Totally. I just liked some of the stuff from ATYCLB but knowing there was better stuff out there and being on this site really made it even more so for me to be a bigger fan and become a U2 nut. Not so much lately with new stuff coming out by others but really, U2 is always a part of my life and always will be - sure, they're just a band but to me they're something more.
Not too much...4th of July here in the States means massive parties, fireworks, and tons of drinking...all of which shall commence for me within the next hour or two, hopefully- even though its only 3 in the afternoon here!
Getting ready for my big U2 GA day tomorrow. How're you?
I'm epically fine, I visited a record shop today, and when looking through the U2 vinyls, there it is, ACHTUNG BABY! In a nice condition. Price: 89 Swedish Crowns (about ten Euro), I put it back, thinking it was a little pricey. But I felt that I couldn't walk away from it, and now it is, here on my left on the desktop
That is literally the Holy Grail of ALL Holy Grails. I always haphazardly check the vinyl racks at record stores for it just as I'm flipping through the U2, but I only ever find 9 copies of Under a Blood Red Sky and a few Unforgettable Fires.
