    At U2 has been shut down

    https://twitter.com/U2/status/1334214244632580097 https://atu2.com/ Didn't McGee step down a while ago? I wonder why it folded. And will those people who couldn't handle discussion of anything U2 sang or spoke about be coming here?

    Passengers Original Soundtracks 1 - 25th Anniversary Thread

    Passengers Original Soundtacks 1 was released 25 years ago today. I didn't hear it until Christmas - I saw the Miss Sarajevo video a few times, but never heard it on the radio or heard much about this album. I knew it was a low-key largely ambient side project with Brian Eno as a full...

    U2 on new T Rex tribute

    In U2 At the End of the World they discussed covering Bang a Gong for a tribute - it's interesting that they're getting around to it now but it would have better if the band of the mid 90s had tackled the song. It would also be better if Elton John wasn't on it. 01 Kesha – “Children Of The...

    U2, climate change and corporate concerns

    COP21 is imminent and I'm struggling to find and climate change activism that U2 have taken part of. I find this to both very odd considering their attachment to social activism, and Bono's anti-poverty work. Climate change is going to be the primary driver of monetary inequity, food and water...

    Biggest Improvement from the Studio to the Stage

    What songs do you think U2 improved most on the stage? Almost all of their songs are better live, but some improved more than others. Here are mine: 11 O'clock Tick Tock. Martin Hannett's production really didn't suit U2 at all, which is kind of funny given how similar they were structurally...

    Periscope question

    Are the streams official, or is it footage recorded by fans and streamed by them through the app? Is it possible to record audio or video from U2 shows streamed on Periscope? I don't know anything about this, but was excited when I heard it was streamed, and confused that there aren't any...

    Songs of Ascent lives! The third part of a the trilogy

    In 2009, Bono promised that U2 would quickly follow up No Line on the Horizon with a more meditative companion album, Songs of Ascent. There has been no sign of it since, but Bono now sees it as the third part of the trilogy. "Songs of Ascent will come," he promises. "And there are some...

    Cold Dream Colour - sign of what's to come?

    I can't believe that there isn't a thread for this wonderful piece of work yet. I just heard it today for the first time (well, six songs) and it's incredible. I'm new to it, but I haven't had such a positive initial reaction to anything they've done since Pop. It's more or less ambient, and...

    A Gift To All REM Fans

    So, Around the Sun is a pretty bad album, eh? Well I did the impossible and made a really good album that they could have released instead of that piece of shit. They would have had to save Bad Day, Animal, and the attendant b-sides, but this record is in the lower half of their top 10. The...

    Hollow Island's alt tracklists for No Line and Pop

    First of all, a lot of talk about this: maybe, maybe too much talk...hehe... Both of these albums contain material that is among U2's strongest and could have been among their classic records (I know some people think they are), but for various reasons they are not what they could have been...
