Honolulu Setlist Watch and Party, Part III v2.1

[quadcaster]

ROFL, U2.COM HACKED!!! ROFL!!!

 

[gmc]

WTF? Is that the Edge and his "future people"? Or is that you Axver getting your revenge for so many incorrect set lists........

 

[Axver]

Or is that you Axver getting your revenge so many incorrect set lists........

What a perfect way to end the tour: U2.com finally gets its come-uppance for its total incompetence.

This couldn't have been done on a better day.

 

[gmc]

Some Days Are Better Than Others..........

 

[Axver]

I do actually feel bad for them, because I know I'd feel like shit if something ever happened to U2VT, but I can't help also being amused. And really, for such a high profile site, you'd think they'd have better security - but the damn hack's still up!

 

[gmc]

So I wonder if Bono had a premonotion of this "......love put our Windows(tm) In The Skies...."

Now there's something you don't see every day!

I slept through my alarm so i missed the setlist party.

So Vertigo tour is over.

*Starts saving for next tour*

 

[Galeongirl]

WAAH I slept trough my alarm, woke up when the show was already over!


THEY PLAYED WGRYWH??



Interesting new layout U2.com

I wonder how long it'll take before the staff finds out about this about.... two weeks (cough tour dates) aka two months?

 

[Caroni]

Rigth now, Half interference is sleeping because they were at the concert, the other half is sleeping because of the setlistparty hangover just a few of us are watching how history is made by this hacker

I missed the whole setlist party

Reading through bits and pieces now..

Did this guy who came onstage(uninvited?), play piano
during the whole song (Who's gonna ride)??

 

[alanah]

Thanks for the links, guys.

Was Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses full band?
I've read on the U2tour.de forum that Bono totally messed up the lyrics. It wasn't a very successful version, I'm afraid.

Anyway, it's been a great tour. This was a great closure, considering that my favorite band Pearl Jam joined them. And Love and Peace made a comeback which was great. I only dearly miss Zoo Station and One Tree Hill on that setlist.

AWESOME show it seems , everyone got something they liked.

 

[bgmckinney]

Just got back after a long absence... what exactly (or approximately) did the hacker do to U2.com? They seem, unfortunately, to have gotten things back together now.

But I can´t see the site yet!!!! it´s still hacked and with the speed of U2.com staff it will be like that forever

 

[bgmckinney]

? I can get on.
At any rate, I found a screen capture. I was hoping for something with a bit more pith, but hey, at least the guy got in...

Site should be back up when the new album is out.

And since we don't really know when tha could be, .....who knows!

Belated thanks, Axver and crew for doing your best.

And it looks like U2.com is back to "normal", meaning that Interference puts it to shame almost any day of the week.

For the next tour, U2.com had better have a major overhaul or else they'll never get anybody to pay $40 for what they can find elsewhere on the Web for free.

And by the next tour, YouTube will be able to carry live streaming video from anywhere in the world, which will turn it into Tube, I guess.

I am cry, too, that this is over for now, at least.

If you have Mozilla, u2.com is fine. All they did was put in some weird javascript.

Any way to screen cap it? I'd love to see it.

Also, reading the article, it says, "near sell-out" and "47,000" fans which is about 4,000 short of capacity. And this with Billie and Pearl Jam.

Whereas on the mainland, they could have filled Michigan Stadium (108,000) with a show like that -- and everyone would have been able to park. Of course, it would have been 30 degrees and no palm trees. But we like it that way!

 

[silvrlvr]

Hmmm....

Thanks!

Do I remember correctly that a band member's brother or other relative runs U2.com? He'll have some 'splaining to do about security.
