U2

[Eternally Missed]

I have searched just in case there was another thread dedicated to U2, but it seems that the search parameter criteria was to short... :p

Well, what do you think of U2? In mi opinion they "were" a great band, now, after the fiasco of "All that you can't leave behind" (in terms of quality that album was under average) I hope the next album will be as good as Achtung Baby, Zooropa or Pop...

And it seems that Bono pays more attention at being elected the new Peace's Nobel Prize than to the music.

Get posting your opinions... if you want :) .

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

I hate U2. I've always hated U2 and probably always will. Their music sucks and Bono should die a very slow and painful death due mainly to the fact that he's a complete cock.

I agree. My parents' favourite band which resulted in a very cruel childhood of listening to Pop & Zooropa on a regular basis.

[Eternally Missed]

I have to say that, and that not only happens to me, now, when I listen to them I don't like them in the way I used to like... In other words, they have great songs, but all the others are... how to say that... overstimated...

And it's a shame... because my bf has spent great part of his money in all their singles (even the first ones), promos, etc...

Jondalar, it could be worse... I grew up listening spanish music... :mad:

[devotionalee]

What is this? An appreciation thread, or a deprecation one?? If you don't like it, don't throw shit over them. Bono should die?? you are jokin' or you believe in other life after this one (and you wish it to the great bono).

To me, their great album is achtung baby; great great great. They lost themselves with Zooropa, although they did a great tour. Pop is good, but not exciting. And the last one is good only, but has got two of their best songs ever: "Walk on" & "Beautiful day". The new songs included in their "best of" were great, at a very high level. I love "Electrical storm" & the Gangs of new york track. The expectatives are very large. They are doing their best another time. I hope seeing them live next year. The biggest band in the world nowadays.

Esos peazo de último de la fila!! :cool:

[Glitterstar]

U2 were great. Like alot of bands they've got a little stale as the years have gone on, but 'Achtung Baby' and 'Joshua Tree' are albums of sheer class.

[Eternally Missed]

Esos peazo de último de la fila!! :cool:

De los pocos q se salvan de la quema :LOL: ! With spanish music I meant Julio Iglesias, Dyango, Perales and that sort of thing :'( .

Devotionalee (escribiré en inglés para q el resto me entienda, si pueden :LOL: ), Achtung Baby is one of my favourite albums ever... Zooropa and Pop is an evolution of their music... but, the last one has only four great songs: Walk on, Kite, Elevation and Beautiful Day... the others are just songs.

However I hope their new album will be good, because I'm starting to feel a little bit disappointed. And they have promised a new album since a year so far... and now, where's the album, they said that in november of this year... but I don't believe it.

I really like zooropa, it's an underrated alb; i love flood's production, and the experimental touch.
I like 1/2 of pop; the rest is a bit stressing.
I love walk on & beautiful day on ATYCLB; i really like elevation, stuck in a moment, new york. But there are songs that i hate (fullfiller trash). I can't listen to "grace" :o .
The alb is being delayed again and again, because of producers, bono travels and related. The result has to be better with that amount of time. Others like garbage or depeche mode. Lazy! Turttles!! :rolleyes:

P.S.- Arriba el fary! :LOL:

[cir]

I like U2, my favourite album is "pop" and 'achtung baby'...and I belive that new album will be as good as 'pop' or 'achtung baby' ... I think that last ('all that you...') was a little mistake, I don't like this album...

Eeerrmm... I was going to... err... say something about U2... Yes, one of my favourite bands ever. But I agree with you, Eternally; I don't like them now as I used to like them. Their last album has 3 or 4 great songs, the ones you mentioned, but nothing more. My favourite albums? War, Achtung Baby, Zooropa.

[Mathieu]

U2 are amazing... THE best band out there

[killer queen]

I'd say they WERE the best band for a while... they were really good and I love Achtung baby, but they have been slowly coming to a painfull death for the last few years and yes Bono should only dedicate to what he does best and that's ONLY singing and writing and being in the band

I'm afraid I totally agree with what you say. As I have said before Bono is dedicating most part of his time at speaking with presidents and doing conferences and all that sort of things (and I'm not saying that it's bad, he has to take advantage of being famous and fight for what he believes... but not to that extend) and has left the band aside.

I have readed (I don't remember where) that The Edge has gave an ultimatum to Bono: or the band or the humanitarian projects... but maybe that is a little bit exagerated.

It's niether, numb nuts, it's an open forum as to wether or not you like the band. I don't. And Bono is most definetly a cock.

Jondalar agrees with me so I must be right.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

I was raised on U2, Status Quo and Queen.... Hmm.
I'm listening to The Joshua Tree right now, as I have listened to all my albums too many times and am desparate.
And Bono probably is something of a twat, but it goes with the territory... :rolleyes:

[Nav]

Recently started listening to U2, just have the Slane castle gig dvd, after influence from my brother, what you guys think of them, anygood?

I think their pretty cool personally.

[How To Be Dead]

I just don't know if I like them. =/

[Pearl]

I love U2. But then I'm old.

[kira hrochova]

one of the most briliant band I've ever heard, strong voice, music makes you fly, dream, cry,
what do you wish more when you listening music?

love Bono just because he is :D

[Steve1]

I really like U2, but once more this is a song built on the excellent guitar work of The Edge, and the lyrics aren't up to much, same as 'Elevation'.
Still a great riff tho' :) :)

[Sarah]

Honestly?
Atrocious.

[daniela]

it is rather catchy indeed :D

[Muser_Hullabaloser]

I love U2, I love Vertigo and I'm going to buy their new album.

[Sid]

yeah, love it.

shit, was meant to download it but being a jackass i totally forgot.

[Gem]

Please look for the original thread to put it in next time.

[Mozza]

I didnt like U2 much but "Sometimes you cant make it on your own" changed my view of them, i still think they did a lot of crap but i do at least appreciate some of their work and own an album

[mr.jingles]

I don't know if anyone here likes U2.

I personally love their very early work from the 80s. 'Achtung Baby' proved to be an incredibly well crafted and original album that changed their sound for the good. However, the totally fucked it up with the electronica crap on 'Zooropa' and 'Pop'.

Their last two albums have been quite decent, though. However, I have to say that 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' seems too mellow for my taste. I hope they get heavier on the next one.

Achtung Baby is my favourite album of all time.

Yes but Johnny and the boys are catching them up.

[mr.jingles]

Pop and Zooropa were absolutely awful, except for 4 tracks: 'Stay', 'The First Time', 'Staring At The Sun', and 'Please'.
I'm very glad that those days of Bono wearing make up, singing falsettos and humping cameras are gone.
I know the initial concept was of self-mockery, but the joke was not on themselves but on all the fans. It seems like all they wanted to show was that they could come up with the most atrocious albums and people would still buy them anyways. It was a radical change that started good on 'Achtung Baby' and then turned into a complete joke.

If anyone wants to appreciate U2 for what they do best, they should listen to 'Boy', 'War', and 'The Unforgettable Fire'. Those albums truly showcase U2 at their peak of creativity.

[-aMUSEd-]

I don't think that's necessarily true, they were at their most creative in Achtung Baby, nothing they'd ever done before had ever sounded vaguely like it.

I'm not a huge fan of October, I think it's a bit boring, but on the other hand, I love Pop and Zooropa. I think they're albums you have to listen to a bit before you can get them...

The new albums/compilation U2:18 is a bit meh, it's just all their mainstream stuff, with Saints and Window In The Skies (which is okay, but I think they should've released Mercy instead - that was a WAAAY better song). The DVD is good though, I think it's better than the "Live from Chicago - Vertigo Tour" one, but maybe that's just me :happy:

I quite like HTDAAB, but their older stuff is better, a new album is rumoured to be released next year (which I seriously doubt will happen, more like late 08) - but fingers crossed ;)

[-aMUSEd-]

New video for Window In The Skies, I quite like it, the band are in it. But you have to look hard for them :LOL:

[~SapphireStar~]

Love U2, I was brought up on their music. Its coolio cause my whole family are fans ^^
I dont like their GreenDay song though, it was just poop IMO. Personally I believe their old songs to be the best, like "With or Without You." And The Joshua Tree was their best album!

[mr.jingles]

I always thought that the 'Joshua Tree' was perhaps the most overated album of all time. Not a bad one, but very overated indeed.

It's an album more based on strong hit singles, rather than an album as a whole.

[alice]

U2 were the first band I got into properly when I was about 10 methinks... loved 'em ever since, one of my fav bands to this day. I think they're absolutely amazing. I have days when all I can lsiten to is their 80s stuff... but then there's days when the 90s stuff is so fitting. Their newer stuff I still like a lot, but def not as much.

Tbh though, I'm a huge fan, but I don't wanna see 'em live.

[budgie182]

....I hope the next album will be as good as Achtung Baby, Zooropa or Pop...



ok, im a massive u2 fan, but even i admit that pop was a turd
i know a lot of u hate u2 (especially bono), so im not gonna argue with u (i wrote the same thing about green day)

[mr.jingles]

I thought Zooropa was worse than Pop, although it's hard to pick which one was worse.

[Cydoniababy]

I'm not really a fan and I only have U218 Singles compilation album... I just wish they'd put City Of Blinding Lights instead of Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own -- what a boring song :rolleyes:

[hyperactivebliss]

Loved since birth. Probably always will love them. anddddd I think All That You Can't Leave Behind was a great cd. It was like one of the first cds I bought with my own money. But yeah, the never fail to amaze and inspire me. They have a song for my every mood and I can always listen to U2 when I need to be cheered up. :D This probably sounds so cheesy but yeah. I'll erm end with U2 has probably had more influence on me than any other band... well the Beatles are definitely up there but yes U2 probably takes the cake. *blushes* I'm a geek I know

[hoodoo oz]

Something I've learnt from both the official website and one of the U2 fansites.

On July 21 Boy, October and War remastered editions will be re-released with live tracks b-sides, rarities etc. just like the Joshua Tree was last year. Edge was mainly responsible for the JT remaster and is also involved with the first 3 albums.

I still consider myself really lucky last year 2 days after xmas. Managed to get hold of the Joshua Tree remastered edition deluxe set. It included a booklet, CD of outtakes(never previously released) and b-sides, and a DVD including a 1987 concert from Paris (excellent by the way) and mini-doco and videos. I mainly got it for these extras as I obviously already had the CD but then when I heard the re-mastered edition...wow. I really noticed how great it sounded. I'm therefore looking forward to the re-release of the first three albums especially if there's some good live versions of songs from the 1981, 82, 83 tours. (and of course for the b-sides that I either only have on record or don't have at all):rolleyes:

edit: i know many people don't like U2, but i have to tell, that it wasn't for U2 i would never know what good music is, without U2 my music taste would be totally crap, just listening to number one hits, summer hits, one hit wonders and stuff like that, you know those annoying songs you can hear on the radio all the time, i discovered rock and now I'm open for pretty much every type of music

[Nicknamevanniks]

You can say what you want about Bono but U2 is a damn good band. They might not be sophisticated or skilled like MUSE is but I believe that's not what Rock is all about. Their lyrics and melodies are as pure as they come.

I know exactly where you're coming from with that, because I'm exactly the same. U2 were the band that actually made me interested in music, probably because my dad is a huge U2 fan, and even though I probably prefer muse now, I will always have a massive soft spot for them.

Personally I find that U2s best work was the one they put out prior to the Joshua Tree. After that, they grabbed too much media spotlight and became over hyped.

Even thought it's a decent album, the Joshua Tree might well be the most overrated album ever.

I don't completely agree with you, but I do think you're right about Joshua Tree being overrated. Even though I love it and think its a great album, I think Achtung Baby is way better and far more deserving of the hype.
And plus, the cross dressing in the one video is awesome :LOL:

With Or Without You is also my favourite U2 song.

U2 are fantastic, let's hope album 11 is the same (much like we are hoping Muse album 5 is good).

minusing the song with tom jones :LOL:

[hoodoo oz]

Apparently it's supposed to be of a more experimental nature. Not necessarily Achtung sounding but similar to the way Achtung broke away and reinvented them (after the Joshua Tree)
I still would've preferred the album being released next month as originally planned. I remember how they restarted parts of both Pop and HTDAAB and how that ended up. Both albums had their moments but aren't in my top four.
Incidnetally my U2 top four is:
Joshua Tree
Unforgettable Fire (very underrated album)
Achtung Baby
All That You Can't Leave Behind.

I also thought most people hated U2, but it's good to see there are fans out there:D

[hoodoo oz]

How long have you been a fan MTJT?
I'm just curious. I don't think that it matters. What's your favourite album?
I've listed mine and I'm just interested in comparing notes.
I hope it is more "Achtung"-sounding, experimental.
The fact that Eno/Lanois are the producers augers well as I think that their best albums are the ones with that production team.

How long have I been a fan? over 3 years now, I know it's not much, but my musical taste developed really late:LOL:
my fav albums are obviously Joshua Tree as in my username:D, but also HTDAAB (the one that made me become a fan;)), Achtung Baby and All That You Can't Leave Behind as well
I agree with you about The Unforgettable Fire, I just love Pride and Homecoming from that one;)
Eno/Lanois + U2 makes a great combination, lets hope the album is just as great:D and better than HTDAAB, I know they can do better

anyway lets hope both Muse's and U2's albums will be great, can't wait them to be released

[Davy]

Searching for Bono worked Gemsy :happy:

It's actually took me this long to realize they're pretty amazing, rather than like just a few songs by them.

I think I have to put that down to the fact I didn't like U2 because Bono is a dick, but glad I overcame that.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, new album coming out Monday, 2nd March 2009 and it's called "No line on the horizon"

[hoodoo oz]

Yes I've read and heard the news too!
Pretty exciting stuff.
I hope it's in a more experimental vein like Achtung Baby was.

i am so excited about it, it's something to look forward to in 2009 :D

[hoodoo oz]

Has anyone heard "Get On Your Boots" yet? (new single)
I haven't but am listening out for it as there are rumours that some stations will start playing it this week. (even though the release date is not till mid Feb)
And of course I can't wait for the new album.:)

[MUSEingJoshuaTree]

here it is : GET ON YOUR BOOTS (http://goyb.u2.com/)

[Muttley]

I heard bits of it when I got up this morning but it didn't do much for me at first listen :(

[Mozza]

I didn't like the new song when I first heard it, kinda disagreed with the Radio 1 love-in.

[Burning_October]

I actually really like this. Nice vocal hormonies, great bass riff, Edge does some nice work in the background. Certainly its not Beautiful Day or anything, but its still pretty great.

[Kaoss22]

I like the new song. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.


And I should say that I adore old U2 (pre-Joshua Tree) a lot. Some really great stuff.

[hoodoo oz]

I'm really looking forward to the new album. I heard that it's quite experimental and I'm hoping that it's experimental in the Achtung Baby mode.

I actually like the new song. Not their best but quite good.:)

[Clunge]

Wow, could they get any more bland? :stunned:.

[mr.jingles]

The new song is not horrible, but it's also nothing that you'd want to hear over and over again.

[QueenOfNerds]

eeek don't like the new one :stunned:

[MUSEingJoshuaTree]

yeah, well I didn't have a WOAAAAAAAAAHHH reaction, but I think we've all already heard far worse stuff, but the song is OK so far, hope the album will have more, can't wait:D

[Muttley]

It's definitely better than Vertigo

Vertigo is in my top 10 of worst U2 songs

[hoodoo oz]

From what I hear the rest of the album should be much better.
Their last few albums have had a catchy' "poppy song" as a first release with some better tracks on the album. (especially ATYCLB)
I'm hoping the same with NLOTH.

[MUSEingJoshuaTree]

Is anybody interested in buying the "Under A Blood Red Sky" DVD, I bought it today along with the UABRS CD+DVD edition, but I only saw that now I have the DVD twice when I got home and had already unwrapped the DVD. So if anybody is interested in the DVD or if you know anybody who could be interested PM me. I only inserted the DVD once in the DVD player to check it was exactly the same as the other one.

I can be so dumb sometimes:facepalm:

[MUSEingJoshuaTree]

:ninja: album preordered........
:ninja:






:D

[Nimpo46]

Anyone think that Get On Your Boots really misses something in the chorus? It sounds like it should be a really loud, strong, and powerful moment and it just lacks something.

[celectro]

the new single is pure crap ... hope the new LP will erase this bad memory ! arrogance is their middle name, sadly !

[Shizugatake]

To me "Get On Your Boots" is just recycling "Fast Cars" B-side and adding some random effects. I do like Fast Cars, and GOYB is quite enjoyable to, but Bono kinda ruins the chorus(Bridge? the you don't know how-part) for me.

Not as cool and Rock'n Roll-in-your-face as Vertigo or Elevation, but it'll do the job on the oncoming tour (hopefully).:)

:(:yesey: maybe one needs time to like it, I dunno, I like the song better now, but it's still not great:(

I'll admit, the new single didn't live up to my expectations either. It's just... I dunno.

Anyway, I heard this last week but I see it hasn't been posted yet (unless I'm totally blind):

12.02.2009
Five Nights with Letterman

The band will be guests on the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday March 2nd... and then again on the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Coinciding with the worldwide release of No Line on the Horizon, it's the first time a musical guest has performed an entire week on the CBS late night broadcast.

Monday, March 2-Friday, March 6 (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

I'm very surprised that the album is this good, considering that 'Get Your Boots On' really sucks.
So far this album is way better than 'How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb', and I'm very glad they got over that lame Coldplayish mellow crap.

So the guys may just have won you back hey Mr J?
Haven't heard much of it yet. (apart from GOYB...the other song on the CD single-NLOTH 2-is excellent)
Apparently the reviews say it's their best since Achtung Baby. That album is the last of theirs that I really loved. ATYCLB comes close though.
However, one of the glowing reviews also said that Get On Your Boots was one of the three standout tracks...:eek:
WTF!!!!!!!
Can't see it myself..;

That makes me larf! It's being so heavily plugged on Radio 1! They did that with Will Smith's last movie too!

Bought my copy today. Not as good as Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby but way better than How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.:)
A few excellent songs, most of the rest good with a couple of fillers.

[-aMUSEd-]

Do you wish they all died on a cross at 27? That would sure make them cooler. And immortal.

This new album has a continuity and depth that HTDAAB and ATYCLB didn't have. I really, really love it - no one song is better than listening to the album in its entirety which is so refreshing. I don't want to skip a single track! To begin with I didn't think Boots really fitted in with the whole flow of it all, but I can kind of see it now. I can't understand why they wanted it to be their first single though... hmm, though I suppose if they wanted some high energy pop song to open all the music award ceremonies that was it!

I got my (non-expensive) copy in the post this morning, I'll be damned if I'm going to shell out £45 for 11 songs! Roll on the tour!

[hoodoo oz]

Love the album. Not quite as good as UF, AB and JT (my 3 favourite albums) but way better than HTDAAB.:)
Love NLOTH, Magnificent, Unknown Caller, Fez-Being Born, White As Snow and Breathe.
I'm in Oz so have resigned myself to the fact that it'll be at least a year before I see them.

[-aMUSEd-]

I'm in Oz so have resigned myself to the fact that it'll be at least a year before I see them.

I was so pleased/relieved to see the departure from htdaab sound and that kind of "safe u2 sound" - they are on Letterman all week and the live performances are up on youtube, so far we've had Breathe, Boots (I think) and Magnificent. They are sounding really good live.

Apparently tickets for Europe tours go on sale here mid-March which is really soon! And America in a few months, so yeah, I think it will be some time before they get round to Australia/Japan/Asia - but at least it is something to look forward to! :happy:

Indeed it is.
I must say though, that Europe/UK/US always have better support acts for U2 shows.
eg. some of the concerts got PJ Harvey or the Killers. We got Kanye West:mad:
OK The Killers aren't always the best but surely they're better than any hip hop act.

I dunno, I think I would've preferred Kanye West :erm: though I completely missed out on the tour last time. None of my friends like U2 and get rather hung up on the "Bono, what a twat" point of view. So I despair of them :LOL: Anyway, this time I'll be going by myself, I won't be missing out because none of my friends m=have good taste :happy:

I'd heard about this 2nd new album too, hmm interesting stuff, I'm intruiged as to whether it'll be an nloth part 2 or a completely new album altogether. I'm guessing a part 2, as all the songs were written at the same time - I love No Line so can't wait to hear these other songs too :)

well, I have read somewhere they will be touring until the end of 2010, so I really hope for you they will go to Oz

I thought there would be more Europe dates though , Lisbon in Portugal would have been great (there are 2 stadiums), so now I don't know if I will be able to see them anywhere, that sucks, and why does it have to be stadiums all the time, they could also come to the Rockhal to Luxembourg (just like Depeche Mode on the 6th May), I know it's a small venue, but Muse have also played there and Queen+Paul Rodgers too, so why not U2, small doesn't mean shit, does it?

I thought I was gonna be happy all day, but instead I'm in a bad mood:(

[Furygirl]

I was a MASSIVE U2 fan in the '80s. Saw them live in '85 and '87. Back when you had to literally camp out for tickets. They were both great shows. But after Joshua Tree, they lost me, and I really never found my way back to them. Hubby bought All That You Can't Leave Behind, but I'm not crazy about it. And I checked out the new one from the library. Meh... took it back. They don't even sound like the same band. In fact, there are certain parts of Muse songs that I think sound more like U2 than U2 does. I was trying to get psyched up about them and give them another chance because I'm going to the Muse/U2 show in Atlanta in October, but I'm just not feelin' it. So I'll just be going as a Muse fan! :p

[MUSEingJoshuaTree]

I'm glad they are playing more songs from 'The Unforgettable Fire', but it sure bums me out that they have completely forgotten about 'Boy'.

Why are they leaving 'New Years Day' out?

Have you guys seen the Jonathan Ross Show on BBC1? It was BRILLIANT, the confrontation with street missionclicky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe6VtCRTvsU), you should have seen the look on the faces of Bono(:eek: ->:LOL:) and the Edge(:stunned:).

The problem with U2 is that they always play too many songs from the new albums.

They played a ton of Boy last tour so I don't picture them playing much from it again (with the exception of I Will Follow) any time soon. New Years Day will come back eventually. They're not going to play everything you want to hear. They're playing songs that havn't been played live in 10-15 years so there's no reason to be complaining about this set list. It's pretty much their strongest since PopMart. And yes they do play a lot from their new album which I don't mind. The new album is their best since Achtung Baby and playing a lot from the new album shows that they're still making relevant music.

[Kid B]

Yeah, I wish they played Bullet The Blue Sky last Saturday. I just love that song. But the setlist was really nice anyway <3 :happy:

Bullet has been played to death every tour since Joshua Tree. I'm so glad they finally fucking dropped that song. They can't perform it with the same intensity it used to have and it drags on so much now.

Danced my arse off and got a bit emotional when he sang MLK and Unforgettable Fire :$ Bono was ever so slightly hoarse, but it was ok cos the 80,000 in the stadium were in fine voice.:LOL:


Edit: Should have asked the fucker for a lift home afterwards, the DART was fucking crammed! :LOL:

I hope I can see them in Dublin one day! But hey, I've seen them live twice so I'm not complaining.

It took some time for me to get in that new stuff, but if you take No Line in it's whole, and compare that to the older albums (albums, not just their hit singles), it does a pretty good job.

was on it for the 3 nights:happy:, honestly the set on friday looked stronger to me(as a casual fan!) pity I missed it though(then again there's always the next tour!)

[Ril]

I only like old U2. Their new stuff is crap like this "Get On Your Boots" shit.

That was ace. You could hear the Muse influences. :happy:

[Kid B]

Last night's set was the best of the tour! I hope we get a set half that good at L.A

[New Born Lee]

I was at them last night and it was great!

Due to the ticket supplier messing us around we got upgraded tickets- we payed for £70 tickets and ended up with 150 euro tickets, pretty damn close to the stage too for seat tickets.

They apparently (according to my two friends who are much more into U2) played a really good setlist too, with Bad, New Year's Day and Stay (cool acoustic version!) all accounted for. It actually turned out there was no songs I didn't know, since they usually play Angel of Harlem or Desire but didn't yesterday night. Bad was the best song of the night imo, and Ultraviolet had an impressive light show.

I'll upload some pics if I get the chance. I only got pics of the stage before my phone camera claimed I had low battery and refused to take pictures. :( Luckily I still had enough to put them up before 'One'. Seeing everyone's phones up was awesome.

The two support acts were good as well, apparently the combination was the best of the three nights too. The Script were catchy of course and had good crowd reaction, and I have to say they used the stage well (the singer was REALLY HAPPY). Bell X1, who I was excited to see, were brill live, I was very pleased.

I knew I heard it! :chuckle:
I'm not really a massive fan but I have to say that New Years Day is a song and a half! :happy:

[MoodyJ]

I like U2, and I'm excited that I get to see them and Muse on 9/24 and 9/25 at Giants Stadium. :dance:

It's the best of both worlds for me, although my friends (U2 fans) aren't happy that I'm making them go to the show early so that I can see all all of Muse's set. :LOL:

£30 tix left over for Wembley Stadium - to go or not to go?

I like U2 but I'm still pretty unfamiliar with a lot of their songs (only familiar really with Get On Your Boots, Vertigo, Elevation, Beautiful Day, Where The Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and Pride (In The Name of Love) though I am listening and picking up a lot more, plus the tour looks so great to see.

I reccomend you listen to 'Ultraviolet (Light My Way)' which they have just brought back for this tour. They've a good chance of playing 'Bad' as well, big fan favourite that one. Oh, and 'One'. Surely you've heard 'One'. If you haven't, you must. :LOL:

In general, outside what they're playing live, I highly reccomend Achtung Baby. Definetly their best album. :yesey:

[forevermusic]

I used to ignore 'One', but I listened to it last night and it blew my mind.

I also think Until The End of the World is pretty rad. City of Blinding Lights (which I know is in the tour set) and I'll Go Crazy (both normal and live remix) are also awesome. Might play Ultraviolet tonight.

[Muttley]

Bastards didn't play Unforgettable Fire when I saw them :mad:

They did play Ultra Violet and Bad though but the damage had been done already :(

One is one (teehee) of their best songs IMO! I love it sooo much.

I am jealous of everyone going to see them, I was away when tickets went on sale and don't have the money to buy off ebay etc. They were the first band I ever got into, when I was 10! so it's like my lifelong dream to see them in concert sometime, maybe their next tour...

[MummySaint]

Just wondered if any other Muse fans went to see U2 at Wembley this weekend? We went on Friday and were wondering if they could still impress bearing in mind we now felt that Muse had taken their title of best live performers with their last tour but..................THEY WERE PROPER PURE AWSOME!!! If you didn't go please go onto U2's picture gallery and take a look at the rig it was just mind blowing! Whether you're into their music the rig and show was just mind bending!

[Black Mamba]

Magnificent is an amazing song.

[Girl Anachronism]

Magnificent is an amazing song.
It is even better live. :happy:

Yeh I was there on Friday, was truly fantastic :happy:

[P-Mac]

I seen them at Hampden on Tuesday night and they were fucking out-of-this-world! I have been waiting 4 years to see U2 and it finally paid off. They put on one hell of a show. The Claw was amazing, the light show and special effects were brilliant throughout the night, and the setlist went down a storm.

Definitely the greatest concert I have ever been to.

They could be touring again next year... maybe we'll see them then.

Being streamed live on Q radio as I type.

Sounds as awsome as it was on friday at Wembley.

[hoodoo oz]

I'm glad they are playing more songs from 'The Unforgettable Fire', but it sure bums me out that they have completely forgotten about 'Boy'.

Why are they leaving 'New Years Day' out?

The problem with U2 is that they always play too many songs from the new albums.

Agreed Mr J.
And yes, it's fantastic that they played the UF title track on the first couple of dates. That whole album is one of my favourites. As is Achtung Baby and it's great that they playing a few songs from that as well (especially Ultraviolet) I wonder why they've never played Acrobat live...:stunned:
On the Vertigo tour they played a few songs from Boy.

Great to see U2 having a great support act. There's so much that U2 and their fans could learn from Muse.
RE Support acts: On their last Oz tour they had Kanye West supporting:mad:
I loathe hip hop!

[NaZZeX]

Magnificent is an amazing song.

Really got me when I first heard it. Brilliant riff by The Edge on there.

They'll be back in Europe next year. Or else I'm going to give the edge a spank job just for saying they would to a radiostation here. He said they would certainly play Brussels in 2010.

Or maybe the Radiostation screw up ._.

Unfortunately, it can only go downhill when you witnessed a large scale U2 stadium gig :p ;)
Did you get U2 merchandising? :awesome:

Yes, I hope so, or I'll spank somebody too. My godmum told me she saw an interview or something else on TV saying they would be playing in Portugal next year. I hope they do play there when i happen to be there :LOL:. But anyways I will see them again :D

Well, Muse are brilliant too, I think as long as you really like the band or whatever act you're going to see, it will be fine :), but U2 are epic, the best :D nobody can top them in my eyes

Yeeeees, I spent shit loads of money in merch, I thought since it's my first gig I have to get proper merch :LOL: I'm very proud of my Cardiff tee:D

U2 are great, one of my favourite bands. I saw them live 3 times (Elevation Tour, Vertigo Tour and this year), they're a great live band...if Bono doesn't start one of his "Save the World" speeches.:LOL:

[MUSEingJoshuaTree]

Hiya, saw them in Cardiff for the very first time :D (my very first concert ever actually) and I effing loved it, got into the pit, I'll be seeing them in Frankfurt again next August, got some waiting ahead of me too :LOL:

:ninja: and I'm definitely sick of all those people constantly criticising them, if they don't like them, fine, but there's no need to repeat it over and over again :rolleyes:, yeh that MTV EMA live stream yesterday was nothing for me, with that facebook thingy next to the stream with weird comments :LOL:
