Waiting? I've had it since July. Edge plays a 10 minute guitar solo.
I am sure The Edge playing a 10 minute guitar solo won't sound anything like a 10 minute guitar solo.

Let's hope that U2 don't start singing about California.....

Well, a track called 'Los Angles' would complete the 'Songs-Named-After-Major-Cities-In-The-USA-Trilogy'
'Miami'
'New York'
'??????'

2233 said:IWe must respect the fact that U2 has got so far on their own terms. They must reserve the right to do what they feel is right for them. It's their sound and no one should control it. We as fans must be ready to accept the consequences.
Dalton said:Ah ...... No. No, we don't have to respect or accept.

really? you don't think it's possible to think that something sucks, but still respect the process by which it came to your ears?
It's completely dependant on the band. Listen to demo tapes from Skynyrd and compare that to demo tapes from Elvis Costello.2233 said:
Don't be sorry for asking questions. Musicians create song, Producer helps them sound like they want to.

Irvine, I was refering more to the spirit of the original post that implied that this discussion was over because fans 'must accept' what the band does. This place exists because people don't just accept what the band does. We want to talk about it.
However I do think we are kidding ourselves when we say that the band makes music for themselves. If they were making music for themselves they wouldn't go to these great lengths (IPod commercials, endless media junkets, etc.) The fact is that the band IS trying to cater to us. That's their job. Now, I don't think the band is making music just because they think it will sell. I think they make the kind of music that they like that they think will sell.

If that's what you think, what's the point in being an artist and still enjoying your own work? That's what has been happening with U2. Have you seen already that these last years they seem happy about it?

And I can't agree with the "This place exists because people don't just accept what the band does. We want to talk about it." What you said is what some want this forum to turn in. This is not only a place wher you can come and say every piece of shit you want to load. Unfortunatelly, it happens. This was supposed to be not only a place of discussing, of criticizing, of sharing ideas, of presenting solutions and alternatives, but mostly this is a place of celebration. What's wrong with some moderation about bad statements? I think that's not offensive.
@Dalton: great postDalton wrote: Interference is the most heavily moderated board I have ever come across. There are people here who do not like the last two albums that U2 have done and they come here (because they are fans of the band) to discuss their disappointment about something that they care deeply about. Perhaps this offends you. It shouldn't. I don't agree with a lot of what is posted by that group of fans, but I respect their right to have those opinions, just as I have to respect the right to an opinion of the fans on this board that have a mild stroke of joy everytime the band has a gaseous moment. This place DOES exist because people want to discuss U2 and not just accept what they do.

I'm not really sure I understand what you are saying in this post, so I am going out on a limb here, but let me say this: Interference is the most heavily moderated board I have ever come across.

This place DOES exist because people want to discuss U2 and not just accept what they do. I accept what Nick Lachey does. I have no need to discuss it one way or another. I don't care. He exists and I have no opinion. When U2 make a move, I want to discuss it.

But that simply isn't the case for a large number of posters on here like Shaun Vox, Ponkine etc etc... They use this place to indulge their hatred in 00's U2, in fact they get off on it. There is no disappointment, no discussion, just an endless torrent of repetitive abuse.
