U2

12 times in a year wouldn't make you a nutbar.

It would make you a U2 groupie. Which would make you a total fucking loon.

Which one could you even possibly conceive shagging?

Mullen? The 'Jr' would make me feel a bit, well...

The Edge? In his hat?

Bono? You'd have to shout his name when you came.

I've seen Adam Clayton's cock though.

But you're not a nutbar.

So it's ok.

So.. New album due early'ish next year, I wonder if they would want another crack at the Pyramid? I know they weren't thrilled last time, everything went against them, pulling out with a bad back firet time, terrible weather and jet lag did for them when they played.

I'm speculating, no more, would they fancy launching the new album on the Pyramid like Coldplay did so successfully the following night?

It just struck me that they might want to get a good one under their belts...

Please NO. Over-bloated, massively over self-important - and tax dodging. what a ghastly combination.

I was wondering why the aggressively pro U2 stance, but now I see. You're a nutbar.

Not that that's meant as an insult, it's good to have something you love, but paying and taking the time to see the same band do essentially the same set that often is definitely a clinical something

Next year I'll be going to the Netherlands to see Marillion do a series of three gigs. Three weeks later I'll see them do the same in Wolverhampton. Two weeks after that I'm flying to Montreal to see them do it again. Mad? Probably!

Welcome to the new normal.

I know. Its fucking depressing. Think the standing tickets are about 60 odd quid which is ok.

But the idea that someone with a lot of money can get closer to the stage than an uber fan who can barely afford the cheap ticket price?

"Lifelong fans, thanks for travelling to our gigs from all over the world and buying our albums for the last 30 years. Really appreciate it. However, on this tour, you can't get as close to the band as these guys unless you pay an extra £150 quid each. Oh, and tickets are on sale in a couple of days, two weeks before Christmas so I hope you have the cash ready......like now! - Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry."

Fuck right off.

Nyet, comrade. I suspect the last time I'll ever clap eyes on Bono & Co will be them limping off with their tail between their legs after the Moment of Surrender / Out of Control twofer.

Any money left in the gig kitty will be heading in the direction of Angus Young's bank account - announcement tomorrow depending.

    • There’s a few in there which could go either way or I’m not bothered if I miss but think that’s now be pretty set.  Few rubbish clashes like Kasabian/Loyle plus Reytons/Pixies/CMAT but I’ll head with the lads to the most popular one.   (And yes no Byrne or Twigs, just can’t into either)
    • I saw somewhere they were advertising Lewis' day as him live on Glagow Green and only mentioned Amy Mcdonald and CMAT as support, 0 mention of the festival  I completely agree this will probably be the last one which is a shame because the first 2 seemed so promising and now its turned into middle of the road rubbish with acts you can see everywhere else  Anyone know if the BBC are covering it next week as it'll be fascinating to see how full (or empty) it is  
    • Did anyone catch Viagra Boys last night? A rollicking good set, with a little more free jazz than I expected.   if you’re up early, Walabi is doing a super job in the Cupra Pulse. There till six.

    • They really dropped a bollock on their lineup this year. They went with Richard Ashcroft because he did well as Oasis support - But realistically, you're not getting 50k people in a field to hear the 4 or 5 songs they know at like £70+ a ticket. Can't get my head around the Kasabian booking, either. Finsbury Park was a bold move for them, and yes it sold out, but I think you're more likely to see people make the journey to London if they want to see them rather than Glasgow. A second similar capacity show was always going to be a big ask for them.
