**The Offical U2 Fan Thread**

wuts yalls favorite u2 song?

It could be about The Edge's child who is ill and they had to delay the first leg of the tour...but it's probably refering to the ticketing fiasco which made a lot of their most loyal fans very angry.

Thanks. I think your first reason is right. I looked at @U2.com and that's what they're speculating. I didn't realize the rumors about illness in Edge's family were true. I'm very sorry to hear this, and I'll be praying for them.

U2 is one of the best in my book.

The whole Best Of the 80's cd and Walk On, "sometimes..", and many more...

 

[Neenie]

My prayers go out to Sian. I don't know how they can go on tour in this situation, I know I wouldn't. Hopefully them deciding to go on tour is a sign Sian is getting better, I don't know.

"U2 - Zoo TV" is listed under the "Recent Artists and Projects" heading. Abbey Road is the studio made famous by the Beatles, of course, and is now a premiere audio/video mixing and mastering studio. Check the fine print on the Boston Elevation DVD and the Slane Castle DVD -- both were remastered there. Doesn't seem like too far a leap to think this "Recent Project" is a Zoo TV DVD, especially in light of the recent reports from U2tour.de and Record Collector magazine that a "U2 DVD Box Set" will be released in May. Stay tuned... ---February 14, 2005@U2.COM

I hope popmart is released in this "DVD Box set" I've been hanging for it since it first come out (it was supposed to be released in 1997)

Sweet a DVD box set...how much is that gonna cost? I just realized my best of the 80's has October as a hidden track...how cool is that?

 

[California Dreamin']

I always liked U2 but my boyfriend has me hooked!

 

[The Bad Templar]

I just got 10/10 in Neenie's U2 test.

It's about time! I always make sure every U2 album has been played right to the end! There is sometimes an odd addition at the end of an album. At the end of "The Wanderer" on zooropa it had a weird alarm noise, and at the end of "wake up dead man" there is a hidden message when it is played backwards, which is a lyric from "Van Diemans land" can't remember exactly what though....

I just got 10/10 in Neenie's U2 test.

Awesome! I'm glad you did.

 

[Macewindu77815]

I think I got a 9/10 in that test...I missed the Live Aid question...

 

[Neenie]

That being 1985. I can't even remember the questions I put. But I love that hot looking pop promo pic.

I just found out that Bono has been nominated for Nobel peace prize. There are 166 nominees and this is the second time he has been nominated. A bit better than rolling stone awards.

So what songs is everyone anticipating to be played live on the new tour? I'm really looking forward "streets" and "sometimes". I hope the intro of streets is just as good as the last tour - that gave me goosebumps. I really think popmart had the best version of streets, I just loved the opera he did at the start. Amazing....

I think "City of Blinding Lights" will be a great song live. Oh - you- look - so- beautifulllllllll - tonight! I can hear it now!

Love and Peace or Else should be good, too.

I actually have a live recording of COBL they did at the Brooklyn bridge concert. It's an audience recording that is hard to hear, but it still sounds awesome! The start of it sounds different to the album version because of the guitar - which gives me goosebumps when the drums come in.

I hope you can go to a show this year or get the DVD.

Well, they aren't coming anywhere near Texas, let alone Dallas, on the announced tour so far.

 

[SeanT]

Great stuff from them this year. Their hummanitarianism should be noted highly. These guys are great!

 

[indigo tree]

Zoo TV!! I want! *drools all over keyboard*
I'm glad Bono got the nod for the peace prize this year. But I'm not entirely sure he'll get it just yet.
Mary- Don't worry, they're not coming any where near where I am either, but thats just so far.
