I was exposed to U2 growing up at various stages... my brother had the best of 1980-1990 but I never really listened to it. It all really began with Beautiful Day... it really hit me over the head... but being all of 12 I just got the single. Then Stuck came out... and I was impressed (shoot...

Funny you should mention that... this year's winner of Australian Idol was actually Irish... he only became an Australian citizen after he won the show. Go figure:huh:

1. I Will Follow vs Gloria vs Sunday Bloody Sunday vs A Sort Of Homecoming vs Where The Streets Have No Name vs Van Diemen's Land vs Zoo Station vs Zooropa vs Discotheque vs Beautiful Day vs Vertigo Winner: Streets- easy. This song is just magical. 2. Twilight vs I Fall Down vs Seconds vs...

Mayer has outright admitted that Curtis Mayfield inspired the song - specifically 'People Get Ready'. I can't find the article now, but so much so that there was talk of legal action over it. Stuck, Waiting on the World to Change and People Get Ready all have similiar chord progressions...

Could not agree more!

I second that... unless I passed out for a minute, it didn't happen AND/OR I am going deaf

WOW - that was incredible!!! I am in shock right now.. cannot write complete sentences... will only agree with everything Axver has said thus far .... WOW!!! Sydney or Melbourne... doesn't really matter. Tonight was... WOW!!!

We showed up at 5am and were about 15th in line... had no trouble getting rail on Edge's side. Some of my other friends didn't show up until after 7am and they were rail on the left b-stage. We were most likely very lucky though (e.g. it was raining the night before, the venue is relatively...

Well, when Dallas was soundchecking he did play the riff from it. He also played desire. Other than that he pretty much just played the set straight through

That was by far the best night of my life!!! Let me preface this by saying this is my first U2 show I may be overly enthusiastic! I rocked up at 5am (was going to get there earlier but I slept through my alarm) and I was (surprisingly) about 15th in line. The GA line was fun... it was hot, but...

You were not alone there... I would've given you a run for your money :wink:

Brisbane Rehearsals :), Brisbane, Sydney 2 and 3, Melbourne 1 and 2, Auckland 1 and 2... all GA except Auckland 1 (B Reserve). Staying at some motor Inn near the stadium for Sydney, a YHA hostel in Melbourne (Oasis I think?), and I literally have no idea where I'm staying in Auckland (I'm...

Wow that is a really beautiful story... hope you enjoy coming down from that experience only to realise you'll be up in the air again in less than 48 hours!!!

Oh i forgot the mention bono was singing some Please ---> Streets/ Miss Sarajevo Opera (Kinda) Style melody at the start of Kite the first few times --- I know that doesn't really explain much but yeah it was bloody excellent .... Oh, and there was a few times during the set when edge would...

If it is possible to die from too much excitement, I'm pretty sure I'd be dead by now. Great that your DIL got to meet them/ take photos! Anyway, now that I've calmed down I thought I'd finish my story. BTW, before I go on I'd like to say that the 10 or so fans who I waited around with were...

I'll summarise.... Okay, waited around from about 5pm... left and came back at 7:30pm (long story) Basically, scotty from security talked to us for about two hours... told more about GA arrangments and other stuff which i'll share later. Anyway, at about 10:30 Bono came bouncing out.... He...

I JUST MET BONO AND EDGE--- OMG.... OMG WOAH

Apart from anything that happens on Sautrday afternoon (I'll be at an exam), I should be able to tape anything that happens. Not sure how it'll work out but I'll give it a a shot.

I'll probably be there around that time with one of my mates... will probably see you there.

Except Mel Gibson of course: On Million Dollar Hotel: "More boring than a dog's arse"

Just got back from ANZ: the security at night is relatively tight. Was there tonight trying to take photos and got told that we couldn't take photos, this is closed area etc. (The guy was actually the perfect mix for a security guard - his manner was right in between "I'll crack your head open"...
