Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
I think it is possible to have a peak of interest in a band. My peak was from JT-AB period. Doesnt mean i like em any less now, just, for me, that period to be a u2 fan was untouchable for its special-ness......and i dont think that ferver will ever be recaptured. I am a different person now.
I think maybe...its an age related thing too. Back then, nobody could say a bad word about u2 without me leaping to their defense. Since i have grown up, i have mellowed and realised musics place in the grand scheme of things. U2 always have been, and always will be my No 1, they just dont dominate my life as once they did
I feel the same, between 1987-97 I was as an avid, perhaps rabid U2 fan as you could get, I wouldn't let anyone say a bad word about U2, but times change. ATYCLB and especially Bomb were a major disappointment, the first times I had experienced this with U2, and on top of that I was getting older and couldn't dedicate enough time to U2, so maybe that's why their songs don't speak to me as much as they did.
That said, I still love U2, they're my fave band ever and always will be, NLOTH is a top, top album.
