The majority of folks in this place have seen U2 live many times, myself included (~8 for me). I remember first hearing them in 1997 and Streets and With or With out you were incredible. Likely not the best U2 played them but for me, the first time it made me grin from ear to ear because these...

My personal feeling is that this is the 2nd best song on SOE and one of 2 songs that could be radio hits (Summer of Love being the other). The Best Thing peaked at #122 for most played on US radio. It charted on 5 different formats (Triple A, Hot AC, Alternative, Alternate Rock and AC) and was...

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2018/03/10/internal-probe-finds-misconduct-within-bonos-advocacy-group/413271002/ Well, at least it's not taxes this time....lol

I am holding off listening to SOE until 12/1. The main reason is that I want my first listen to be on the best quality version of the album. I also like the additional build up of excitement going into this homestretch where the professional reviews come in as well as the fan reviews (obviously...

I dont venture outside of the Your Blue Room forum but wanted to throw out there how a good music video (dying art perhaps) can make a bad song decent, a decent song good and a good song great. Case in point… Beck "Up All Night With You". This is a good song that the video keeps me captivated...

What would TBT or any U2 single going forward need to achieve chart wise that you would consider it a hit? Would you use the Hot 100 as an indicator or radio format charts or perhaps a combo? It's an honest question cause I myself am not sure. This is not meant to start arguments about how U2...

The lead single "You're the Best Thing About me" is out and the album cycle is in full push now....discuss!!!

Are there any plans to record and release a show? I really hope so because this is a special show with several very rare songs that would be great to have on an official release. I would also LOVE if they did a live airing of it ala ZooTV and not pre recorded and edited.

edit: I should have titled this thread…"Introducing my nephew to U2"…lol but you get what I meant Tonight I am headed to Meadowlands Stadium (Giants Stadium) to see the Joshua Tree Tour 2017. I am bringing my 20 year old nephew with me who has never been to a concert before, so it will be his...

I started seeing U2 live in 1997. From 2001 up until the last time I saw them in 2015, I always knew what songs would be played and what they would sound like(1997 I saw the occasional set list online but not often enough to know what would be played). The Internet had taken the surprise out of...

Make your predictions now.....actually coming soon 31 shows I'm guessing: Total attendance: 1,700,000 Average Attendance: 55,0000 Average Ticket price: $122.5 Total Gross: $208,000,000 Pretty incredible for 31 shows if it happens. Sent from my iPad using U2 Interference

This is the LAST hope for a 2016 album IMO. If the play new music, we will likely get not only a single in 2016 but likely an album. If they do not play new music and use this huge opportunity as a promo to launch their new album just in time for the holiday season, then we will need to wait...

I clicked on this video thinking maybe, just maybe, an "artist" that I feel offers absolutely nothing to music or to society can show that they actually have talent and can perform on a stage with the likes of U2. I wasn't disappointed as what I expected pretty much happened. Fortunately, that...

Album sales have been on the decline since around 2002. There used to be a several albums each year that sold over 5 million copies and a couple (the biggest hits) that would sell over 10 million. In recent years, it has become common that the top sellers are now around 2 or 3 million in a...

This is a pretty big event for U2 fans coming up in Paris on 11/14. The reason being is that this will be the show that is pressed and sold as the representation of this (version) of the tour. This is the show that most of us will pull out in a year, 5 years or 10 years and say…"Here was U2 was...

One year ago today this place blew up with excitement! We would be treated with 11 brand new U2 songs all at once. There were no leaks, no pre-release reviews, no I heard the song and... For U2 fans, it was completely unheard of to be surprised with so much new content all at once. Yes, the...

So I think of getting on stage with U2 as one of the rarest and most amazing things that can happen (to a U2 fan of course). I think it is either amazing luck or you have to be a massive U2 fan that the band recognize via seeing them at the show over time or something (ie how do they know when a...

Damn Siri!!! I meant iHeart Radio. Not sure if this is where it belongs, but I just heard on Q104.3 in New York City that they will be broadcasting the live opener for U2 tomorrow night at 11:30 PM Eastern time. I am so excited to hear the new songs and the new versions of old songs...

1-ATYCLB- short, nice color and very "I'm an adult Bono now" Final grade: A 2- POP- Buzz cut- simple, basic, not very rockstar but it was okay. Final grade: B 3-NLOTH- Very short, a little puffy on top but decent. Final grade: B- 4- SOI- short on the sides and very puffy on top, the blond is...

Not sure if this is posted elsewhere but Steve Lillywhite is going back and listening to the first few U2 albums and tweeting his reaction. It's actually very funny..... https://mobile.twitter.com/Sillywhite/status/590162108777541632...

Big shout out to With or Without you for hitting 100,000,000 views on YouTube(any day now). It's U2s most popular video and they finally have a video that crosses that coveted(by some) 100 million view mark. On a side note: I still can't believe that there is no official video for I Still...

With every U2 album comes something new that may or may not add to U2s legacy. With SOI, what are the best things that have come from it so far? For me: 1-Surprise album release! U2 is not good at keeping secrets from its devoted fan base. I have never sat back and said "wow, didn't see that...

If you could put your finger in a single U2 album that made you a fan/ super fan, what was that album? For me: Joshua Tree. The first three songs were so amazing, it made me reflect on the body of work and realize that these guys also recorded Pride, NYD and SBS! Sent from my iPhone using...

Just rate the album and songs and after a week or so, Ill go through and get the average scores. So that we are all using the same rating system, the following is the scale(feel free to use 1/2 points or 1/4 points if it makes you happy): 10/10- Classic 9/10- Excellent 8/10-Very Good 7/10- Good...

I noticed that it has been added to a couple of formats, so I'm thinking it might be the next radio single(whether U2 want it or not). Alternative: On the Taking off chart with 3 station adds On the Spincrease chart with 43 new plays from 12 stations AC: On the Taking off chart with 2...
