Discussion of U2's future: new singles, new tour, etc.

Originally posted by thefly07this album is going to be ridiculous. huge. transcendent. I think it will take their current "band centric" thing going but just blow it back into outer space so we should have such a treat, of course I don't know for sure but I really think it will be their best.

I know, but then again some people (some few, not many) think its not good and shouldnt be played on the next tour. to those, I say shame on you. to me, its their best song. it went from a reggae tune to a lovely rocker. how much better could you get?

sorry 'bout the rant

In my opinion it's not their best, but the reason I mention it is because whenever I've spoken to non-U2 fans, they always bring up at least one of Beautiful Day, Vertigo or ISHFWILF (sometimes One and WOWY, and on an even rarer instance, Streets, unless they happen to be particularly knowledgeable musical types), and since you were talking about public popularity...

God I hope not, the Chilli Peppers did that and people were saying that they did it because they're "big enough" to do it, and to me it smacks of arrogance and UOOA Syndrome (Up One's Own Arse...)...

But shit, that's my opinion! And we're all entitled to our own, hey? (apart from Casper 'cause he doesn't have PopMart...)

PS - thefly07, I really hope you're not losing sleep over this lol!

If the Peppers had put their best songs on one album, it would have been the best album for years.

When did they release Stadium Arcadium?

Thats the Chili Peppers.... remember how they presented themselves onstage at one time. U2 arent the chili peppers. In a way, the Joshua Tree is a double album. take all the songs that are connected with Streets, WOWY and Still Havent Found and some other stuff. Same could go for Achtung and its B-sides. Of all the bands I know, U2 has the most B-sides and miscellanies.

The Rolling Stones came out with Exile On Main Street in 1972. To me its one of their best works. Sure, some of the songs stick out from the album, but all of them are good. The Stones couldve made a single album and put the other songs as B-Sides on singles and have their best album ever.

I just wanna see U2 come out with more than 12 songs on their next album. To me I think theyre superstitious about the number 13....

May 2006. After the first listen, I thought it was crap. But after some more listens, it thought it was brilliant. Not all the songs, but there are many. Like I said, put these best songs together and you have a golden album.

U218 was thus the best release of 2006

Sorry, I just seriously dislike RHCP lol.
