  5. all hail the old brigade , those of us that worshiped the ground that U2 treked across before the internet. those of us who when they were on tour couldn't simply log on to find a decent boot. those of us that still think a 12'' single is actually 12'' and pressed on vinyl. those of us whose only outlet to talk about U2 shows was when we were standing in line to buy tickets , yes can you believe we stood in line for tickets in the cold ,wind , rain, heat , whatever it was it didn't matter, we were there waitng. Bootlegs were few and far between,but when you found a store that had a few, no matter what the cost you bought them all ,took them home and played the absolute hell out of them . no matter what the sound quality was. We remember October and the critics be dammed , but it was all we had we listened and we loved it and we still do . we can recall the very first time we hears Bono exclaim "There has been a lot of talk about this next song lately very to much talk . this song is NOT a rebel song ,...this song is sunday bloody sunday. Yes do you remember it all you old fogies out there. we have what a lot of these guys don't memories apon memories , I could go on and on and on "am I buggin you ... Don't mean to bug you..ok edge play the blues.. so stand up and let your voices be heard tell your tales and let these kids in on what it was like all those years ago. there are "kids" on this site That I have the utmost respect and admiration for , and they havent even seen a show Utube and dvds that is there live experience. DIEHARDS thats what we are . wev'e lived through it all and still are here , even after POP . long live you all and long live U2

    You lost me at "All hail the old brigade."

    Just kidding. Although I'm not too much younger than you, we all respect that you guys stuck with the band when it was much more difficult to do so.

    I've noticed in the 'Most Popular Albums' topic it's nearly always in the middle. And often in the top 4.
    Due a re-evaluation by everyone who wrote it off I think. (Except Miami, which is clearly crap )
  11. 23 next Thursday
