Thank god lol...I was freaking out for a minute that you'd glossed over the blindingly obvious!

Many U2 fans became fans during JT, and remained so during Zoo TV, just with their mouths open. As for the fans who joined during Achtung, they were living in the moment.
Same goes with Coldplay.....and I'll be honest, I'm one of the new fans. The Viva fans, if you will. I'm liking their older stuff via Brixton and Phili and Boston.

Just a question...

What I'm trying to say...I'd like to know some real first hour fans, who have followed U2 since their very first performances in all these small pubs and clubs. I think I would have become a fan during TUF, if I was born in 1960 instead of 1988.
Same goes with Coldplay now...

I became a Coldplay casual with the release of Yellow, but it was only when I heard Fix You that I really sat up and took noticed. Hooked ever since (and with that, I've got hold of most of their albums and am further hooked - absolutely love Parachutes, but Viva is a fine piece of work. Just need AROBTTH now...)
Don't forget, however, that many U2 fans were also fans with the onset of the War era, so how must they have reacted lol? The ones who didn't drop away after the release of TUF (and the ones who did were sure misguidedly to do so, in my opinion), I mean...man, they must have been absolutely mind-blown as AB hit the world...
