Better now, but all day I could log in and see my cp, but navigating to a thread automatically logged me out. That was annoying.

We didn't have cable when I was in high school, and my parents had barred me from watching MTV anyway.
(My grandma let me watch MTV at her house.)
lol me too! I used to ask my Grandma to tape various MTV/VH1 shows about U2 or my other favorite artists, including Popmart Mexico City. My parents were way behind in the technology department. I was the last kid in school to have the internet. Ah, the 90s.

Wait, it's a HASHTAG now?
I graduated in 2002. Without internet OR cable in the house. My mom chose to get both the following year --- when I was living at my gram's bc it was closer to my university branch.
(Gram refused to let me get any sort of internet even though I was paying; I had my first cell phone by then, and oh, yeah, Gram had basic cable. But by then MTV was on a fast road to hell.)

Oooo, MTV stories! My grandad had one of those twenty foot wide satellite dishes and when he was in Florida for the winter we'd walk to his house and watch MTV at night. I remember seeing this one live.U2 accepting award in dressing room...ALE - YouTube That was a pretty stellar year for music.

I feel like the last remnant of music videos on MTV was TRL, that's what I remember watching, VH1 had blocks of music videos on for awhile after that until they turned into the housewife version of MTV's latter day programming.

Wait a second... were you responsible for a certain short-term poster last who had quite a lot of trouble with grammar and spelling? That would explain some things.
and yes I'm old.

I used to go to friends' houses for TRL. Back in my BSB days, oh that was glorious....
(That was also when I despised U2 and Bono in particular. My adolescence was a very....interesting time. LOL)VH1 still shows video blocks during the weekday mornings. From like 6am-10am I think. Discovered that back when Lil'Miss was born. I am hoping (but not expecting) to see Invisible get some airplay at some point.
I'm way out of the loop on video airplay these days though (besides YouTube obviously). Can you still request videos? I know Vh1 used to do a Top 20 weekly countdown...if they do, us Americans oughta bombard that thing and MAKE them play U2!
For some reason I was thinking same thing!

It all went downhill about 10 years ago when they jumped aboard the reality TV train. My realization that all heck broke loose was when they were airing a 'The Surreal Life' marathon.

Honestly, I haven't watched VH1 for the purpose of watching music videos in who knows how long. Perhaps YouTube has already taken all the traffic for that demand and then some?

I remember seeing the video on MTV but not the world premier. My only really specific TV memory from that era was them accepting the AOTY Grammy.

I remember being deliciously scandalized the first time I realized you can spot a nipple in the video.

Why wait around for some vapid cable network to play a video when it's instantly available in 1080p?

For the same reason I still listen to the radio: It's fun to not know what's coming next.
My very first knowledge of the existence of U2, and the beginning of my fandom (sorta), was them performing "Beautiful Day" on TRL. Caught that live, didn't know who they were, didn't like the song, but thought they were pretty cool. The rest, as they say, is history.

So do you like BD now? I wasn't a big fan of of BD when I heard it but it has grown on me over the years and now its my wake up alarm every morning lol.

Do we know yet, definitively, whether Ordinary Love is on the album or not? I hope not, since if we hear two songs in advance it will kind of dilute the impact of the album.

I can't remember who said it...may have been Dave Fanning, but it was said that Ordinary Love would be on the album but sound much different than the soundtrack version. That was back in November though.

I've come around to it. The proliferation of the song on MTV did me no favors, at the time. It was just the huge deal that everyone was making about U2 being "back" that got me so curious. I had never even heard of them, so, the second single comes out, I'm impressed, plus I've come to sorta tolerate hearing "Beatiful Day" 10 times a day, so I decide to check out more stuff. I was addicted to the internet, by this point, so I knew what to listen to, check out. My mom bought me ATYCLB and Best of 1980-90, I'm no longer sure which, first. She told me she was a big fan of the band, back in the day, and she and I share a lot of music taste, so I figured I'd enjoy them. I did.

Wow...really? That's kind of a weird move, they haven't done that with any of their other soundtrack songs...

I hope OL isn't on the album. I'm sure we all want to hear new songs.

I can imagine any alternate version of OL would be tacked on the end as a bonus track, bit like NLOTH2?

Me too. If anything, it could be on it as bonus track, but even in that case I'd prefer something completely new.
