1. good traditions must not be lost .. even if it's expensive
  2. same here, stuck in a moment helped me sort my brain out when i got divorced and 'one' too. barely a day goes by that i dont listen to at least 1 track. shame you missed the war and uf tours. i think that the uf tour that i would most like to have seen, powerful passionate performances, none of this holding back to save his voice nonsense you getb these days, he just belted it out.
  3. Originally posted by JRlovesU2:Like I said, I fell for U2 after hearing their "new" single New Year's Day on the radio in 1983. I was 17 then, 44 now. First live show I saw unfortunately wasn't the War tour or the Unforgettable Fire tour, it was the Joshua Tree tour (july 1987).

    U2 has accompanied throughout my life. Girlfriends, breakups, marriage, birth of my children, divorce, what have you. And I'm sure they will be played during my funeral as well in about 50 years time


    Same here. I haven't always been as into them as I have been the last 10 years or so, but they have been the soundtrack to my life, nonetheless.

    Yeah, I've always wished that I was born much earlier than 1995. I got into U2 at a very early age of 5.. As soon as I heard Beautiful Day in October 2000, that was me, favourite band ever since.


    As for me, my first U2 experience must have been around 1998, when my father bought The Best Of 1980-1990. We listened to the record in the car, and I remember being astonished, from the first Pride notes to the last October ones.
    However, that did not go further until 2005. My parents only had this best of and War at home, so... but when the Bomb came out, I really liked Vertigo, Sometimes and City of Blinding Lights. Afterwards, I got the album, and from then on, I really have become fond of the band.

  8. Am I the only person who wishes Chevy would bring back the El Camino?
  9. I'm watching Come Dine With Me (a cookery competition TV programme in the UK) and there is an American U2 fanatic on it. She said "I've been a U2 fan since 1985 and one time when I met Bono in New York, he said "you again!?""
    There's a commentator on the programme too, and when she arrived at the guy's door, he said "Here comes Bono's stalker".
    Also, before the commercial break, he said "John tries to offer Lyn desire". U2 hints there.

    Irrelevant to anything, I know, but I'm just bored and felt like posting it.
  10. My lesbian neighbors asked me what I wanted for my birthday. They gave me a Rolex. I think they misunderstood when I said I wanna watch.

    Isn't this so funny?

    Ah well, just a way to restart this chat
