  1. I had a picture of Mr. Macfisto on my desktop the other day and my brother walk passed and said "Who's that?" and I said Mr. Macfisto and he said "Who?" which made me laugh....
  2. Zoo TV was their best I think.
    They came up with a totally different style in music and show
  3. Zoo TV, although I'm not particularly into either currently, since i'm on an old school blues kick.
  4. Just watched my old PopMart video (VHS) haha, bought it before it came out on DVD.

    Anyway, I haven't watched it for a while and it was incredible, I appreciated it much more this time, I was blown away, you get the feel of something new, something ithing differnt something amazing with each song.

    Absoloutely incredible and I love PopMart a lot more than I did yesterday. Zoo TV had more variety though, more songs...

    I dunno which is better, both are just 100% PERFECTION

    I never understand people that go against the conensus just for the point of going against the consensus. For example, I know people that like bands strictly because not many other people like them, and what do you know, most people don't like the bands because they truly suck, performance wise and writing wise, which to me is why ZooTV was better.


    I never said I actively SEEK OUT stuff the consensus doesn't like.

    I just said my tastes tend to not match the consensus.

    I appreciate your argument.

    Just don't put words in my mouth, bud.

    Sorry man, I actually read/took what you wrote the wrong way I get what you're saying, the thing is I do know poeple (like i said) that do it just for the sake of doing it, and its annoying. Apologies for lashing out a bit, I also appreciated your argument. Gotta love threads like these, its what makes being in a U2 community fun.
  7. I think ZooTV SOUNDED better, as PopMart LOOKED better.
  9. i do prefer zoo t.v to popmart but popmart had some quality moments too......"gone" and "mofo" should still be on the setlist for 360* shows. and i did like the experimental sound system that was used on the popmart tour. i know many people didnt like it, and said that depending where you were in the stadium, depended on the quality of sound you got. zoo t.v is the bollax though..!!
    the arrangement of the songs has never been bettered and neither has edges guitar playing.
    the mocking of the media and bonos alter - ego "macphisto" were simply iconic and i also loved the way most of the songs played on zoo t.v mixed into each other- the action didnt stop.
    if i had to give them a rating from 1-10 it would be........10+ for zoot.v and 8+ for popmart. but still i think both zoo t.v and popmart are better than 360*..........
  10. U2 said the best show for them in its history was in Sarajevo.
    The official DVD live from Sydney Zoo TV is much better than the official dvd Popmart in Mexico City ... Popmart not have been recorded in Mexico City I think that should be recorded in Reggio Emilia with 150 000 people was amazing, or Santiago maybe Sao Paulo ... I became a fan of U2 watching Zoo TV but for me the best Tour and U2's always Popmart too haha

    If the comparison of these two tours was strictly concerning political and social issues, than yes, perhaps you are right. But seeing as how a full comparison should be mostly about the music, (which is why a band goes on a tour..) I'd say you only scratched the surface of the argument, Popmart shouldn't win just because U2 achieved something politically during popmart, more so than ZooTV. Fact of the matter is, to me U2 was at their peak on the ZooTV tour, in terms of musical writing, feeling, and performance, which is why ZooTV wins this argument. I go to a concert to see my favourite band perform live music from the albums I love, I don't go to watch a protest or a political movement. That being said, having U2 as your favourite band requires this kind of factor, and yes it does set them apart from most other artists, and yes it does come into play when discussing their tours, and I do support their political ventures, even during concerts on tours, but again, when comparing tours I'd say 90% of the argument should come down to performance of the music and band, and ZooTV tops em' all.


    Ok then Willie Williams Bono Edge Adam and Larry are people that go against the conensus just for the point of going against the consensus...
    "It's PopMart that stands the test of time to a much greater degree than Zoo TV."

    Way to reply to something I said a long time ago! And they do it in a different way than I described all that long ago. I was referring to people I personally know that like shitty bands just becuase no one else does, so they can be different. Different thing.

    And ZooTV > Popmart, 100 X over. I would fight someone physically to defend that.
