    But are there really people who send an e-mail to U2.com ?


    They will be the people who constantly complain about everything. For example, a lady in my street complains about everything. She once complained about how the postmen keep dropping elastic bands (even when it's done by accident). I hate those kind of people.
  2. I wonder when will Drewbee Higgins find an avatar that would stay more than 24 hours..........


  3. I believe Neil Gaiman said it best when in response to a reader's question about George RR Martin's lack of progress on the promised new novel in his series. He said, "George RR Martin is not your bitch. He doesn't owe you anything."

    And so, I say to U2 fandom: U2 are not your bitch. They don't owe you anything. Creativity is not a tap that can be turned on at will. Sometimes shit takes time. Either wait, or do something else. But don't go around thinking that just because they said there's a new album coming out that there actually be one in anything other than U2's own timeframe.

    If their timeframe wasn't so ahem, devoid of linearity, then perhaps people wouldn't get so pissed off.
  5. I love changing my avatar and I'll change it again just for you, Sergio.


  6. You can be annoyed, you can be whatever you like. Hell, I get irritated with the whole will-they-won't-they schtick.

    But as soon as we start acting like this or any other artist owes us anything, that's when we start being Those Fans, the creepy, entitled ones.

    You misinterpreted my original question. I don't feel anyone I don't know owes me anything.
    I was simply wondering if anyone said anything to them about their continued delays.

    Also, when you have millions of people who truly love your work, it's just not very considerate to tease. Say nothing or give a release date, a la Radiohead.

    Hmm...maybe you saw me going round and collecting them? lol

    Our postman used to drop elastic bands everywhere and I'd go around (I'm about 12-13 at the time) and make rubber band balls. Win.

    I was about to watch Network tonight, God Rest him.
  11. Wow Bono mentioned the exact town I'm from in the Glasgow 360 recording!!. Been avoiding that one for a while since I was in the hospital at the time and couldn't go But would have been awesome to be there! Reckon my head would've exploded hearing that
  12. So just a quick question, and I'd probably be able to answer this for myself if I took some time to look, but I know others around here can probably answer for me

    Have tickets to the first Montreal show this summer, and the Toronto show. The way it goes is:
    Montreal - July 8th
    Montreal - July 9th
    Toronto - July 11th

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like U2 tends to be more experimental currently on the 2nd night of a city that they're playing. I really hope this isn't the case, because I'd rather not miss something like Bad or whatever, but then if they ARE more experimental the second night, does that usually carry onto the next city if there's only 1 performance in that next city? What I mean is, if the show on the 9th has more experimental material, will the show on the 11th have aroudn the same set?

    Or am I looking at seeing 2 of the same shows with a bit of a conservative setlist? Right now it's almost impossible to tell, seems like very show is totally different.
