Just heard Jonathon Ross say that Bono and the Edge will be on next weeks show, 17th July.

Yeah a while back I remember seeing a video of "Slow Dancing" in the studio with Willie Nelson from the Pop era sessions and now I can't find it. It was a great video with Bono saying something at the start about Willie Nelson just coming in and it being a real special moment. I'm sure it was on...

Anyone noticed the poor mixing on the Milan DVD. Bono's vocals are coming out of the left and right speakers and there is hardly any sound coming out of the centre speakers. I'm talking about the Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. The Chicago dvd was mixed with Bono's vocals mainly coming from the centre...

Been reading reports that the sales of the new compilation are getting trounced by 'mega group' Westlife in the Uk charts. Maybe this will remind U2 that their hard core fans that have bought everything in the past can only take so many compilations of the same songs in their collections. I read...

Anyone noticed how different the drums are on the Chicago live recording of the Fly and The Zoo TV version. The drums on the original live version sound way better than the latter version. Is this because of Larrys back problems that they completely change the drums. I know that the drum sound...

8 million pound apparently, that he's splashing out on a new yacht. 3 bars and 6 staff. Nice to know that the new/old compilation album is funding something useful for the old chap. And he's mooring it off the coast of Africa........ and why not!:wink:

...like media mogul and complete tw#t Rupert Murdoch. While your there Bono can you ask the Aussie bast#rd if the English can watch there OWN Cricket team on national tv and not have to pay subscription money to an Aussie's shite tv company. Oh how the mighty have fallen!:wink:

I have just watched the Mary J Bilge collaboration video and I am totally bemused as to what I was watching. This was a live recording if I understand right and yet U2 and Bilge have gone to the trouble of actually recording a special mimed video. Are U2 this desperate to have chart success that...

The Best Selling Artists of the 2000's in the UK, U2 were at number 18. They came out with the usual crap about Pop being their worst album and they had to get back to the 80's sound for ATYCLB, so they brought back Lilywhite to get them that hit single. That is exactly what they said and...

Has he got no money to buy some true ROCK boots for gods sake. Every program I have seen him on the past year he has worn them baseball shoes that look about 25 years old! Damn, with Bono's syrup and Edges baseball shoes the guys have certainly lost the way to look!:wink:

Just to say that I still think, one year after hearing Original Of The Species that this song IS a great song. Have to say that I really still love listening to this song and despite my negative responses to the last 2 albums I have to admit that Original is probably the best song they have done...

And probably would have been one of their 10 best if they had finished it. Even in its unfinished and raw state its U2 at their finest and Edge has never sounded better than in this period of U2's career, his guitar sound has everything from this era, reminds me of Hendrix. I love this song, and...

Have a "Beautiful" Day gone straight in at number 2 in the album charts. At first listening kinda of a continuation of the theme and sound of the last 2 albums but Bono(jovi) sounds great still, don't he! :wink:

If a story is to be believed that was printed in The Sun today. Apparently U2 were desperate to do a cameo in Coronation Street (for anyone from the USA its a crap soap programme in the UK that mainly old people watch) but Coronation Street turned them down. They have Staus Quo appearing in an...

Just got there album after seeing them at Glastonbury & T-in-the Park and its pretty good. Its got a kinda Radiohead/Prodigy mix thing going on there. Kinda reminds me of Mofo/Pop era U2. Anyone else like this stuff?

This is a question for the people who agree with Lilyshites quote that "U2 are better songwriters now than they have ever been". Is there any songs off the past 2 albums that are better than - The Fly, One, Where the Streets, With Or Without You, Bullet The Blue Sky, Zoo Station....to name just...

No matter what you say 90% of the acts/bands at Live 8 used the event for their own ends to get in the public eye, relauch their careers, sell more records. Which do you think were the main ones to do this. The main ones for me that definetly did this were Mariah Carey, Madonna, Robbie Williams...

Anybody watching? What is it with The White Stripes, 2 of them and they are fuckin shite. All the drummer does is the same beat quicker or slower or quicker or slower, its crap! Also the guitarist, Jack White, I heard a quote from somebody said he was better than Hendrix, well I was watching on...

Did anyone see the Live Aid documentary saturday night BBC2? There was a bit that said Bono was cornered by Freddie Mercury and Bono was there saying at the time he was surprised how camp Freddie was. I thought it was pretty funny.:wink:

Coldplay are number 1 in 28 countries, and their album sold 470,000 copies in it's first week in the UK which is the 3rd fastest selling album of all time. I myself think the album deserves to be this successful but I know a lot of people using this forum have said they are massively overrated...

I don't understand the thought behind opening and closing the current tour with the same song. I mean its not as if U2 only have 2 albums to choose from and have to play the same song twice. Just seems a waste of time to play the same song twice. Do they do a banjo version at the end or...

Anyone see what the girl presenter said when introducing U2 on CDUK today. It goes something like "Here is band who are toying with the idea of re-recording their 1997 album Pop cos they rushed it a bit inthe first place"... Now I know that rumours have been surfacing on here and other U2 sites...

I just checked on Ebay and tickets for the U2 shows in the UK are selling for under £50 for 2......YES 2......jesus and I paid £55 for 1 ticket.

Coldplay's Fix You is a great song, anyone else heard this song, how it changes half way through and then has that beautiful playout. Superb......haven't really given the album time to grow yet but there sounds to be some good stuff on there and Fix You is probably the best song I have heard as...
