Setlist watchers will have fun with the EU leg because unlike the current one it has a few 4 night runs (Paris, Milan and Dublin) where they will open up their extensive back catalogue and delve... .....nah... in reality that's ABOY, Gloria, ABOY, Gloria.... Yeah. Close the thread.

Well then the the phrasing in the article is bad.

We played "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" as well. That was fun for us. Having never played it live it was, like, a bit of a project to go back and figure out how it worked. Luckily, as with most of my guitar parts, once you figure it out you realize it's kind of simple. [Laughs] So that was...

I was probably inspired by a second night shorter setlist. ;)

Tough, because it's natural to go the "add SUC, Grace" road but... 01. Love is All We Have Left 02. The Blackout 03. Lights of Home 04. All Because of You 05. Beautiful Day 06. The Ocean 07. Iris 08. The Miracle 09. Sunday Bloody Sunday 10. Until the End of the World 11. Elevation 12. Vertigo...

It's basically the 1988 promo reissued then. The God Pt 2 Mix is 2 mins is the longer promo remix and I don't think it was commercially released. Perfect opportunity to add the promo 9:23 Desire Remix too, oh well. When Love Comes To Town Single - God Part II [Hard Metal Dance Mix] 4:45 3D...

I was trying to get a sort of "casual" fan I know into the post Berry material, which I generally love for the most part. Assuming the hit singles from that 98-11 era are fairly good to great and known songs, I guess this would be my recommended deep cut "start with" compilation. Others might...

Nothing... ---- As for the gig, look they can certainly show some voice again and some of the fanbase will go "yeah!" others and the public beyond perhaps less so, mainly because we remember a time not so long ago, when it certainly appeared that Bono gave way too many of these same grotesque...

Aye sure. Hope he included his flesh pressing chum Pence in the diatribe, it's a package deal Bono, two parts of the same suck. Then again after the BFF Bush era a man who actually toppled the dominos in March 2003 that led to Syria's current plight, well... awkward...

Any UK iTunes chart number is only a small % of all the week's hard copy buys, digital downloads and streaming site stats/numbers so it is never wholly accurate of a final UK Album or Singles chart position as TBT #16 position kinda proved didn't it... If anything and given the time of year...

Relax, a u2start user said "it's all just lighting and make up" nothing to see. :hmm:

Yes - and they get stuck there and I usually have to start humming THE most obscure B side to rid my self of them. TBT is one of those kind of songs alas. Subjective as it clearly is, but two weeks in and this over long album is just not working as a complete experience and that's now three...

That "#1 album in each decade" part? clearly that's been added into the PR blurb, because it's been featured in almost every item I've read since last Friday. On the other hand, the usual suspects within the UK music press not having a wee naughty Nelson Munz HAHA dig is probably more galling...

Seriously, New Adventures In Hi-Fi, Up and Reveal are pretty great albums, the middle one being my favourite R.E.M. album, but then again they are probably my favourite band too. :shifty: Yeah, Around The Sun is the "oops overstretched it there a bit" album, but in the years since and the band...

Oh I know and it used be so nice too.... Vietnam & Kent State. Political assassinations (or attempted) in the US & riots at the conventions. The Troubles. The National Front. Weell... there's Watergate of course. :) The German Red Army Faction kidnappings & bombings. The Munich Olympics...

Oh just slightly shocked as in "oh really? well who woulda thought..." - as opposed to "holy fucking shit WTF just happened..." slightly... And the UK midweek charts are notoriously inaccurate, so it's probably worse that that, so you can maybe add about 8 to that #19. Yeah, most people...

*carl somehow manages to get underground without making any noise moving a heavy sewer grating despite having a limp in approximately two seconds* That's an old trope. You used to see that a lot in Star Trek TNG and Voyager etc where the baddies would chase a main cast member around the ship...

I guess releasing an album during the holiday season has another side to it and often sales bounces happen to existing popular albums and new ones, no matter whom, seem to get swept aside slightly. I wonder if any industry site, probably some subscription based one as usual, will break up the...

But doesn't that sorta fly in the face of them wanting to be "part of the conversation", and have the music "played in bars in 25years" and the dreaded "R" word that's been so much part of their interviews this last few months (if not years). Just to settle with the diehards buying week one and...

I've been gone a while but the UK music mainstream really seems to be going through a long shitty beige phase, maybe reflecting it's country's politics as opposed to reacting against them ala 1976, 1979 and 1981? tut tut. And it's unlikely any movement - as in the past - is gonna come along and...

It's where it is next week that also matters as far as gauging if the album is attracting newbies, which beyond the anecdotal I doubt. I'd imagine the drop will be substantial in the UK especially and also in the US.

Their rather good Beatles cover (Golden Slumbers) which was used in a UK store ad campaign this Christmas, peaked around 29 in our UK Top 40 which for a bunch of non-popstars in this age we live in, is pretty impressive, especially considering another band from across the irish Sea we all know...

Man, to be beaten to the #1 spot by the fucking Beige Brothers is pretty galling. P!nk, she's fun and has some great songs, but tedious omnipotent Eddy and Sam Smiffy? Dear God, I mean, it's not new, we've alway had some really shit acts back home rise to the top, but just now we have so few if...
