Believe me, I feel your pain. Been following U2 since Boy, but only joined this website recently because I've found most fan sites for bands either ridiculously stupid or filled with so much infighting that it makes me want to vomit. For the most part, this site seems populated with fairly cool...

For me, it has mostly been the whole CD, but when I get to OOTS, I will repeat it until I'm satiatied. I just love the "Everywhere you go you shout it You don’t have to be shy about it" There is just SO much emotion in that first line "Everywhere you gooooo you shout it" and the "Come on...

I don't want to pull out the "I've been a fan since" thing, but as awesome as AB is, JT is U2's defining recording and always will be. People seem to forget that U2 appeared on the cover of Time and Newsweek magazines on the same week after JT was released, both are not music mags. JT changed...

The Last DJ In a few years, Satellite Radio will own regular radio. The only regular radio I consistently listen to is Jim Ladd. In Los Angeles, he is on KLOS 95.5 from 10PM until 2AM and he runs what you used to hear when FM radio first came around, (yeah, I'm getting up there, 41 on...

Using your argument about the definition of "Classic" and "U2", I think while One achieved "Classic" status and crossed over big time with the mainstream, WOWY is U2's signature song. The argument would probably come about what song came after in U2's classic status. Maybe it would go like...

For me, who thinks JT is at least in the top 15 All-Time (if not Top 10) for Rock and Roll albums, and AB is in the top 25-30, I am putting, right now, HTDAAB at #2 behind JT in U2's all-time catalog. They go like this for me: 1. Joshua Tree 2. Atomic Bomb 3. Achtung Baby 4. War/Boy (tied) 5...

October 1. November 28, 1981: Los Angeles, CA @ Hollywood Palladium (met U2 outside after the concert) 2. March 27, 1982: Los Angeles, CA @ Sports Arena War 3. May 30, 1983: Devore, CA @ Glen Helen Regional Park (US Festival) 4. June 17, 1983: Los Angeles, CA @ Sports Arena Unforgettable...

I wrote a pretty comprehensive review a few pages back but I just wanted to add one thing now that I've had a chance to listen to HTDAAB 3-4 times a day everyday since. This recording has now moved past AB into second place all-time behind only JT for me. This is just a stunning album. A...

You can quote me if you feel the need... The first couple of times I listened to the album, I liked it but it wasn't until I sat down and put on the headphones that I really began to hear and understand the pure majesty and beauty of it. Of course, Vertigo is U2's greeting to us and the world...

A bit OT but: I saw The Unforgettable Fire Tour a few times and the JT tour quite a few times and TUF was still played then and it was easily one of the highlights of the show. In fact for the UF tour, I'd have to say that the best songs live were TUF and Bad. TUF was the shocker though. I...

I have a few questions/observations about the video. Supposedly Bono was almost struck by lightning during the filming of the video. How? Never looked stormy to me? I'm assuming the black fuzzy lines are supposed to be atom bomb effects similiar to what you see in the old '50's test bomb...

Haven't been here in a few days cause I've been sick, but I'm much better now. I'm a 909'er. Thanks to you all for the warm greetings, this is such a friendly place I'm really blown away. As for the length of being a U2 fan, sometimes I can't believe that so many years have passed away since I...

I do think that it is a commentary on how insane the world is. I don't think it is about US hegemony, but I know someone who thinks that it is. Personally, I think it's hard to figure out what the lyrics are about without seeing the lyrics from the rest of the CD.

Actually, I quite agree with you. I just found the James 1: 2, 3, 14 thing interesting. I think that Vertigo is a great song that says hey, we're back...HELLO? Remember us? If it's anything, I think it's a commentary on how insane the world is right now, (if you look in the dictionary, one of...

When I think of Epic and U2, there are two songs that come to mind. The first has to be described. I saw U2 three times on the Joshua Tree Tour. The Second time I saw them was at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on November 18, 1987. Some 80,000 of us filled the stadium that day and I had won...

Thanks for all the Greetings! And Hi to you All! Yeah, I've been crazy for their music for a long, long time and I'm also glad I've found this place too. I've been to the main page many times but never visited the forums for some reason. One thing I've noticed here is the Atomic Bomb Mania...

I don't believe in death row Skid row or the gangs Don't believe in the Uzi It just went off in my hand - God Part II Am I buggin' you? I don't mean to bug ya... - Silver And Gold (spoken) She runs through the streets With her eyes painted red...

I don't know which version of the Bible you took that quote from, but the King James Version has a slightly different take on the translation and it changes and strengthens the temptation theme. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the...

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm from Southern California, place east of LA called the Inland Empire. Been a fan of U2 forever and a day, or actually since a local college radio station played Out of Control off of the u2-3 mini-album. I waited impatiently for Boy to come out and then...
