Eww, eww, eww! Get it off my iDevice, I didn't ask for this free stuff!!! :angry: But seriously, I just recently got a new Mac mini, so I fired up iTunes and downloaded the new album. Listened to it once so far from front to back. Throughout, I kept thinking, "Wow, that's a neat melody,"...

Man, I would love to be able to play my acoustic guitar like that.

Cool!

That makes sense ... thanks for your insight.

Okay, let's see if I get this right: http://youtu.be/y1dDWBLVwOk?t=21m1s That's one of the three or four uploads of that documentary that people have submitted to YouTube. So in this clip you'll see Larry say that it's not about "figuring it all out," but in the Achtung Baby documentary he...

Yes, that is correct. Dawgie, "A Year in Pop" was a one-hour documentary that was on ABC in 1997 or something like that, when the Popmart tour was underway. You can find it on YouTube.

Hi everyone. Wanted to throw out a question to the community. Something I noticed was two contradicting statements made by Larry Mullen. In the documentary I have on tape when Achtung Baby came out, Larry stated that the band finally sat down and started consciously thinking about what they...

You know, I might just go ahead and do it. Like it's been said, what are the odds of anyone caring ... when I do the recording, I can leave out any mention of the radio station, and maybe all I need to say is that it was off the radio in the Detroit area in the early '90s. Why anyone would...

Okay, thanks for the advice. I'd rather respect the law in a case like this. Although, I did some poking around, and it looks like sites like U2 Interview Archive | Classic U2 audio interviews exist for this purpose. I might convert them for my own listening purposes, just not distribute...

Hi everyone. I honestly didn't know where else to put this. Hope this is an appropriate section. Anyway, I was thinking of converting to MP3 (from cassette) a very old recording I have of an interview with the band that was broadcast on a local rock station in my area that no longer exists...

Thanks for the info everyone. Doh! Why didn't I think of YouTube. Actually I tried looking for some of those songs on Amazon and Xbox Music, but obviously, not much luck. Actually, I think I have the best of 1990 - 2000, so Miss Sarajevo should be on there. That is, I think I have it ...

Heh, yeah, I don't know how to explain it, but to me the instrumentation on Atomic Bomb just sounds more complete, more expressive, a little bit more in-depth. Just my personal take. By the way everyone, can you guys fill me in on some of these other songs that you've mentioned, like The...

Aha, I see I've sparked a little debate here. Yeah, I think one of the ways you could accurately look at the transition from Pop to ATYLCB is like that of a hangover ... the four lads woke up one day and said, "We recorded THAT?" and started yet another re-invention. Hey, I like both albums...

Really enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts here on Bad. For years I think I always liked the Wide Awake version better, but the studio version has been growing on me more and more. I think I like them both for what they are individually, for different reasons. Studio because it's...

Hi everyone. I'm fairly new, just started posting here a little while ago. Anyway, forgive me if this topic has already been addressed, but I just wanted to share the fact that after years of trying to listen to ATYCLB and not really liking it that much, I think I can now say that I love this...

I understand the points you guys are making. I think what I originally meant by "raw and naked" was the emotions it makes me feel and the imagery it produces in my mind. I mean, I really think the trio of Achtung, Zoo, and Pop are much more gut-wrenching and visceral then some of the more...

It didn't take me very many listens to fall in love with NLOTH, and I still feel the same way to this day: Great album.

I have to admit, I do love Pop, but explaining why I like something is very hard for me to do. And let's face it, most of the time, aren't we just looking for validations of our own opinions anyway? But I think I can sum up it pretty succinctly as follows: Pop is "raw, naked, and...

Has anybody mentioned Wire from Unforgettable Fire yet? That strikes me as something that would be really challenging to pull off live. Not sure if Bono could hit some of those notes, though. As some might have already mentioned, I'd welcome an effort by the band to play some more rare...

I suppose feelings for Rattle and Hum are mixed, and I'm fine with that. I think I can even see where some of you are coming from. At the very least, maybe we can say that most U2 fans agree it's an album you need to have in your collection, as long as you are willing to put up with its weak...

I think the reason I gave R&H an "excellent" is because to me it sounds like there's so much emotion in that album, as well as the fact that the band is experimenting with Americana and blues, and stuff like that. Just resonates with me a lot. And as far as GOYB, at least it has that awesome...

I'll have to pick it up eventually. Just the other day I ordered the From the Sky Down DVD, and I'm looking forward to that.

I might as well mention, I don't have Passengers yet, but it's on my to-get list. What can you guys tell me about that?

Heh, I could definitely go into more detail, but I thought as an introduction of myself I'd keep it simple. Thank you all for the welcome. I can add this little bit about the genesis of my being a fan. I don't think I really knew who the heck they were aside from the fact that my older...

Hi everyone. First-time poster here. I've been a big U2 fan since 1985 or so. Anyway, I wanted to do one of those lists where I basically sum up how I feel about each album, in a nutshell, with feedback from the community if you agree/disagree. Here goes: Boy: Great October: Great War...
