Not too many people want to go watch a documentary about a couple of old guys playing guitar. It sounds like crap when I put it like that, but that's how a lot of people under 40 will view it. I remember seeing David Gilmour's Live at Albert Hall dvd at the local theatre (they had it in IMAX, and they didn't have U23D, can you beieve it?) and there was barely anyone there. Maybe 8 people in the whole theatre. I doubt "It Might Get Loud" will do much better.


    idk man, Jimmy Page will grab people of all ages, Led Zep is pretty big in all age categories, and Edge and Jack White are also huge draws....i see where you're coming from but this one seems foolproof to me haha, not saying it's gonna win any Oscars though...it will probably do the best in NYC and LA though


  7. Haha.

    That aside, Edge looks so old here! He was always the youngest looking one! What happened?

  8. Never mind Edge (age comes to us all y'know! And besides, I'd say he's just getting a little beard going these days, nothing that drastic), check out Clooney's tash in the link Dan posted lol! I dunno whether I prefer Roy Keane's badger beard or that!


  9. I guess he gets older eh...and be happy about that, otherwise he would be dead.




  10. Crikey, a bit of grey in your beard does not make you look old in my opinion. Looks good as far as I'm concerned. He is well into his 40's.

    U2 frontman and lead guitarist Bono and Edge have marked the end of the Point Depot and the opening of the new O2 Arena in a special feature for RTÉ's 'The View'.

    The band filmed part of their 1988 rock epic film 'Rattle And Hum' at the Point and also rang in the New Year in 1990 there during a series of concerts as part of the 'Lovetown Tour'.

    As part of a special 'View' feature to be broadcast next week (Tuesday, 16 December, RTÉ 1), Bono and Edge took a tour of the new venue and spoke about U2's long association with it in its previous incarnation. The pair also performed the song 'Van Diemen's Land', which was the first music ever performed in the old Point Depot and now becomes the first to be played at the new O2 Arena.


    AdvertisementSpeaking about the original Point, Edge said: "It was still in its original condition as a railway depot, but it was absolutely amazing looking and we said wow - this is exactly the kind of place we want, something really about Dublin City and where we came from."


    Bono added on the 1990 gigs: "It was a joyous occasion to be with all your family and friends in Dublin. It's a sociological event, not a gig. It's a tribal thing... and then to realise this might be it. This might be as far as the U2 story goes unless we can dig deep and draw into a different well. And we did in the end. It's a pivotal place for us."

    They also revealed their admiration for the new venue, which has been brought about by developer Harry Crosbie.

    The Edge said: "This configuration is as good as you'll see anywhere in the world. It's an amazing achievement and we wish Harry the very best of luck with it. I'm sure it will see some fantastic nights to beat anything it's seen up to now."

    Bono added: "And we'd better be one of them..or two...or three!"
