US this fall? I remember that...

    Magnificent

    Magnificent is loaded with biblical themes and references, as reading through the lyrics this morning, and kept coming back to several ideas in it. I made some notes, that point to biblical ideas throughout the song. There really isn't a single verse that is not loaded with biblical ideas...

    The Whole better than the parts?

    Let me preface by saying that i like all the songs a lot. The more i listen to this album the more i like every song on it. That said, after listening to this album non stop the last few days, i think Edge's comment about wanting people to listen to the whole album is dead on. To me the...

    My U2 Song Chart

    Was working on this for a week or so, when i was bored at work. I thought of plotting songs this way, when people kept comparing vetigo, and goyb. are they that similar? not really. This graph is overly simplified, and is very subjective. You really only have two ways of ratings songs to...

    How would you rank the lead singles?

    With now hearing Get On Your Boots, how would you rank it among U2's first singles? I have been listening to GOYB all morning, along with the first singles from the last 6 albums. I am only ranking them, by the ones that I was waiting for to come out. So for me its R&H through now. I...

    Bono responsible for leaked songs / Interference made the news - ALL DISCUSSION HERE

    just thinking while listening to these new beach clips, that u2 has to very well aware of the other clips (bomb and '06), and this blaring of the new songs by bono is very much a intentional leak. its a way to creat some buzz, and get some of the songs out there in a way that isn't...

    Red Hill Mining Town Video

    So it looks like this video should have stayed in the vault. Is it just me, or is this far and away the worst U2 video of all time? Is that Bono or the jackass from creed in the video? Its almost comical how bad it is, and I'm suprised they ever let it see the light of day.

    Manchester Orchestra-BRMC-Kings Of Leon

    Just saw this tour they other night in Atlanta. I'm a big fan of all three, but this show far exceeded my expectations. Manchester Orchestra's album is great, and they sound even better live. Great live voice for the lead singer. BRMC- Awesome show great extended versions, and really loud...

    My best friend and brother who is 15 months younger than me (and only 29) passed away on Aug 18 in a car crash. He was a huge U2 fan due to a large part because of me always playing them. He saw several shows with me. As I have thought about lots of memories and different things, it strange...

    QOTSA- Era Vulgaris

    Anyone heard it? What do you think? I've listened to it about 5 times. Not their best, but better than Lullabies, and about on par with Songs for The Deaf. (Still Below the debut, and rated r) My favorites are 'Turnin on the Screw' kind of a fun song, but still rocks. Misfit Love -...

    Thanks to U2+ Thoughts of Vertigo '05

    (Disclaimer- I was simply trying to put down into words what seeing this band 23 times over the last 13 years has meant and why this tour was so special. This is rambling and not as cohesive as I would like- but I am not a writer. Words cannot really describe fully my thought on this anyway )...

    Bono has met his match...

    For the worst dancer. Gavin Rossdale blows Bono away for the worst dancer. This guy was so entertaining to watch b/c i have never seen anyone look so awkward on stage in my life. Poor guy, you think his wife would help him out, and give him a few pointers.
