Calluses also become your friend the more you play! 😁

It’s good. Picking up Bram’s nuances better than before too. All four of the guys, for that matter.

That outro on Mysterious Ways seemed to run on forever!

Considering the 360 and I&E live offerings with the membership, I wouldn't be surprised if next year's gift is something along those lines. For me, the only question is if and when some sort of official release might be out before then. Suppose that depends on how they want to go about it...

The concert experience is probably the only thing that'd ever attract me to buying one of those devices. Wouldn't come too close to replicating it, obviously, but watching those clips in high quality would probably be pretty great.

Cold water has worked on my end, as well! Truth be told, I didn’t really buy much for clothes mech over the years due to the huge difference in variety/sizes at times. But I’ve tried to make more of an effort in post-pandemic years, due to a few reasons. I’ll usually get a larger shirt and have...

On the flip side, you still got all those songs to listen to at the end of the day anyway… aside from Cedars, which isn’t really an actual “song” in the sense of the word, but that’s just me. I guess the end, I’ll either like the songs or I won’t. If they released a completely different album...

I bought the same one as Headache and Miroslava. I've only worn it a few times since then, but it seems to be holding up okay. I hang dry my shirts for the most part though, so maybe that makes a difference?

I think I heard someone elsewhere say they're doing the face value "resale" option for some of these shows? That's how I was able to get some decent lower levels for one of their arena gigs last year. Might have to keep an eye on TM later in the year, but if you're only looking for one, it might...

The songwriter's translation, based on interviews they've done over the years... If I were to guess, "Unreleased" would probably be a more apt description than just "Demos" and "Ideas." It's possible they have a few songs that are more or less just ideas with Bono toplining or mumbling over a...

That and when you're an adult, you just have different situations. Kids to raise or trips to take or "jobs" outside of the band you were in as a teenager. Certainly nowhere close to the free time you had to just write songs and think about barely anything else. Those situations aren't just...

Ah! Well, yeah, that obviously isn't quite the nicest thing to do then. Yet again, I've never quite seen those extreme of reactions to the impersonators! Most of the time, it seems like they know what's up. Guess that could be the exception!

Yeah, that sounds pretty par for the course too. Any song is going to constantly changed until it's released, for the most part. If you take a break from it, a songwriter is bound to find something on the next listen that needs to be added or lined up with the newer items, and so forth...

From what I gather, that's mostly the case, yeah. I don't really have an issue with it. I've seen it at other shows and people seem to know who these people are. Not much different from when people pose with the cosplayers at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. But if you want a picture to add...

This is it, in a nutshell. Even when us songwriters have an idea in our head, the final result never comes out the way we intended. I also don't have have the luxury of having my NY Times comments overanalyzed to the nth degree by a few hundred people, but alas. :lol: Perspective is key though...

I mean, cassettes are making a comeback now, so...

Not wrong, but again - from a songwriter's perspective, that's basically something all the others go through. "Overtinkering" gets thrown around like it's a bad thing by some people. But the song isn't really finished until it's released and put out there. Every time you come back to a song with...

Agreed. As long as things remain unclear on the Larry front, they're probably not even sure what's coming up or how exactly they're going to go about it. So I can understand the lack of firm timetables or touring/residency situations for awhile yet. That's pretty much par for the course with...

Pretty much the same for me. Just did this with Depeche Mode the other day... bought a very good lower level ticket that came out to $200 total. I would've needed to pay up to double that for anywhere similar on the secondary market, unless I kept a frequent eye out for the StubHub deals. Upper...

My final tab came out to around $1100 for two shows, as well. I just accepted it’d be worth it in the end, and thankfully it was! If more shows work out next year, amen. But I’m happy I was able to get at least two out of them.

The battle with air travel is real, haha. Great pics btw, DeVaul!

They also had trouble with the tape because of a loud hum that was compromising the sound, which the other tracks didn’t have. Eventually they got frustrated with doing more on it and the song was never completed. Per the official announcement, it also sounds like Paul redid the piano part...

Great view there! Definitely grateful for the ones I had at the two shows I attended this month.
