You gotta read this story at atu2.com. They've been doing extensive research on the band's early shows, and their efforts turned up a tape of an Aug 1979 Dandelion Market show! @U2

I'm wondering if anyone has the deluxe versions of the Boy, October, War, The Unforgettable Fire, and Achtung Baby reissues, which have the expanded liner notes and essays in the long booklets or hardcover books (from the likes of Edge, Lanois, Flanagan, etc). If so, could you take pictures of...

Does anyone have a copy of this that they could share?

Just thought with the Super Bowl this weekend and this being the 15th anniversary of the performance, today would be a good day to revisit it. I watched it a few weeks ago and it still made me emotional. Here's a Yahoo story on how things came together: How U2's masterful New Orleans...

"Where the Streets Have No Name" in trailer to movie "MacFarland, USA" Just saw this on NBC. Skip to 1:10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74eJaVQFybI

Every U2 Song, Ranked « Radio.com Just to summarize: the author of this list has placed "I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" and "Raised by Wolves" in the top 30, ahead of "Gloria", "Angel of Harlem", "Out of Control", "Beautiful Day", "Mysterious Ways", "Ultraviolet", "Love is...

So, I was under the impression that the true inspiration behind "Bad" had never been revealed before, other than that it was about heroin addiction in Dublin. Then before the band's performance of the band in Pittsburgh this week, Bono introduced it as a song written for a "very special man...

Leading up to the release of the DVD, the pictures in the packaging were available as wallpaper-sized images. I had one in particular as my desktop wallpaper, but I need to find that image again, since my PC crashed and I'm working on a new hard drive. I'm looking specifically for a large...

I found this quote from a 1987 interview with the Orange County Register to be pretty funny, in hindsight. I personally think Achtung Baby is the band's best (which would technically make him correct in my book)... but I found it to be a very interesting quotation. Is he right? Wrong?

Might be a silly request, but I'm hoping to get some help on the Wikipedia article for Achtung Baby. Achtung Baby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I've nominated it as a "Featured Article" and it is going through a review process right now. Most of the concerns are regarding sourcing (e.g...

Going over some old reviews of Achtung Baby, I happened upon this image from the Austin Chronicle's review of the album: Anyone know where this came from? Did the band do an about-face on the cover after revealing it, sorta like they did with NLOTH to some degree?

I have to say, the more I read about the recording sessions for Achtung Baby and where some of the material came from, the more I'd love to see a documentary about the album's creation. I'm just fascinated with all the different factors that gave birth to the album and its sound. I have to think...

Does anyone have a link to the video that used to be freely available on U2.com, in which Brian Eno is interviewed for like 5-6 minutes just about "Moment of Surrender"?

I occasionally get these emails from my manager to read articles at this website called "Giant Impact" which has lessons on leadership. One of them recently took lessons from U2 to explore some possible applications in being an effective leader. Thought I would share it here: U2: Together at...

Where did "One" actually originate from? "Mysterious Ways" or "Ultraviolet"? In U2 by U2, it says that the song came from chord progressions that Edge was playing for the bridge of "Ultraviolet", but I've read in just as many places that the song was actually "Mysterious Ways". Does anyone have...

At the concert today, I was walking by, not paying much attention to things, when I heard a song that caught my ear. It started out with a hard guitar riff, kind of like Foo Fighters' "DOA", and then after a few seconds, what sounded like The Edge's signature ringing guitar joined in. I was...

Going through a bunch of live performances of songs on my iPod, something is really annoying me. Can someone take Bono aside and tell him he needs to retire this little phrase of his from live performances? :|

We've seen polls for favorite songs and albums, but I haven't seen anything for actually ranking all of the band's concert films to date. How would you guys rank these concerts? Which is your favorite? Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky (1984) Rattle and Hum (1988) Zoo TV: Live from...

By "laundry list" lyrics, I mean the lyrics he throws together by simpling listing things. For example: -New York: Irish, Italian, Jews, and Hispanics, religious nuts, political fanatics... -Peace on Earth: Sean and Julian, Gareth, Ann, and Breda -Seconds: USSR, DDR, London, New York, Peking...

Specifically, the articles on the Elevation Tour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevation_Tour) and the Vertigo Tour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertigo_Tour). The former has no live photos while the latter has 2 rather poor ones. So this is a call to fans who have taken photos at live shows...

Who is on the vocals for the lyrics "Tell tell, me... what do you see? Tell me, tell me...." in When I Look at the World? I know Bono joins does last line, but I can't for the life of me tell whose singing the previous 3.

So, as I'm sure we all know, the Edge wears his trademark skullcap because he wants to hide his receding hairline. And he's wore a variety of hats in his time with the band. But for how long has his hairline been receding? Around 1986, 1987, the Joshua Tree era, he started wearing a cowboy hat...

All you have to do is pick an album or song by the band, and then royally screw with the title. Make it an opposite, throw in some synonyms/antonyms, or make a nonsensical reference. ie: -Under a Blood Red Click Wheel -Stuck in Some Quicksand You Can't Get Out of -City of Pitch Darkness -The...

Does anyone here have a U2 ringer on their phone? And after I get a Bluetooth adapter for Christmas, which song (and what part of the song) should I make a ringer for my phone? (My phone can play MP3's, if that matters).

Anybody know the name of/have the stencil font that U2 has used recently (ie: merchandise, the U2.Communicator CD-ROM, parts of their website)? I know Clarendon is the one from their album/singles covers, but I would like to have the other font as well for graphics purposes. Thanks. :)
