Goddamn Funk, you do like U2 don't you? I'd have thought all the shit you get for it would have put you off *L*
I haven't listened to them for years now... you can have all my videos and CDs if you want

If you've read that book At The End Of The World, it sort of dismisses and confirms their pretenciousness in different areas... while also being interesting, good stuff

yes, OLD u2 IS pretty good! i like it a LOT more than their newer stuff... ..in fact, i dont think i like their new stuff at all their older stuff had so much more energy.. and i liked their sound back then more, too
all this fancy high tech production doesn't suit their sound

yes yes, I read that book like THREE times or something!!!!! It's really good!!! :)
I dunno, I don't mind a bit of pretentiousness... as long as it doesn't get out of hand... and personally, I wouldn't really call U2 pretentious...

A lot of people have and do, hehe
I agree with AMinal though, the new stuff is well duff... I don't even like 'Beautiful Day' despite it being used on our weekly football highlights programme!

A Beautiful Day is pretty good, but the rest of the album is pretty crappy...

Under a Blood Red Sky is very good though... it's live, and from 83, and it's very good...

funkmaster,
october is my favorite album too. scarlet, I threw a brick..,is that all, and october are all unforgetable tracks. I have a few bootlegs from this era that are really good. I've got a bootleg(double cd) from around 1989 called st. stephens at the point which is absolute amazing. I also picked up that joshua tree gold disk which seems to be pretty rare. do you collect the old singles from pre rattle and hum era?

not really any more... I kinda lost some interest in U2 over the years, but I still love em... I was into buying singles a while ago though, but I only have Pop, and Achtung Baby singles... I have a cool 4 song live cd with Please, Where the Streets have no Name, With or Without You, and Staring at the Sun on it from the Popmart tour... it's very nice...

as far as the new album goes...when I heard that stuck in the moment song I was tempted to use the disc as a coaster. that song is by far the worst song they've ever done. pretty average album-I wish they would have gone in the direction that eno had them going in passengers. new rem blows away the new u2.

Never been a big U2 fan... Bono's singing always put me off. I rarely hear melodies or singing bits that stick in my head by him. The Edge is a pretty fucking great guitarist, though.

some of the joshua tree singles and rattle and hum cd singles have songs on them that are way better than the new album. they cover unchained melody by the righteous bros. and dancing barefoot by patti smith both are lush.

well, finally bought Passengers... seems like a cool record... this is the style I would've loved U2 to have continued with... more ambienty, instrumental type rock... but obviously they weren't going to do that...

I like 'One'. The lyrics are really depressingly nice. It sounds like they recorded it on that field where those buffalos hang out in the video.
