I'd love to hear Crumbs live
The one I go to the most is AB, but I totally get what you are saying. That album is full of jems, IMO!

You both have said it perfectly. His current look amazing. It leaves me speechless actually.
I still can't believe I heard A Man and a Woman live. That was surreal when they started it up.
Okay - I said I was done... but I just bought ANOTHER pair of tickets for Coldplay for a friend who's "stuck" in church right now - LOL!

I saw crumbs live! Actually, Kramwest and I were at the same concert in Minny when they played this. Although we didn't know each other then, we have talked about how excited we were when they first started playing it, because the majority of the crowd had no idea what it was! It was the tour premiere. Who would have thought!
Comet, the fact that you got to see "A Man and a Woman" live is wonderful. They did such a great job with that!!
But there are few things to discuss on a U2 forum more interesting than Bono's hair!
Yes it was Vertigo Bono that pulled me in, but not because of U2. I know it's really weird but I got into the whole U2 fandom thing backwards. I started noticing and following Bono's charity and political work in 2005, ok and also his sexiness and general charisma. I remember buying magazines and reading interviews and stuff just for him, and not even recognizing many of the song names that would get mentioned if they weren't "hits" which were the only U2 songs I knew. And I also wasn't even interested in them just him and what he was doing outside U2. But with the new album it made it hard not to get caught up in his darn band so I did go out and buy Bomb, and from there I fell fast and hard. I know I went about the whole U2 fandom thing totally backwards. Oh well. But anyway, yes, that's why I'll always have a spot in my for Vertigo Bono, he finally caught my eye. I think current Bono will always be my #1 though. (And I the shorter hair.)
In my case to be quite honest I don't know how 04/05 U2 got my attention. I've known about U2 (Bono) since ATYCLB, but Vertigo came and did it for me. I just kept hearing Vertigo on the radio and I loved it and eventually learned the lyrics to it and somewhere I think I saw the Apple advertisement and from then on I was hooked and I went out and bought the album that December.
That's my story.
I think Blue is a nice name.Beyonce and Jay Z named their kid Blue Ivy....everyone on the yahoo news links are freaking out about the name Blue. Guess they've never heard of Edge's kid's name before.
Blue Ivy sounds like she should be a villain in a superhero movie.
Ivy Blue would have been a better choice.

Yeah, tell your story. They all end very awesomely I might add.
They all end with spending more money than is socially acceptable on tickets, travel, hotel and merchandise.

Oh, and it's Sunday afternoon, I've got the house to myself. I'm cleaning out my closet/drawers like a motherf*cking adult.

Vertigo era U2 had magical powers.
The Original of the Species ipod ad used to come on TV and the world would stand still for 30 seconds. I was so smitten. I'm also a total dork, but I feel I can admit those types of things in here with you guys.
I've never seen them live.
It's definitely an idea.Next tour
I was kind of aware of them in the mid 80s thanks to the hits off War, but it wasn't until my cousin bought me The Unforgettable Fire on cassette for Christmas one year that I really started to pay attention.
When Rattle and Hum came out (I was in high school), that was it. Obsession hit strong, and it was all over for me. Saw them once on Zoo TV and once on Popmart (both in Madison, WI), but then not again until Vertigo, when I made up for missing Elevation by seeing them six times.

I remember I saw the Crazy Blackberry commercial at the movie theatre one time. I actually yelled out "Bono!!" and a few people in front of me turned around and gave me a weird look

I remember saying this probably somewhere in EYKIW once before, but for some reason HTDAAB is sort of my "home" U2 album. If I don't know what music I want to listen to (whether it be U2 or not) or just need comfort over something, that's the album that I turn to. It's my chicken soup.
my obsession EXPLODED like Aqua Net tossed into a fire.
Lately my iPod keeps playing the 1983 live version of An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart
