    What is this "Batman" thing? Is it the theme of the movie, a new U2 song or what? :S


    Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, the soundtrack to Batman Forever.
  2. Hi there!

    I just posted it in another thread.

    I am in search of the following tour diaries from Willie:

    Zoo TV
    Popmart (from Australia to Japan)
    Elevation


    Maybe some one has these diaries on hard disk already or can at least download them and has no problem with to provide to me?

    I have no working U2.com account in the moment. My account ended in 2009 and I didn't had the time to catch all the diaries in time. So it would be great if someone can help!?

    Would be really great!

    Buy the 'Best of Propaganda" book off Amazon- you won't regret it one bit, and reproducitons of his tour diaries from ZooTV and PopMart are contained in the book
  4. Hi!

  6. Never seen it, unfortunately. Would love to take a look at it though.

    Portions of the Vertigo one was available through a blog he set up.
  7. 'Speeding on the Subway...'
    Vienna. Show day.

    Oh dear. I had a series of very strange dreams in the night (the details of which I'll spare you) but when I awoke around 6am, it was clear what was going on - last night's spaghetti frutti di mare was being summarily rejected by every part of my physical being. I haven't had food poisoning for a long time and I am reminded why it is so named. Aside from being sick, I really felt poisoned - debilitatingly so.

    It was raining off and on and I was a complete zombie, so consequently it ended up feeling like a really long day. We don't have any tour buses at present, as everyone is flying these very long distances, so there was just nowhere I could go to curl up and die for a while. I made a few attempts to find places to hide and in the end Sarah from the security office (which for some reason is called 'Moose Lodge' on the 360 tour) took pity on me and basically made me a little nest in the corner where I could at least close my eyes.

    As evening fell the rain eased off but the temperature plummeted, so in tandem with feeling like death warmed up it was also bloody freezing. I'm sure we must have done colder shows at some point in the past, but it was the sudden extreme drop in temperature that took everyone by surprise, to such a degree that it was quite disorientating. Out at front of house during the show, the lads were going through all the flight cases to try to find something - anything - warm to wear. It must have been rough for the audience - first wet and now frozen - but once the gig started they rose to the occasion. The place was packed (in fact we broke the house attendance record at the stadium, apparently) and despite the cold we definitely achieved lift off.

    There were a couple of technical issues from the wet and cold (and in truth some were a hangover from the absolute deluge in Moscow) but it was quite gratifying to note the extent to which the bulk of the equipment just kept going. Remembering PopMart where the giant LED screen would develop spontaneous Technicolor starfields when it got wet, this system seems to be in a different league altogether. Of course the proposition of building one of the largest and most sophisticated 'son-et-lumiere' systems ever devised, then standing it outside, without a roof, in the pouring rain is still completely insane, but at least it seems we’re getting better at it.

    By the time we reached the end of With or Without You I was seeing double, so I decided to do my own runner back to the hotel and go to bed. It seemed that the path of least resistance would be to just take the U2 line train from outside the stadium, so I headed through the crowd to the nearest exit. Some people were already leaving to beat the rush, to find the car, to relieve the babysitter, or whatever other reason. As U2 played Moment of Surrender inside the stadium, everybody outside was singing along. I walked alongside them, into the station, up the escalators, onto the platform, into the train... I was speeding on the subway, through the stations of the cross... even as the train departed some people continued til the song was done and the energy of the show dissipated all over Vienna.



    The lesson in all this surely is to ALWAYS have the Wiener Schnitzel
  8. Any recent entries?
  9. Yep, there is this one about how willie brought up the idea of scarlet and he makes a brief mention about how they should give fez a shot...

    NO WAYYYY!!!!!! I really really hope they do. Man i've been waiting for that since the tour started! Best song off of NLOTH in my opinion.
  11. Sounds like they really do take his advice quite seriously...honestly, with his mention, and hopefully with a little more persuasion, we'll see that happen in another leg or two.

    I find it funny that Willie seems to know what the hardcore fans want more than U2 do. I guess that makes sense though, because Willie is a hardcore U2 fan while U2 is U2
