  1. Golf, and soccer on breaks in school, I'm really very good at soccer (played it for 7 years).
  2. I think ATYCLB is the album I listen to the least. Some songs are excellent live though, without the horrible studio sound.


  3. Why you dont play it anymore then ?

    Me and some friends made a friends team and we arent really good, but at least we enjoy it
  4. Nice bart How long have you been playing football?

    As I said a few days ago here, I'm not sporty at all. Tried a few sports, but none of them really attracted me after a year or two of practising. I love football though, I'm interested in football news and love playing it just casually with friends.


    @Olof : Songs are amazing live, especially thanks to the work they did on the Elevation Tour. I should listen to more bootlegs from it, the ones I listened were amazing.
  5. I played it from my 5th until my 16th, then I quit for 2 years and now Im going into my second year with this team.

    And indeed the Elevation tour really had some amazing shows, I should listen to more bootlegs too. Ive made myself a compilation of 360 2009 and 360 2010 and I really enjoy listening to it
  6. 360 is an amazing tour too, in a different way than Elevation. I'll remember for a long time how they came back stronger than ever in 2010, the Turin setlist party was a priceless moment to live.

    I don't play it anymore because it got too serious. Coaches motivated us with best-in-the-world kind off stuff. Practice wasn't fun anymore.

    When I discovered golf, I lost my wish to be the best football/soccer player ever. Golf is much nicer to play.

    A shame I came in a few shows later

    @ Olof: Yeah I thats the same reason I quite for 2 years, I just do it for fun and I know I wont be a professional, so why so serious
    Now its just about the fun and that is good

    I definitely agree with your views on War Kieran.

    Olof, I understand what you mean, although I believe I prefer overproduced to too underproduced. But there, it's just a matter of taste.

    Fabian, I would have a ranking a bit similar to you I think. I'm glad to see you're sharing my tastes as for the albums


    The 2000s albums are more emotionally loaded. (Is that correct English?) It features juwels like Kite, Miracle Drug, Original Of The Species, Magnificent, Moment Of Surrender, Cedars of Lebanon and White As Snow. Also, the albums are greater than the sum of the parts acting alone. (Synergy)

    The 1990s albums are very good when I want rock. Don't understand me wrong: I like them very much. Achtung Baby is one of the best rock albums ever and when visiting a concert the AB songs are the first I want to hear. Pop features some great pearls. However, they seem to lack the emotions I'm looking for when listening music.

    I want to feel the anger, the desire, disappointment, despair, the misery of the musician and I think ATYCLB and HTDATB are offering the best.
  10. Bart: I can imagine myself playing it in that fashion in a few years.

    Something completely different, I really need to use one of these:

  11. I've got one like that. I hate shaving cream.
  12. Too bad the 2000s albums are so inequals. It's barely understable to have on the same album Kite and Wild Honey, SYCMOYO and Crumbs, MOS and Stand Up Comedy for instance. The strength of the 1990s albums is that all songs (or almost) are great songs.

    I understand your points on feelings. I listen to NLOTH when I feel good (like if I were reborn, don't know if you see what I mean), but other albums, even AB for me, are more melancoholic.
