    Isn't that what Bono has been doing with ONE for almost 15 years now? I know it's obviously very different things but you get the point.

    (I kind of agree with you btw)

    Completely agree why they made such a big fuss about it especially when they are playing a gig in Japan is beyond comprehension, also it's not necessary to have a station devoted to one band there is streaming platforms for fans to make up their own playlists and they can listen to live bootlegs on sites such as this or watch them on YouTube .
  3. Fucking Y.A.W.N!! Guy has a lot to do with this steep decline and completely out of touch band that they are now!!
    And it’s a bit of a kick in the teeth to u2.Com subscribers who pay every year to get exclusive content and will have to pay an extra subscription service!!
  5. Lets the jokes fly freely now , as that's all this announcement was , a big bloody joke!! And they get what they deserve!

    I want my newly paid subscription back , why should i have to pay more again to hear an already empty echochamber as they DONT release barely anything , and ZERO live stuff unless its been thru a million over dubs by edge and Bono in a studio singing over the top of previous piss poor live vocals !!!! Cant just release a RAW warts an all live album now can we??!!

    This band has lost the plot!

    Never thought i would see the day that u2 became M.O.R dinosaurs!!!
  6. last time they did the sirius thing I was able to listen from the UK without using a VPN? Or I connected to a VPN and then disconnected when the stream started. Either way I'm pretty sure if we tried abroad fans can listen. The live recordings being broadcast will leak online anyway.
  7. The live recordings will probably be stuff from the subscriber sets . That will be there ‘exclusive’ material and some interviews. Unless we’re guaranteed plenty of live stuff we’ve never heard I won’t be interested in it and that’s even if it ever becomes available over here in the uk. Not a big deal for me, not worth getting excited about but not worth getting annoyed about either. On a plus note the elevation broadcast has me looking forward to some complete shows that could be due a commercial release in the next year.

    Comment of the thread!! 100% agree!
  9. I told you all it was lame! And it was. Like the other poster said, a live show in Tokyo is not the place to announce some new North American radio channel which won’t even be live until 2020.

    People would probably be happy if it wasn't for the way they announced it.
  11. It's all Paul McGuinness' fault.

  12. The announcement was not good.

    Very forced.
