Oritiu2@aol.com I would love it too please.
Von Shtupid? Ok. Ya nailed me. Ya made fun of my screen name. Good work. Ya could have called me Von Poopen, that would'a been funny. I guess. Funnier than Von Shtupid. Seriously? Von Shtupid? Ok .
Also, I didn't use the word "risky" because of you. I used it because of this guy:
If only "Pop" had come out in 1996. Then we could all agree it was a party record.
Think about that.
"Pop" is a party record.
You've never actually listened to "Pop"? Have you?
So while Discotheque may not come off risky in the way that Numb did, its sheer energy and propulsion are what surprised a lot of us. And the album, despite the dark, reflective lyrical content, is a lot more upbeat than its two predecessors for the most part. You just weren't hearing this blend of sounds from other big bands at that point. Had it come out as planned in the fall of '96 we wouldn't be having this discussion.
If it has a piano it sounds like coldplay!
U2 has really something that other bands don't have..... melodies get directly to your brain and don't leave
If somebody thinks that U2 is unique at having melodies that stick in somebody's head, there is every right to be cynical and then some. And the reply was actually only partially cynical - I cannot give any better advice to someone than to listen to more music.
So after evening class tonight when I get home
Btw, which Facebook page?
I'd love to hear it. If there's substantial interest in this, we should start a request thread.
Same here!
I'm assuming it's the official U2 page on Facebook.
Not sure why this thread has turned into a request thread, but song requests are to be posted in the following forum only:
Music on the Internet - U2 Feedback
This thread should be used to discuss your thoughts on the song.
Also, Laz and Von.. please refrain from making personal attacks against each other or telling others to 'fuck off'.
Also as a reminder, linking to a site that has the song available is ok.. i.e. youtube etc. just no posting direct download links.
