Hmmm...apparently Q Magazine love it - and I would usually trust their opinion. In fact I've often bought stuff I've never heard of based on their recommendation alone - and I don't think I've ever been disappointed.

So it's either a rare lapse in judgement from the Q people - or maybe I should give it a chance.

:D Yeah maybe!

They didn't like Pop, Rattle & Hum or Zooropa though - but then again, who did?

OK then. Back to my original instinct. It's probably crap. :)
 
R.E.M's last album beats the new U2 hands down.Best band me This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language. The lead single is aweful. U2 have a powerful PR machine behind them,a week of Letterman is gold in terms of reaching the masses.

Well coming from a fan of one the most overrated bands in history, I'll take your post with a large pinch of salt :D ;)
 
I didnt like to say it but REM both suck AND blow at the same time. Am I allowed to say that? I hope so, cos its true.
Thanks to Homer Jay for that quote.
 
Tickets, priced €33.60, €59.80, €91.50 and €131.50 (including booking fee), go on sale next Friday, 20 March at 8am.
 
Did anyone manage to get a ticket for €33.60? Where are these seats located (if they are seated)?
 
Yeah I Did for the Friday night. They are general admission!
 
I've stuck myself on a U2 diet starting today. Gives me exactly 4 weeks to whip myself into a frenzy! Listening to the Joshua Tree right now. One tree hill. Jaysus. What a song. They're kicking off in Barcelona tomorrow so I'm looking forward to seeing the set list - it probably wont change dramatically by the time we see them.
I need a pint...

"Come on Homer, you're overstimulated, Let's get some beer in you and then it's staight to bed"
 
According to some punter on the Matt Cooper Show today the Nou Camp show was amazing, and he said he didn't even consider himself a U2 fan.

I hadn't bothered to get tickets for these Croker shows as I have seen them a few times before. But now I'm tempted to go for tickets next Monday to see them again.

Another guy on Live at 5 mentioned that Bono spoke to astronauts in either the Shuttle or Space Station (can't remember which) and he figured that that part of the show was a kind of a "so what, damp squib." He seemed to imply that U2 might be approaching their sell by date.
 
I suppose its all dependent on how much people continue to like bands.

I had a good old eye roll when I heard Oasis were playing Slane, yet spoke to people at it who said it was "best concert ever".

I saw AC/DC twice this year and it was definitely my No1 and No2 "best concerts ever". Oasis fans may not agree.

And I bet U2 fans will use this new massive tour to claim U2 are still "the worlds biggest band", although some REM fans will probably still laughingly claim their fav band is.;)
