  2. People think that he should just shut the f*** up and sing that’s all
    Or....if he’d rather talk then stop singing
    No more no less
  3. I think when it comes to the speeches the problem is on the same tour it’s quite often the same ones repeated over and over. Because it’s so easy to listen in and watch videos, listen to bootlegs etc then it can maybe come across not quite as sincere the 50th time but that’s what’s required to spread the message to people who don’t follow every show and I’m sure whatever message Bono is getting across is important to him both the artistic messages and humanitarian ones. The message just comes across more powerful the first time round to us as listeners. I did used to think along the lines of less talking would mean more songs but in fairness we do get a good length of Setlist regardless and I think some of the talking bits give the band much needed breathers during the show so I think we get a more than fair deal.
  4. The speeches did used to be more spontaneous than they are now.
  5. Well I think so too
    And the speeches are for taking breath too
  8. Not sure if right topic/already posted, but here is an excellent breakdown of IGC by Rick Beato (great channel!)

  12. Great quote from a great article..

    "You have to be OK with the fact that this isn’t cool, it isn’t what you should be listening to, and yet it makes you feel something. It is the modern dilemma – how can something be so large, so commercial, so watered down, yet still feel so personal.

    To stand in the crowd in a U2 show is to be surrounded by absolute dorks, to know that you are one too, and to feel the strength in those numbers.    "
