    Oh fuck! That's been like, what, 5 years ago already? I think it was for the 23th anniversary of the Point Depot shows, wasn't it? Damn, we should have made that petition. I still have that U2Tour.de email explaining to me how they got the band to release Slane with their signature petition and all.
    Dude....we still totally should.

    Along with the Tempe show now that we've seen some more footage of it

    I'm still on my good old job from home (6 hours), and complementing it with a more standard job at an office (8 more hours plus going back and forth from home)... Pretty tiring but bills don't pay themselves

    How about yourself?
    Working at the same agency for the last few years, building up some cred and assisting a few of our agents here in confirming shows / tours and issuing contracts for all of our artists. It's tiring but it can be fun. Like any job, the daily grind is irritating and frustrating but when you take a step back and look at what you're doing, it can be very rewarding!

    Also the amount of shows I'm at is staggering
  3. rumours are true? single on monday, new record in september and tour in OCTOBER? Please write me yes
  5. Yep the new single is going to be called Holy Joe's Shark Soup.

    The upcoming album is called Edge on Fire, meant to be a sequel to The Unforgettable Fire. It will be a dense record that people will misinterpret as a dance record.

  7. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't singles usually come out like a month or two (at the latest) before the release and not like a full season before?
  8. Remember this one?

    Radio station Triple M's Nui Te Koha claims that an announcement of a March 2016 arena tour to Australia is imminent within the next couple of weeks.

    This is usually the case. But it is U2 here.

    Invisible kind of dropped in the middle of nowhere to throw a bone for us to chew on!
  10. So I had my audition last night...

    Rolled in, and the drummer set up his gear for about a half hour while I soundchecked through my board and set levels on my amp. When all was said and done, we were still waiting on the other band members, so he suggested we goof around on the intro of Streets, just to make it go as smoothly as possible when the other guys got there.

    Ended up ripping through the entire song, pretty much flawless on the first time through. We were honestly both shocked!

    So the other guys show up - their Bono is HILARIOUS (named John, so everyone at rehearsal jokingly calls him Johno) and a lot of fun to be around. We go through the setlist and gelled so well. Everything was just falling perfectly into place, to the point where I was even calling out random songs from behind my board and we would launch right into them. Here's the setlist we ended up playing:

    Until the End of the World
    Mysterious Ways
    Stuck in a Moment
    Vertigo
    Where the Streets Have No Name
    Desire
    Angel of Harlem
    Elevation

    By the end of Elevation, Johno and I were playing off each other, very similar to how Bono and Edge have chemistry on stage. Smiles all around, LOT of fun was had.

    Got a call about an hour later, and I'm in Gotta learn something like 35 songs over the next several weeks, as my first gig will be August 8 (coincidentally the real Edge's birthday). Can't wait to be keeping you guys posted on everything!!

    Do you use Discogs to buy collectibles? I should start to buy cassettes as they're relatively cheap.
    Cassettes are cool! Though I don't have anything to play mine on anymore.
  12. That's awesome, Matt! Congratulations
