U2 - Page 217

i used to really like them, but i think i just grew tired of them (though i still love Achtung Baby). i'll probably get the album sometime, but i'm not going to rush out and buy it

heyyyohhh · 09-09-2008, 12:55 AM

I LOVE U2! I'm definitely going to be buying the new album when it comes out, and like you, I'm already planning on saving money to get tickets. I haven't been to any of their concerts yet but I know it'd be an experience I'll never forget! Seeing U2:3D was a pretty awesome experience in itself; I can only imagine how much more so it'll be being at an actual concert!!!

They're also out of this world live. Saw them in 2005 in Philadelphia. Really my first proper rock concert, in terms of music that I myself like. I even sat BEHIND the stage and thought it was incredible. They're the only band that can play an end stage, have people sit behind them, and still make everyone feel a part of the show. (Also, those seats were only $49.50...not too bad for a concert these days--though it was only because Ticketmaster sucks that I got stuck back there.)

haha thats soooo similar to me. i also saw them in '05 and sat behind the stage and it was still a great concert. definately one of the best i've been to. i haven't really been hearing much about their next album so does anyone care to fill me in...?

shouldn't this discussion be in the general U2 thread. ? As in here: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/sho...=1491&page=209

They were my favourite band for a long time. I still really enjoy them, and will buy their album as soon as it comes out.

Their concert I went to on the Vertigo tour is the best concert I have ever gone to.

chuck kottke · 09-09-2008, 06:02 AM

They are simply fantastic!! To sustain that level of enthusiasm is remarkable, and with great sincerity - perhaps the next album will perk more interest? Anyhow, they are the stuff of legend.

Basically, there was just a lot of talk that it would be coming out the end of this year, like November or December. And also rumors that the album is called 'No Line on the Horizon.' But then they came out of the official site with this:

http://www.u2.com/news/index.php?mode=full&news_id=2249

So, looks like we're forced to wait another few months! But if this quote is any indication, Bono thinks it to be scary good:

‘The last two records were very personal, with a kind of three piece at their heart, the primary colours of rock - bass, guitars and drum. But what we’re about now is of the same order as the transition that took us from The Joshua Tree to Achtung Baby.’

mountainloafers · 09-09-2008, 02:29 PM

I love them... Cant wait for the new album. I too am a little "miffed" that the release date got pushed back but I am still gonna buy it right away.

Plug_in_coldplaying · 09-09-2008, 05:52 PM

Id bother myself going,but they dont bother to come and visit my country

Denise · 09-09-2008, 08:35 PM

Def buying the album and going to (hopefully) more than one concert and (again hopefully) also outside my country, better if it's Ireland

My first proper rock concert was U2 in 2005 as well, tough I was second row at Edge's B-stage..it's still the most amazing concert I've ever been to

I agree

Black Rose · 09-09-2008, 08:59 PM

I will prob download the album and prob won't see them, as they have a habit of charging way over the odds

zsub · 14-09-2008, 04:23 PM

MrMagpie · 14-09-2008, 05:59 PM

Black Rose · 14-09-2008, 07:45 PM
