dude, you picked up on this when someone alerted you that U2 would be big enough to trump prince. i hope you are not going to take the "i told you so" supredouche angle when this pans out. knowing how emotional you get, i wouldn't put it past you.

[scoop49er]

shyguy75 i wont go there... i did for prince just a little bit cuz i got so much negative crap when i was telling people it was gonna happen.. this time ill just smile. regardless its all good!

[scoop49er]

we are the lone soldiers my friend! we are a rare breed!

[C DUB YA]

As much as Scoop thinks he knows how this is going to be, he has nothing on their venues. Arenas, multiple nights and they will all sell out. better back off before you bite off more than you can chew. stick to your line up speculations ok?

...they already said it is going to be stadiums this time out, and said it again yesterday in an interview with Sirius.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

both of those U2 setlists need more Pop.

[lickety_spit]

give it rest - you don't like them anymore - move on.

what are you kicking me out? we were having a discussion. this isn't the U2 superfans thread. and i had clearly given it a rest.

[C DUB YA]

what are you kicking me out? we were having a discussion. this isn't the U2 superfans thread. and i had clearly given it a rest.

Yep - you are kicked out...

Not because your not a "superfan" as you say, because you make silly (wrong) judgements on band's records by the singles they happen to release, even without hearing the whole record. Dumb.

Dive deeper young soldier. Dive deeper.

[Cherita Chen]

I'm going to ask the question we all wanna know

C Dub, when will we see you in your sexy boots?

[C DUB YA]

Hmmm, maybe in the Sahara.

hehe

[Cherita Chen]

What do you think of that song? I seem to always only catch the last bits of it but I really don't like it. I get the impression that they're just trying really hard to appeal to my generation (i'm 20), give or take a little.

I am also one of those people that know only the singles but I do like what i've heard. I really don't know why I get so angry at the thought of them playing Coachella. I think I need to move past Bono and focus on the band

[JSam67]

Please get Achtung Baby and The Joshua Tree.

Also, the new song is the worst thing I've ever heard them do, and I own Pop.

[Cherita Chen]

I have those albums courtesy of the bucks. I really need to get to them. But who else is going to listen to the killers if not me?

[fatbastard]

Last night's top 10 on Letterman by U2.

Top Ten Things U2 Has Learned Over The Years
Top Ten

"A lot of people think I'm the guy who sang with Cher" (Bono)

"I suck at 'Guitar Hero'" (The Edge)

"Dumb people send us videos all the time. They think we're YouTube" (Adam)

"Even my family asks, 'Are you Adam or Larry?'" (Larry)

"There's always quite a stir at Applebee's when they call, 'U2 -- party of four'" (Bono)

"Cool name: The Edge. Uncool name: The Itch" (The Edge)

"Melted cheese tastes good on practically everything" (Adam)

"Sometimes when we shout, 'Are you ready to rock?!' I don't care if you are ready to rock" (Larry)

"It's never too soon to start working on a phony Irish accent" (All)

"Up close, you can totally see Letterman's hairpiece" (Bono)

I've been so jealous at watching how pumped the crowd has been all week.

[JSam67]

Don't feel like sifting through this thread, what songs did they perform this week?

[lickety_spit]

apparently saying, "You're a fucking retard. Go back to hugging your Times New Viking cd's." to someone who hadn't said anything to you personally but had shared an opinion opposite of yours isn't dumb? and juvenile? and being judgmental?
and knowing that i don't want to waste my time/money on a record that i know will make me want to stick hot skewers in my ears at at least one point or another is dumb...
you're right, i still have A LOT to learn...

[Cherita Chen]

Please, lickety just drop it. PLEASE

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

[lickety_spit]

oh, it's dropped. everything's dropped. i'm off to hole myself up in a cabin in the woods with U2's discography until i realize the error of my ways.

[JSam67]

Just try listening to one song, Zoo Station (first track of Achtung Baby), and see what you think.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Please get Achtung Baby and The Joshua Tree.

Also, the new song is the worst thing I've ever heard them do, and I own Pop.

I love Pop...and that song is not the worst thing they have ever done....

[Cherita Chen]

Just try listening to one song, Zoo Station (first track of Achtung Baby), and see what you think.

Have you listened to "Joy Ride" yet? I have a couple other killers songs to assign for homework. You're not the only one buddy
