  1. didn't think the claw would come downunder, exchange rate and costs etc.....

    twice in 4 years, after a gap of 10 plus - they must really like us now!!!!



  2. just messin' with you...I had a blast, but I was an outsider taking it all in. I was on cloud 9 the whole week.
  3. Well U2 like to announce tours about 4 months before they start so a Feb/March tour of Australia means that it will be announced in October/November...

    And if thats when the official announcement is we should be hearing all kind of crazy rumors and speculation! Im hoping that the Brisbane concert will be at Suncorp Stadium or the Gabba, not ANZ as last time as the transport thing didn't work at all!

    Also just in case an U2 staff ever drop by... If you are worried about transport costs then put on more concerts! If AC/DC can do 2 or 3 stadiums in each city and Pink can do 10 arena shows you can do more than one too!

    Costs...bullocks to me. They're floating in Euros..
  7. Cost should be no excuse for not coming to Australia, playing at the MCG a couple of nights should cover it. Ill be one pissed aussie if they screw us over.
  8. Actually come to think of it U2 are going to come to Australia because this is the obvious place for them to film the concert DVD.

    I know we have the Zoo TVin Sydney but I think that the MCG in Melbourne is the obvious place to record from...

    For starters the Stadium seats 100,000 people which is more than any other stadium used so far and thats not counting people on the field. Secondly the stadium itself is so you can stick the claw in the middle and it will be brilliant. Image this place with the claw in it!

    They go wherever the tour promoter can get a slot. For us it was AAMI Stadium, certainly the worst stadium in Australia, because it's falling to bits and the sound and viewing was absolutely crap - though Adelaide Oval would have been great, just driving straight into the city rather than having to put up with the traffic down at West Lakes because anyone that's been there for Showdown or any concert would know.

    But compared to The Claw, how big is the Black Ice stage?
  10. I believe that the Black Ice stage takes somewhere between 40 and 45 semi's - so nothing close to the Claw's transport requirements

    I've heard mixed reports about the sound at Suncorp. I think it'll be ANZ (or QSAC) again.
