I can't see a situation where the band sued them, but I can see a situation where the site finally got on the radar of someone like Rolling Stone, who decided to go after them for copyright infringement. Again, just speculation.
Though it was weird that just four years after having such an epic...
I was thinking about this for some reason recently.
The Joshua Tree tour made the band some money (approx $5M), but they reinvested it all in R&H.
No clue how LoveTown did, but it wasn't stadiums and was really meant to just be a continuation of the JT tour. While it undoubtedly made money...
I realize that it might not do well to speak ill of other websites, though that's not what this response is intended to do at all -- but I often wondered how @U2 got away with having all that copyrighted material on the site (transcriptions of old articles, etc). I loved that stuff, but I...

You mean like the 2005 lottery system run by the band to gain access to the ellipsis? The system was specifically designed by the band to avoid what happened on the Elevation tour, where the same 20 fans showed up at every show. While it annoyed some people, I think most people got it. It was...
The Rose Bowl in 2009 was just stupid. People tried to do it overnight and the numbers weren’t honored the next day, people started separate lines — it was just dumb.
I’ve been lining up since 2001. You show up day-of, get your number, and sit. Worked fine 2x on Elevation, 2x on Vertigo, and...
Technically, "development hell" is a phrase usually reserved for projects that never make it out of the script stage. "Waiting for the Miracle to Come" was actually filmed (a friend was in it); it seems however to be suffering the fate of a lot of independent films that get made but never...
I'm trying to figure out where he -- or I, or anyone on this thread -- referred to teeny bopper music as terrible or less valuable. No one did. (Dad to a teeny-bopper girl and two more in training, BTW, so I'm very much aware they're human.)
In the context of his own interview he's talking...
