    i'm sure he is, but Willie Williams blessing is not the same as the bands. And yeah there are lots of unofficial books, just like there are lots of bootlegs being sold. I remember there was an unofficial book written by a friend of the band - mentioned in U2 at the end of the world - and the author was more or less blacklisted for a while.

    Bottom line - I would rather my money go to the band.


    i hear ya

    I just think that Matt McGee is credible and has noble intentions

    and I want to say one more thing, U2 Live by Pimm is an awesome book, a bible..
    bye friends


    For setlists and such, Pimm's book is great. And the "Stories Behnd the Songs" book is good too...

    I was on the @u2.com forum for a long time and he said he had only met the band once or twice as a fan......

    true.



    Because books are written about a subject, person and/or band and bootlegs are recordings being sold OF the band for profit.

    That is the difference.

    They said that 'sharing' recordings is okay. SELLING is not.
  4. Originally posted by Guenther:Some one who doesnt know the band is making money of the band by writing a book. I see this as no different than someone selling bootlegs. I wont buy it, but to each their own.....


    Selling bootlegs is illegal. Writing a book is not.

    It's damn great, my most valued U2 item without any doubt
  6. Anyone else got a hold of this book yet? Both Borders and Barnes & Noble here in the US told me it wouldn't be on sale until October 31.
