[Wooderson]

Btw that was my point Thom - about the irony of the show being so centered on Dublin yet we've nowhere to put on the fucking gig.

Tis an odd irony indeed yes, yet if it results in us getting something a little different from the usual U2 101 (and I manage to get a ticket for such) Ill be most happy with that. But as usual if/when tickets go on sale for Dublin they will be gold dust, especially if they announce that the shows will be different, because that will then get the international fan base on it something fierce.

They can play to Point and drop a lot of the OTT stage stuff. They don't really need it anyway. Whats wrong with playing the songs on a normal stage?

The spider thing ruined the last tour. Couldn't see the band. Just a load of walkways and barriers and mechanical arms and stuff in the way.

Ever since Zoo TV its just what they do. Their modus operandi so to speak. Its probably done out of expectation more than anything these days

Well if its between playing a gig or no gig......

And I know they want to involve the kids from the music charity they run.

[eFestivals]

And City of Blinding Lights. Obviously.

you mis-spelt it

Always been a fan of U2 pushing boundaries. The sound set up on new tour looks fascinating.

[ThomThomDrum]

Well its about time

Help the aged

[The Nal]

Scaling back actually helped the Stones.

Granted, there were certainly other factors at play, but they had the mobile stage and guest stars up the wazoo at Isle of Wight and came off half cocked.

Compare at the G when they came out lean, mean and frippery free and precipitated a mass epidemic of wobbly knees.

Teva if "Every Breaking Wave" doesn't do it for you mate fuggedabaatit. It's a stone cold U2 classic.

Pretty much the same chorus as Read My Mind by The Killers.

Ouch! Zing.................

Killers fan, Nal? I've never heard that song. Means fuck all.

[The Nal]

Yeah huge Killers fan. Especially the one that gets played by every wedding band before Sex on Fire.

You'd know it if you heard it. No problem with influence. "Everyone nicks it" as Bobby Plant says, but....

From about 55 seconds into this

And about 1.10 in this

Its so similar theres a case for for legal action.

I respect your love for the Killers and your issue with their oeuvre being tarnished.

My own deuce on it is that this Killers song is utter PISH and the U2 one is ace. As Rotten was wont to say... "Next question..."

Fair enough. My take is that The Killers song is utter pish and so is the U2 one, being so similar.

This however, is great fun

As loose and fun as I can remember them. The geezer last week kissing their hands after Gods Country was similarly awesome.
