“42”, good coldplay song.

 

[Hewson]

Just when we thought 2020 had finally hit its nadir.

Hat is a nice tribute to Chadwick Boseman though.

 

[cobl04]

Ah you right, forgot cobbler isn’t a coldplay fan good shout

 

[cobl04]

I actually love Coldplay.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Shh it’s part of the tease

This thread title hurts my soul.

 

[lazarus]

We let Cobbler name the 25th Shuttlecock thread.

This whole forum should be shut down and put out of its misery.

I pretty much solely hate on Larry these days, but I gotta give the man credit because I really just took notice of how great he is on Bad. At 4:33 when he starts going double time on the cymbals to accent the song's building intensity, that is so good. Whoever engineered the kit really got it right too because it's super crisp and cuts through the mix like a knife.

Larry is really good on that album in general. It's a more textural record that only requires a tight, energetic rhythm section on a few occasions, so we mostly get these loose, loping beats that provide sound color as much as they do rhythm. He should emphasize toms more.

 

[cobl04]

He is phenomenal on Running to Stand Still.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Why the fuck is U2 in quotes?

 

[cobl04]

Well it's a custom made hat. It was a street vendor/artist on the Champs-Élysées. All his designs had quotation marks. I asked him to do a U2 one and I didn't really want the marks but there was a bit of a language barrier.

 

[Hewson]

there was a bit of a language barrier.

English U = French 4

Big Mariano Rivera fan

We let Cobbler name the 25th Shuttlecock thread.

If we are still around by then we should let him name the 42nd thread.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The hat is ghastly.

 

[Axver]

Imagine getting a U2 hat, never mind a custom one.

Imagine being associated with U2 in any way publicly.

Imagine posting on a U2 forum or running a U2 setlist website.

Fucking sad.

The less you people show up to stop me, the worse my posts get. Keep Interference Alive.

Keep 'em coming Ax.
The more you post, the quicker the "hideous 42" hat thread fills up and goes away.

 

[Axver]

I'm sure we will have heaps to discuss when the ATYCLB remaster comes out soon, because it's absolutely not a terrible album and we're not all extremely old.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I won't let you better fucks ruin the rerelease for me

 

[DaveC]

I won't let you better fucks ruin the rerelease for me

my condolences to Mrs Headache.

I think their cover of Bang a Gong dropped finally.

 

[david]

Well, the Angel Headed Hipster Album is steaming but Apple Music is not making the U2 and Elton John cover of Bang a Gong available. Also, Gavin Friday eerily sounds like Bono.

 

[david]

Haha, Eddie Vedder’s latest Instagram post:
