1. in my opinion october cant be compared to passengers or zooropa - may as well be a completely different band.

    not a massive fan of october myself. never been a big fan of the first 3 albums to be honest. i like them, just nowhere near certain others
  2. ^ Nothing wrong with October. I love it and I do think its that good of an album with the exception of the last song. Some rock and roll in order there and October delivers it.

    I'd kill to see them play Tommorow. Maybe replace the pipes, with some Harmonica, or some kind of guitar effect.


  4. I think it's only OK. I still think it's their worst album (October 2nd worst). But I have to say I have really started to like a few of the songs, especially Your Blue Room, Elvis Ate America, Slug and Always Forever.

    Couldn't agree more, although I disagree with you about Is That All

    I completely agree with that except I think Boy is a great album.



  7. yeah boy is probably my favourite of the 3 if i had to choose... i think my problem with the first 3 albums is i only like roughly half of each one! each album has some incredible songs and some incredibly mediocre songs so i always find myself skipping through the weak stuff - whereas every album from UF to pop i can listen to and enjoy all the way through bar one or two tracks.

    maybe i'll make a playlist in itunes of all the best songs from the first 3 - now that'd be an album!

    Venue: Rice-Eccles Stadium\

    After a thrilling show, the thousands of people in attendance wait for the encore. The slightly modified Claw is bursting with lights and flashes and suddenly gets dark. All stadium-lights go out and the audience doesn't know what's happening. The screen goes on, black background. Some folks believe they hear the Lemon Perfecto Mix somewhere on the background but they're not sure.

    Suddenly there is some text: Can you reach? it says..the audience is silent anddoesn't know what will come. Can you hold it or control it? it says and there is some cheering at the front end of the audience, near the inner circle. It continues: Can you push? Can you direct it? Can you connect?

    Or can't you get enough of that lovely dovie stuff?

    And all of a sudden Edge and Larry start to play their guitar and drums and Discotheque spreads out over the stadium. The audience goes nuts.

    -------------

    Just a dream, hope it will come true.

    nice - just as long as they play it the way it should be played ala Popmart,,,! everything they did to try and 'improve' that song both live and on the best of album was terrible. it was almost like they messed around with it so much they lost the whole essence of the song... if it aint broke don't try and fix it!

    We share that dream.

    But hey, they opened the 360 encore with UV, so good stuff can happen. One testicle grew back, now it's time for U2 to recover their balls entirely.
  11. hey!! at the end of the day- they will play what they think and feel is right. it would be just the best if they had a fans vote on what certain songs should be included!! but i cant see that happening- can you??? i personally will totally enjoy whatever they decide to play. peace. G.
