    Boston, March 11...location/tickets?

    Anyone know where the gig is going to be? The Paradise, the Garden, House of Blues and the Orpheum are booked for the 11th. What does that leave?....perhaps college arenas, considering the rumor about Fordham in NY...Agganis Arena at BU would work...Or maybe if it's a smaller setting, there's...

    A Sort of Homecoming!

    This song needs to be brought back. I'm not going to do anything drastic like start a petition, but I don't understand how it has (mostly) been ignored by the band since.....1987? If Bono can manage to nail down the lyrics to Breathe (which he probably will have to do), then why would this song...

    U.S. Tour 2009: Speculation, Rumors, and Conjecture

    As the album release date nears, I have several questions to throw out there... 1. When will we see tour dates? Before or after the album release? 2. Will U2 do stadiums in the USA? Arenas? A mixture of both (a la Joshua Tree tour)? I would love to see U2 in a stadium setting, even if my seats...

    Muse's HAARP

    What a badass CD/DVD combo. The DVD doesn't really surpass many of the U2 live videos, but it is still quite badass, most notably their performances of Stockholm Syndrome and Butterflies & Hurricanes.....good stuff

    Dropkick Murphys

    I just got tickets to see these guy on St. Patrick's Day weekend in Lowell, MA (near Boston). This will be my third time seeing them during St. Patrick's Day week and 4th time overall. These guys kick ass, and I hope they play Baba O'Riley like the last time I saw them (awesomeness).

    Desert of Our Love and Rise Up......wow

    For some reason I can't stop listening to these two (no longer) hidden gems. The drums and bass are spectacular, and Bono's lyrics are difficult to decipher, which is a good thing (same reason I like Elvis Presley and America, etc.) Wave of Sorrow is getting a lot of praise (and deservedly so)...

    Roth takes a jab at U2

    from livedaily.com: David Lee Roth, on what the Van Halen reunion shows will be like: "There's a whole lot of change going on, [the songs] are updated, we upgraded," Roth continued of the music. "It's the same way they moved the Mustang into the future, and that's what you expect. You don't...

    Muse to OPEN for My Chemical Romance....I just vomited.

    I really love Muse. I really hate MCR. I won't pay $35 to see Muse play for 45 minutes...especially if MCR follows them...this really sorta sucks. I really wish Muse was bigger in the US, they are amazing.

The event is currently planned to be broadcast “live” from 15 primary host cities with the support of secondary host cities spanning 24 time-and...

    Why Zooropa is genius...

    Ten tracks of brilliance...Achtung gets all the credit, but like at the title track, Numb, and Stay....an incredible album that simpley gets no credit in the 00s.

    Most underrated Police songs

    Well, I think the day will come soon when Sting, Andy and Stewart finally get together and TOUR. With that in mind: Of the songs NOT on any Police best ofs/ greatest hits collections, what is the best Police song out there?... I say Next To You, Omegaman, and Does Everyone Stare, and When The...

    The most Irish sounding U2 songs

    I got to thinking and, well, U2 doesn't really have many songs that scream out "hey, we're Irish, can't ya tell." Here are the few that I think sorta do: Tomorrow Van Diemen's Land Drowning Man (I don't know why, just does it for me) Running To Stand Still North And South of The River Sunday...

    Which Muse album is better...Absolution or Black Holes?

    Too close to call for me...both incredible albums...Black Holes seems a bit more angry with a song like Assassin, yet also has some optimism with Invincible. Knights of Cydonia is ridiculous, heavily influenced by like nine other bands, and yet is still asskicking. On the other hand...

    A Sort of Homecoming

    comment, reflect, on the awesomeness of this song and its lyrics And you hunger for the time, time to heal, desire time And your earth moves beneath Your own dream landscape... The whole song is just brilliant

    WZLX in Boston still saying "more dates on the way"

    I was just listening to WZLX and the DJ (I think it was Carter Alan) mentioned the rescheduled dates and said that more were on the way. He did not mention where they might be, but I really wonder if he has any inside information or is just speculating that a 12 date tour is too little for a...

    Snippet of My Hometown?

    I was looking at some setlists and noticed that My Hometown by Springsteen was listed as a snippet during Electric Co during a 1983 Boston show. However, I have heard this particular version, and all Bono says is "this is my hometown!" right before Edge solos. I'm sorry, but that has NOTHING to...

    World Cup commercials on ESPN

    I was just watching a track meet on ESPN2 and during the hour or so that I watched there were three world cup commercials. They featured Bono talking with COBL, Streets, and I Will Follow (!) in the background. Cool stuff.

    Fill out your bracket....for the greatest leaders in world history!

    As the American NCAA basketball tournament is winding down (and considering that most people's brackets are done due to George Mason), I offer an alternative: My friend at school has invited 64 of the greatest world leaders, past and present, to compete for the title of world's greatest.

    So...who's got the final stats on Vertigo '05?

    I'm just curious to know how many songs were played in full over the first three legs, and how that compares with previous tours. The number of openers (COBL, Vertigo, LAPOE) is pretty solid, though they REALLY should have opened with Zoo Station, just once. For closers, well that's even more...
