  1. I hope that's not gonna lead to even more verbal fights over here
    (Funny / Totally inappropriate )


  2. Thats what we need to do, lighten this situation. I know it's disappointing and stressful for those affected but speculation isn't going to change what's going to happen anyway. Just my thoughts


  3. Or just because they were scheduled to be in SLC right now if everything had been going according to the original plan - and so they don't drive to a location where somebody else's trucks are parked right now ... at least until they get some new order.
    But you could be right

    take everything I ever post(al 19,000 of them) with a big dollop of sarcasm.

    On a serious not. Could you imagine the logistics of getting this thing running again? Venues may be booked for newly proposed dates, all those workers, all those trucks, the ships booked to get the stuff to Europe. Must be a pain

    Yes, it must be. I think also the crew must be facing some uncertainty about Bono's recovery time, so I guess they are having some tough times now.
    I'm with you on the thought that we should wait for an official announcement by u2.com. While I enjoy updates from Greg (and also thanked him explicitly for that) the news he gets from a truck driver should in my opinion be taken with a pinch of salt. These guys, they sure know how to joke
  8. Thanks Sergio, that was hilarious!
  9. That was fantastic. I think I'd pay to see that...even (especially) if he had a perfectly fine back.
  10. Link sent from my friend Barbara. Do'nt know how much truth to it all, but I think it's worth posting..

    As for me, I'm still sort of down about the whole thing. It's taken alot of planning and money on my end to get this summer together. Now I'm just telling myself there's nothing I can do, I already might have lost money because I purchased some Tickets on ebay, I'm just gonna go out and have some fun!! I think I'm going to keep my summer plans. What would Bono want us to do.??
    I hope he feels better soon and recovers well. I'm praying for him everyday.
    As for the gigs I'm gonna miss. I don't know what's gonna happen at the moment. I'm not sure I'll be able to see them all because I teach. The summer was perfect for me. Just gotta wait and see!!

    U2 may cancel concerts until fall after Bono's back operation

    "The second leg of U2's 360 tour is up in the air after Bono's back injury
    After Bono's emergency back surgery, U2 may be forced to cancel their tour until the fall.

    The singer was injured when he fell on stage while rehearsing in Munich and was rushed to hospital where he was operated on.

    He is said to be making a good recovery but plans for the tour, set to open in Salt Lake City in June, are now on hold.

    Manager Paul McGuinness stated that the band will "reinstate the dates" that they will be forced to miss.

    It has not been a happy 50th birthday aftermath for Bono, who was hyped up about the resumption of the tour when he spoke at the American Ireland Fund dinner in New York two weeks ago.

    Given Bono's need to be highly mobile while on stage, a back injury and surgery could be very tough for him to overcome.

    The tour resumption was set to feature several changes in the band's on stage act.

    The U2 360 Tour had just paid for itself last year and was set to capitalize on very positive advance bookings when the injury happened to Bono."

    Impossible. Come on, Bono had a slipped disc - that's as close to death as you can get.
    He will never be able to get on stage again.


    A slipped disc can be easily fixed. Don't get paniced here. He ain't dead: he has a problem with his back. That's it. Just wait and see when the tour will continue.
