    Completely agree there...

    Yes I agree. U2 are the most amazing band in the world but to suggest that they have influenced club music is just plain and simply WRONG!

    I have been a DJ for 7 years in Manchester and London in the UK and the big players in this scene probably dont even know who Bono is. I have also been heavily involved in this scene and it is a VAST scene which spans the world- its fairer to say IT has influenced U2- not the other way round!!


    they might not have influenced them but i am almost 100% positive that your big players in the UK know who Bono is. If you are a musician you pretty much know. I myself have been DJing since 1997 and I knew of U2 (not Bono in particular) but U2 and the songs long before breakbeats/trance/ progressive house.
  3. i see my Pop comment is somewhat controversial...

    lol i know. wonder if that's a new song he's jamming to, I suspect so but maybe not. whatever it was, there was some fancy finger work going on. "chatting with fans" was quite the overstatement
  12. For those with a decent knowledge of sound: Hopefully it doesn't end up too "sonically-produced" like much of the stuff recently released or recorded overly loud - meaning that it distorts and hisses badly intentionally which many wouldn't notice but some people do pick it up. I'd be guessing someone like yeah would have an idea of what I'm talking about.

    I wouldn't mind a concept album, to be honest. U2 haven't really made one yet, but I'd like to see what their take is on that sort of idea. From that video with whoever it is sitting at the mixing desk, I think they were using GarageBand or ProTools.
