Yes, it was definitely a nationwide hate back then. People had grown to adore the Joshua/R&H era so much that seeing the radical Achtung change wasn't well received at all, not only by the critics but mostly by the general audience. U2 struggled badly to sell out their 92 & 93 shows here (in fact, the Oviedo '93 show was far from sell-out and the Madrid '93 one sold out only after some strong promotion the days prior to the show, if memory serves well). Yep, I guess people are too traditional over here also when it comes to U2 ...
oh my you should have seen the elbowing queues outside the selling point under the snow early in the morning, or better night, to get those Forum tickets hehe
it was not at all like cursing on a confortable armchair in a warm room in front of a monitor hehe
oh dear old times
