I like XM, but it doesn’t really seem worth it to pay for it when I also pay for Apple Music and use that as my main source of music listening from my phone. Now I’m on the fence. There’s a lot I like about XM, and it gets me to listen to things I normally may not ever hear. Most of the time on Apple Music I just listen to the bands/albums I already know I like.

    Do you guys think this station will actually have interest content, or will it just be the same U2 songs I can listen to anytime I want in other ways? FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS!!!

    Ps- those Japanese fans were probably wondering WTF was going on lol
    Okay, a legitimate question among all of the noise. If the U2 station is anything like Pearl Jam, I think it will be good. I personally won't be getting it because there isn't much else on the programming there to draw me to pay $15 a month - that and single income, 2 kids, and a stay-at-home mom, every penny counts If you are able to swing it, I would say take the plunge for a 6 month trial and give it a go. You never know right? Again, looking at the PJ model, it could be cool.

    What's special about PJ's?
  3. Im really excited about U2 radio!
  4. We will sadly have to wait until 2021 for the next album
  5. Why did they make a world wide announcement for a product only available in the US? Nothing wrong with what they are offering but it seems irrelevant with a non US audience.

    U2 management losing their grip with the fan base.

    Losing grip? Their hands flew off the handle long ago.
  8. I really like my Sirius XM.
    I have it because I drive far to work each day and have time in the car to listen to these so many choices. I loved having the temporary U2 channel this past summer and really happy they are getting their own channel.Likely they will have clips of the guys talking about their favorite music or various songs etc. Good play lists and really cool that it's THEIR channel.
    I am happy about it. The nice thing about this XM is there are comedy channels, politricks channels, bluegrass rock broadway doctor kidstuff etc.....never get bored and I think there i less road rage for me!

    They play a different live version of Even Flow at least two to three times every hour....
  11. To the pacifists and sympathisers u can defend this all u like ... after all that good work touring these parts drumming up interest in the brand that is U2 thanks to this shitshow of and announcement or publicity stunt they are once again the laughing stock of at least my social network which is large and varied in ages ! It won’t surpass the ITunes bungle but it’s not far from it !!!

    Sounds like you should take it up with Sirius not U2. They’re a laughing stock for getting their own radio station? Did people get angry and Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty too?
