  1. How can anyone complain about Zooropa being played lol^^ They have balls again after some time, this song is obviously pretty hard to play live and it wasn't perfect for sure, but damn it man its ZOOROPA! The crowds reaction was pretty poor, they obviously didnt know the song, but there are many mainstream songs for that so they can afford to play one unusual song... CREDIT FOR TRYING BRILLIANT SONG FROM BRILLIANT ALBUM, if you dont like that, you dont know whats good ;p maybe 24x IALW would be better for you xD

    +1

    Zooropa was great imo. Of course they still have to work on it but just look at the lightshow during the song. I also like Bonos voice on Zooropa.

    I agree with you. I think the sheer shock of them playing this song is just creating some kind of buzz around here.
  4. First and foremost, let's just hope it's a great gig for the 70k who are gonna be in the stadium tonight, and then the people in Brazil and around who couldn't make it but are listening on the radio. Then us junkies who stay up and find some way to stream the broadcast around the world at 3am surprises would be nice, certainly, but let's just see which way the wind blows and hope the guys put on a stormer.

    I don't think anyone was complaining about Zooropa being played (I certainly wasn't), I was only saying that Bono's vocals weren't that good. That's all I was saying, but it got taken out of control...

    I think he's changes his stance on that.


    That's a visual thing. A modern take on holding up lighters. He gets pissed at people seeing their show through a mobile phone screen. A mute point either way but if you see the show through a screen then you aren't fully experiencing it.

    Maybe, but bitching about them having balls is kinda silly. I mean its different to bitch about 5 ATYCLB songs being played (because thats far from balls), but bitching about something like Zooropa is madness. Yes few lines were missing in the 1st part, bonos voice was poor for you (i think it was NP) and the crowd reaction was poor (not bands fault...), but at least they've tried something new and that still overcomes the mistakes. Normally they would rehearse the song for half a year until its perfect and then maybe play it few times, but here they were spontaneous and i think its good for them not to play it safe all the time. I say dont be afraid and bring more Zooropa/Pop action!

    Ok, I barely bitch about anything, then I bitch about the vocals in Zooropa and I get shot down for it? Am I allowed an opinion?

    Rightfully so.


  10. Of course. (if you praise the band for the brave decisions they make, that is - otherwise you're just a hater that should get a life)

    Oh, I'm so sorry yeah, I barely bitch, so I think I'm allowed to have this one off. Besides, it's only over the vocals anyway.

    I'm sorry for completely spamming this thread. I'm just getting a bit frustrated.
