I know this will offend the hardcore heads on this site who can never say a bad word about U2 but I dont give a DAM ,The remasters of the first 3 albums is a joke there was no need to do it especially with a new album due in 2 months, can you notice the differernce in the new editions? oh wait i can hear an extra symbol in I will Follow,U2 are past masters in ripping off the fans and manipulating the dipsos in to thinking they must have every format with their cunning marketing campagin (BLAME THAT ON FAT CAT McGUINNESS) and there are so many different format of singles, DVDs and Albums Its totally Unnessecary.Ok they are not the only band doing it and nobody is putting a gun to your head to buy it but it just feels that they are pushing US the fans too far and it could end up backfiring on them,PS UABRS due next month also the small matter of a new album to follow can anybody keep up financially?

what they said

"All the Dublin bands seem to have to measure themselves up to U2. It’s like a ritual display of patricide when they start slagging you off. God bless them. They have to put up with being called the new U2, and I don’t blame them. I don’t blame them objecting to having that hung around their necks. The only time criticism stings is when it’s from people who are very smart, or people who you respect. And that, unfortunately, isn’t as common as the other kind." - Bono, 1992
