  3. We all know in the end there's going to be one album and one album only. The only seperate album there'll be is the spiderman-soundtrack, and I doubt U2 will be the ones recording it.
  4. Billboard just said on Twitter: "After the concert in Brazil on Sunday, U2's 360° Tour will become the highest grossing tour in history".

    awwwwwwwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    I wonder how much of that money is actually going into the band's pockets. That'd be an interesting number.


  8. Did the same for my own self; my dad helped me build a huge elaborate helicopter out of K'nex when I was very young...

    Anyway, talk about being OT. U2 is starting to wear me out, which is why I've not been around so much this week. Staying away from this weekend's shows, too, only checking in afterwards to see the set instead of following it live. Gotta try to work that excitement back up- following every single live show isn't going to do that.

  9. As at the Capetown shows, the tour had grossed $519,599,484, and at the end of the tour in 2011 should have done somewhere around $750,000,000 - €9 million is going for charity (not sure if this is at 2009, 2010 or 2011 end) at the minimum as well as the venues making $150,000 per show - again, I'm not sure whether the band gets a cut of that.


  10. Well, I'm pretty sure they're doing it for free.

    Yeah I feel you. I've stopped following the live shows really, going through a JT phase right now. I think I might ignore setlists up until the concerts I'm attending in June. This tour has been going on so long that I'm not nearly as excited as I was a year ago, when I still thought I was seeing them THAT summer. The whole postponement thing was a huge bummer, and a buzz kill. Obviously I really felt bad for the B-man and everything, and I know they probably realize how much of a ravine it's thrown on the tour, but yeah, it's just really lame. Hopefully the shows offer something different when they get to North America.

    Also have my fingers crossed for an Achtung Baby remaster this year. Super Deluxe set with the Outside Broadcast feature on Blu-Ray would be UNREAL.
  12. As Ale said on the other topic, U2 just met with President Dilma a few hours ago in Brasilia.

    Here you'll find some pics of the meeting:

    And here's a video of our guys arriving there...



    At the meeting, Bono talked with Dilma about poverty, politics and he said he's very sad about the yesterday's incident in Rio de Janeiro, where a guy got into a school and killed 12 kids in a premeditated act.

    Now they're heading to Sao Paulo (or just arrived here)...
