**The Offical U2 Fan Thread**

The Joshua Tree I can understand, I can see the Biblical reference.... what dismantling an atomic bomb is about I have no clue?? Unless, since they are supposedly going back to thier "roots" this could be a refueling of their political expressions on denouncing violence and war?!

I'm betting that we will all be surprised and the album will have a completely different name than what we're expecting. Something like, Moonshine and Pink Bunnies---now THAT'S a thought-provoking title.

What is more biblical than beating swords into plowshares.....

Beating swords into plowshares? I'm sorry, I'm sleepy and it's late...I think I missed something?

 

[oldrooster]

That would be the biblical metaphor in the title of the new album. That is what I love about their references, they are not in your face, they are there if you are looking for them......

 

[rainbowprism]

You got that from How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb??? Hmmm....where's the scripture for swords into ploughshares? That's sweet.

I am not a great biblical scholar, I believe the book is ecclesiastes.

 

[rainbowprism]

Its from Isaiah. And thats a great observation rooster. Thats one of my most favorite passages, yet I did not think of it in relation to the title.

Hmm..its the Grateful Dead bears...
I remember once when I was very little my dad took me to his friends house and this guy had GD memorablia all over the place. I don't know why I remember that. I guess it just fascinated me.

Ok, so I'm not sharing this to be mean. But I think he looks so cute when he's sheepish, and I think this is a wonderful example of 'grace under pressure'. Enjoy!

I have been fortunate to see U2 for the Boy tour, the War tour, and Popmart. 3 of the finest concerts I have ever seen.....

 

[rainbowprism]

It's official:

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb will be the name of the next U2 album. There's a new pic of the band on the U2 website! Yeah!

Poor thing. It looks like it took a little out of him.

Hehe, he does look a wee bit stunned doesn't he? And to add insult to injury, while he's lying there someone cops a feel of his bum! Maybe that'll be me this tour... (j/k--I think)

 

[rainbowprism]

Old Roos...tell me bout Popmart! The video is fabulous...everything is so colorful, it must have been amazing live! Very jealous. Hows come you didn't make it to Elevation tour?

 

[rainbowprism]
