  1. If Bono was not feeling up to the tour we would have noticed by now. On Photo's he's looking ok.

    Isn't it a Guy Oseary thing to hold a lot of cloack and dagger on the tour. I'm not that worried. In fact i can't wait........
  2. I'm not too worried about Bono not being fit, or even that they've slipped out of the limelight after they had so much fuel to use with that release. It's more just that weird feeling that it doesn't feel like they're about to embark on a tour.
  3. I hope it's a rough opening. That way they don't get time to overthink.
  4. Originally posted by patssox95:As far as USA goes, the 360 tour and success(financially) was built from the positive buzz from U2's previous 2 tours, the spectacle of this new stage and a chance to experience U2 in all its grand U2ness in an outdoor giant stadium setting for first time, at least in USA, in 12 years. Since then they have released extremely poor received back to back albums, weakest since before War. Also Beautiful Day, Vertigo, COBL, Elevation got much radioplay, still do, and nothing from last two albums have come close to it....Also, yes, U2 are trying to cash in. It comes off as a total money grab, but, they are getting old. I will allow it. Now this tour could just be a feather in the cap of their career but I am really holding out hope that this will be the best received/reviewed tour of their careers, to continue to try for the homerun every night. OK, Zoo was just some other monster that if aliens landed in a time machine and want to experience a live rock show then that is the first place I would send them. But for us U2 fans, I am hoping this "experience" will be THE pinnacle, the one that we will mention in 30 years when young'ns ask about U2.
    Your opinion and mine of "weak reception" seem to differ.
  5. well, the only thing I'm worried about is bono and his health. yes, they probably know what they're doing and he's gonna be ok, but I can't help feeling a bit weary for him /shrugs

    we'll see.
  6. But think about this. Do we really want U2 to release a weekly update regarding Bono's recovery?

    "BIG NEWS: Bono Spends Hours In Physical Therapy, Just As Scheduled"
  7. I don't want weekly updates on his health I'd have felt better had they just postponed the tour for a month, that's all. he suffered some heavy injuries, but they reassured the public asap that everything would continue as planned and that had me a little sceptical, but yeah... am not a doctor, just a concerned fan

    There's plenty of pictures of him lately showing no signs of complications, there's even a couple of seconds of video footage of him clapping at the end of a football match, there's been a couple of shows added to the tour, he's been travelling and there are reports of the band rehearsing since a few weeks ago... so I really can't see a reason to feel uneasy about his health at all.
  9. sorry, can't shake it

    Were all human, and Bono is human. But what fact made you panic?
    He will be fine and they will have found a solution to give him less stress. I would love it if Edge sings a few songs for instance.
  11. I know he's not 27 anymore but he played on with a dislocated shoulder, he recovered from back surgery in 2010... He will be fine and we will hear soon that they are rehearsing some gems such as Last Night on Earth, Gone, Acrobat, mofo, heartland, Running to Stand Still as well as most of SOI. Let's stay positive.
