…and I think I enjoyed it? I experienced this with HtDAAB at about the 15 year mark as well. The disappointment of this being the culmination of 5 years work for the band was gone. I actually found myself liking little moments. Fills, melodies, sounds. Things that never really captured my...

Hi all, Given the tour is over I thought it best to have this with the other U2 news/releases on topic forum. Discuss the interview and show here. News is both are live and available for streaming to account holders. No news yet on other platforms or less legal means of obtaining…

Welcome back all!

Hi all - almost time to rock and roll! U2songs are live here - https://u2songs.mixlr.com/events/2803130

Howdy all, Couple of sound check spoilers doing the rounds of u2start - when I can get to my laptop I’ll post them in a spoiler. Have fun all those going!

Hi all, I’m dropping links to mp3 files of the sphere shows in the individual setlist part threads. Thought I’d just share a cover art folder I’ll maintain through the run. Nothing flashy, but I tend to not like the art that comes with the bootlegs, and this will at least be consistent. I’m a...

So - what’s it going to be today? Same setlist? A different album featured on the turntable? A re-ordered encore? Only just over an hour until we find out!

Starting a new string of threads following the release of Songs of Surrender. What we know: - Bono, Edge and Adam have mentioned a rock album with unreasonable guitars. - U2songs previously reported it was done, but Larry's injury has caused some back-tracking from the band, who are looking to...

Thread to discuss the documentary - including THAT vocal take for EBW and 40 Foot Man.

Thread to discuss the recently released Songs of Surrender. Post your impressions, links to published reviews, alternate track lists etc here!

Something I’ve always done with other artists is make albums from random songs like non singles and solo projects. I have weirdly never tried it with U2. So I set the task of making an album from all the standalone singles they have promoted as u2 (or u2 with someone), made specifically as a...

Alright - name those new or recent guitar bands you are all into these days. I feel guitar music is on the way back, and there’s some exciting bands on the horizon. My current favs: - The Lathums https://youtu.be/G5pW3u_0uTM - Inhaler https://youtu.be/vsgJasH83as - Holy Holy...

https://www.inhaler.band/ https://youtu.be/VtnEwlMOFbg Can’t believe no one is talking about this on this forum! Debut album announced, launched by the single Cheer Up Baby which is being flogged by BBC and RTE radio, and previous single When It Breaks. Album will also feature new recordings...

Boy 40th anniversary edition on white vinyl. https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/13260 This is probably the laziest thing they’ve ever done for a release. They aren’t even trying anymore. Better ideas for this year’s RSDBF: - Boy live - a celebration of songs from Boy for its 40th...

Anyone else a fan? I am loving a young band driving fans back to guitar driven music. The album is epic, and they seem to just keep getting stronger.

https://www.u2songs.com/news/rumour_u2_to_release_atyclb_box_this_fall Rumour of it being a “similar size and scope” to the JT30 box. Would love an elevation show on vinyl, and as the article mentions, swathed of demos and alternates from the sessions still unreleased. Despite some of the...

Despite some obvious missteps, U2 have some decent acoustic songs, so I’d be interested to know what you all think would be a decent U2 MTV unplugged set. Limit of 15 songs, and at least one cover. Just because. Also, describe the arrangement. For me: The fours band members, plus a small...

Hi all, I haven’t seen any info on here, so I thought I’d call it out. Japan recently showed the second half (Elevation onwards) of the Berlin show prior to the DVD release. There are plans for broadcasts in other places, mainly around new year. U2songs have the info. No sight of a torrent or...

I’ve been thinking with this era now done and dusted, it was worth looking back at the best bits of the period that started with the release of Ordinary Love. I’d love to hear the main highlights of the era for you - best new tunes, tour highlights, personal stories... it’s up to you. For me...

What are your thoughts on how these new songs are sounding so far on the tour? Have they met your expectations? For mine, I think The Blackout, Love is Bigger, and now Red Flag Day actually surpassed my expectations.

Sorry for the overlap with TBT thread, just thought it sensible to have a tread named appropriately seeing as though we are discussing GOOYOW and AS in the other thread.

Surely there are some people following?

New album, released 24 November Tracklist: 1. Fort Knox 2. Holy Mountain 3. Keep On Reaching 4. It's A Beautiful World 5. She Taught Me How To Fly 6. Be Careful What You Wish For 7. Black & White Sunshine 8. Interlude (Wednesday Part 1) 9. If Love Is The Law 10. The Man Who Built The Moon 11...

Hi all, Use this thread to request a link so we don't clog up the new album thread. This is how we used to do these things in the old days before streaming!
