I haven't listened to U2 in months...

[sami0201]

and by that I mean actually play their music on my iPod or on my computer when I'm listening to music.
I just put on Walk On (my favorite song) and teared up. Things have been so shitty for me lately, this song just...wow.

 

[I'm Ready]

Its been a year and a half since I last listened to a U2 album

 

[Sicy]

I think we are all guilty of this from time to time.

I usually go in phases.

 

[Rono]

After i heard that they rebuild the showers at a venue for $10.000 + ,.where they play,..i lost my interest in U2.

 

[bono_man2002]

U2 are even better after a break. I'm half on a U2 break at the moment.

Outside Music =

 

[annie_vox]

It's normal to have a break when the tour is over and there's no new album... and it's healthy! There's a lot of good music out there to check out... But I'm sure that when the new album comes out the U2 passion will come out too again. That's how it works for me...

 

[Night & Day]

Blasphemy.

Then again i have every song, every version of every song, every dvd, vhs tape, cd...etc...so i can't get tired of it.
I listen to something everyday.

Though about 2 years ago, i stopped listening for 2 months, for emotional reasons.
Im better now.

Where have you been

 

[AtomicBono]

Walk On is pretty amazing.

It's probably been a little while since I've listened to U2, like a week maybe. I guess that's not very long I think the last U2 song I listened to was New Year's Day and it was but it's been a lot longer since I've listened to a whole U2 album in full. a few weeks, maybe.

I don't know if I've ever gone months without listening to U2 at all

 

[ylimeU2]

There are always going to be U2 songs that I love, but overall, I really don't think as much of them has I once did. I've spent most of my life obsessed with them, and now I am coming to terms with myself as being just a casual fan, and nothing more.

not listening to U2.

 

[Joha_U2]

gahh.. i haven't listened to U2 in months either... makes me feel a little bad

 

[MrPryck2U]

I take breaks from time to time. But, whenever I start listening to U2 again, I listen all of the time. Taking a break is healthy. A year and a half is way too long.

 

[joerags]

I have listened to U2 every single day since 1985.



I can't help it. I need help.

 

[Utoo]

After thinking of/listening to nothing but U2 for the last couple of years, I'm on a bit of a break, too. It started a couple of months ago when my job got really busy & I didn't have time to check this place out, nor to listen to much music. Then my bro-in-law got me into some other bands for the moment. Then I finally make my way back here and find that there's no U2 news and that Interference itself seems pretty slow at the moment.

Eh, it'll come back.

 

[Joha_U2]

It will all come back when a new album is out

It's only very recently that I voluntarily put on Pop in the car and it sounded, well, good. It's been years since I have probably been able to call myself a fan. I genuinely dislike the last 2 albums, but the Vertigo show and the saints song made me remember there is still something good there. I just dont have to live and breath it. Infact it's easier not to. I'm here out of habit.

 

[MissMaCo]

I agree with Em and Anna. Even when I was deeply in U2, I never considered myself as a huge fan. I wasn't the kind of fan who cuts their photos from the magazines or who learns their dates of birth by heart.
As far as the music is concerned, well, I still like them, but I haven't listened to a U2 cd for ages. But I'm glad to hear them on the radio.

 

[Saracene]

With my musical obsessions, there's always an initial super-intense period when I'm positively absorbed in the band/artist and their music, can barely stop thinking about them, spend insane amount of time on the net greedily absorbing anything to do with them, etc. My family thinks I'm insane because I went to three Vertigo shows last year, but if they knew just how obsessed I was back in 2000 they'd probably be scared for my mental health.

Then of course the obsession inevitably cools down and becomes something much calmer. My "intense" U2 period is way behind me and I can spend weeks or even months without listening to their music at all, but it's still a pleasure to come back to it after a break. And when they played here in Melbourne last year I felt like I was back in 2000 again,

 

[girlhappy]

I have to admit ... I was obsessed before and Vertigo was great disappointment. But, Windows in the sky video(2nd version) pulled out all kind of emotions out of me. I am in tears almost every time i am watching this video. I have almost every picture
And that line .. please dont ever let me out of here....i am in tears now
