  1. I'm sixty and the sex is still great. Adam taught me the little magic trick.
  2. Originally posted by fabian:By the way, which package is used for those CDs (Superdeluxe Edition)?

    I don't have the Achtung Baby and Zooropa albums, nor any singles and I gave my Sydney DVD to a close friend.


    That's because you illegally download everything. Not a great thing to do.
  3. What disappoints me the most about that Uber-Deluxe actually is the fact that they completely lost the actual Achtung-spirit about being anti-commercial and don't give a fuck about money.
    It's not the way to celebrate THIS record.
    If they do it with, let's say, HTDAAB, within 15 years, I'd completely understand.

    But ok, as some of you said, the best solution for us will be to buy the Super Deluxe and forget about the Uber-thingy.

    PS I don't love Paul McG, but I love the troll.
  4. Another thing, about the downloading.
    Didn't Paul McG just anounce he found a way to ban all illegal downloads in the future ?
    Let's hope he can't finish it before the remaster is out then.

    Really, they DID care about the money back then.

    Irony is just a way to hide your motives and being anti-commercial is often a very succesful commercial move.

    This is not to be cynical but U2 just have never made a secret of their ambition to sell sell sell.

    And they really really know how to do it: a lot of fans despise their marketing of releasing disappointing products, there's really a shitload of criticism, but yet -- everyone buys it in the end. Me too Although I did not buy the TUF remaster as even to me, they went too far with selling crap -- it did hurt because it's my favorite album. I'm curious whether I'll buy the AB remaster.

    LOLOLOL. Paul McG only wishes he could manage that. In reality he knows about as much about the internet as my cat. I don't blame him 100% for the douchier U2 decisions of late, but he's certainly a driving force.
  7. Originally posted by pleasegone:I think I am about as pissed at U2start.com, as you have to continue a thread with 68 pages and almost 500 posts that started in 2008. I tried to start a new one, and was directed to this one. That post was speculation, as the remaster was a hint of things to come. How stupid is this? You don't even get a link to skip to the last post, so it takes
    around 2 min to click to the end. About as lame as U2 making us buy the damn
    Sydney DVD again...not right.




    Sorry, what? If you're accessing the site via the webpage, just click on the last page number next to the thread title and you'll be on the final page. If you're using the mobile site, there's a button that says 'last page'. I'm not sure where the angst is coming from, dude.
  8. Can't believe there's no live tracks on ALL those extras.. Disappointing!! And all the remixes.. Oh please


  9. Especially after coming off a $700 million tour....

    This is ridiculous. It says bonus features for the DVD, any hopes for a few live videos? Besides the stupid Sydney video again (which will be my third if i buy it, I found my dads old VHS version in the basement the other day).

    The only reason I semi want it is for the Fly glasses......they tempt me sooo much.
  10. I'll just buy the two-disc "deluxe" edition and simply walk on.

    Did they ?
    Cause I keep reading stuff like ZooTV was that expensive they were almost bankrupt for a while
    And that because of that they became more, and eventually too, commercial.
