Is the CD the regular version or deluxe edition?

It’s too hard to pick 11 but I would love a deluxe vinyl edition for next April’s Record Store Day. Side One: 1. Love Is All We Have Left 2. The Crystal Ballroom 3. This Is Where You Can Reach Me 4. The Miracle Of Joey Ramone Side Two: 1. Cedarwood Road 2. Iris (Hold Me Now) 3. Raised By...

Re: Joshua Tree Tour I don't really post on the forum even though I visit everyday but I have to give my 2 cents after reading this thread. I have no issue with U2 doing this tour if it is a way to build momentum and keep working until the new album is released this Fall. I am going to see...

2 tickets? If they are playing multiple dates in cities, the chances of getting tickets during the general sale will be slim to none. I tried buying Foo Fighters tickets earlier this week and they sold out within 10 seconds. Obvious a lot of scalpers are using bot programs and getting all the...

If U2 are pushing the album to 2015, I think they should do what Bruce Springsteen did in 1999/2000 and just go back on the road, find themselves, road test new material and then hit the studio. They need to find new inspiration and the road may be the place to do it. Bruce Springsteen in the...

Re: Achtung Baby box set Bought the Super Deluxe Edition at HMV Toronto this morning. It is $124.99 at HMV. Sunrise has it at $129.99. Both stores did not receive the Uber Deluxe Edition. They indicated they may receive it within 2 weeks but are not sure. HMV has the uber edition listed at...

OK - thanks guys for your help. Its too bad a tracklisting was not discussed by the band publicly as it would be interesting to see what they ended up rejecting in favor of going back into the studio and re-working the album. The one track I think shouldn't have been touched was Xanax and...

Sorry if I have missed this discussion in the past but have U2 or Chris Thomas ever discussed the exact track listing and songs they were initially being considered for How To Dismantle in 2003 before Steve Lillywhite became involved. I have been enjoying Native Son, Xanax and Wine etc. and...

The tracklisting has been removed from the Universal website. Maybe they jumped the gun posting it or it was a technical glitch when I accessed the website this morning. I'm just hoping they re-think having 2 discs of remixes. Was Satellite of Love on any of the discs??

Was at the Toronto show last night. I thought Interpol did a great job. I am not too familiar with them but they played well and had some catchy tunes. I want to check out their new album after hearing them. Yes they didn't say too much between songs and they didn't go out of their way to...

Hey Everyone. Weather reports are calling for rain tonight in Toronto (60% chance for thundershowers). I'm assuming Rogers Centre will want to keep the roof closed but you never know. Anyone know what's happening tonight? Did anyone drive by Rogers Centre on their way to work this morning...

There's no doubt U2 has reached its peak both in the studio and live. U2 keeps bragging about the attendance records they are breaking on this tour but the only statistics that stick out is the limited amount of shows they are playing and the large gaps between legs. Maybe they are calling it...

Re:Inxs & U2 I read the same book (authorized autobiography by INXS) when it came out a few years ago and as a fan of both bands, it did seem like sour grapes from the INXS camp. INXS became superstars in 1987 but poor decisions made by the band and their management killed the group in the...

Will the Roof Be Open for Toronto Gig? Hi Everyone: Just curious if the Rogers Centre roof will be open for the U2 shows next week? Does the claw even fit in the stadium with the roof closed? I believe Bruce Springsteen's show in 2003 was the only rock concert at Rogers Centre with the roof...

I'm a fan of both Depeche Mode and U2. I'm a little frustrated and disappointed comparing both box sets together. Sounds of the Universe is available in a 4 disc box set (the album, outtakes + remixes disc, demos disc and dvd that includes multiple documentaries, videos and the album in 5.1)...
