gonna upload HD version from the live stream in a bit, most of the ones i've seen on youtube are a little low on the quality end
I loved AMAAW......finally...got to hear this.
I laughed out loud at the black people comment. I'm black. It was funny.....
Gosh I love these guys.
Again, most of it I took as usual self-effacing ramble, but the dig at Jimmy Iovine over NLOTH was wholly unprofessional and crass in my opinion. And I'm a huge apologist.
I don't want to get involved in heavy psycho-analysis of Bono, but honestly, he seemed a little off through the whole performance to me.
Yeah, I think I agree. There was something just kind of weird about the whole thing. "Off" sounds about right, for whatever reason.
About Bono's comments/jokes, I thought he seemed a little tired and cranky when he was talking about hits. If he had just come from Ireland, he would've had some serious jet lag. Either that, or he was a little drunk. But if that were the case, he probably would have fallen off of that narrow catwalk they had there.
I don't think he was drunk, but cranky, yes, definitely. I was surprised about how serious he seemed the whole time, not much laughter. Don't get me wrong, he was very good and showed a lot of passion, seemed to be very much into the performance, but he also looked a bit too serious for my liking. I hope he isn't in pain or anything because that's how it came across to me. Maybe he just had a bad day and someone got on his nerves or something. His "hits" comments, the NLOTH reference and the "dig" at Jimmy Iovine, which I do not undertand at all, kind of sounded really bitter, not very ironic. He might have had a bad day personally, but his performance was really good.
Is that song the origin of the name Little Brothr?
Indeed. That may very well be the case.hand0lotion said:"My heart is where it's always been

Poor guy. I guess the creative inner turmoil of mapping out their next era is weighing heavy on him
I'm not sure about recording, but that's the guitar (I forget what it used) that Edge played One on throughout ZooTV and PopMart. He switched to a Les Paul at the beginning of Elevation, when (probable correlation?) One was played next to Walk On, which needed a Les Paul. The Les Paul stayed in Vertigo, often a Music Rising Les Paul. On 360, if my memory serves me right, Edge played One on the original guitar for a little while and then switched back to the Les Paul, for whatever reason.nickoslo said:what kind of guitar has edge got on one?
if i recall isnt this original gitar one was recorded with..
on 360 he used other im sure

funny u should say that because i thought he was in better spirits then usual and very funny, poking fun at the 'non hits' and the bits about the string section girls and edge and his 'beats'
Who the fuck complains this much about stage banter?
Indeed. That may very well be the case.

Also, is there any background we should know about the Iovine comments? I'm a little lost.
Regarding the Iovine comment, none of us knows what's going on there. For all we know, being in LA, they had lunch with Iovine and he spent the whole time telling them how the next album needs a lot of hits. That said, the Hollywood Bowl is not the place to air out any issues they might have.
