1. No, not Rattle and Hum... you get a copy of All That You Can't Leave Behind. This is the Übersuper edition. However... you gotta get the rare Ubersuper+ edition that has a copy of U218 Singles as well.
  2. ^ I'd prefer they gave me a bag of air in that case.

  3. Oh, there's a can with air from Iceland in it.

    They fucking sold air in cans when I was their. Eight euros for a can of Icelandic air.
  4. the Tree is simply inestimable
  5. (...various stuff...)


    Stay on topic NOW.
  6. Hi Sergio! We were just discussing the 25th anniversary boxset that you apparently have heard nothing about. Stay in the loop, man. Stay and the night will give you a box.
  7. ^ Don't blame me, I'm a mod.

    And yes, we had better get back to the original discussion. So JT's 25th anniversary...anyone got any memories of the first time they heard the album?

    Well, some illogical song about streets without names was what got me into U2.

  9. Epic. Ness.

  10. Yes, I do. Well, of course I do not the first time I actually heard the album, because I was probably not born... But I do remember the first time I listened to it. It was a hot, May/June evening, and I was on the car with my mum. It must be around 1999 or 2000, I already had a good English level, and listening to that songs while reading their lyrics was... So special. The songs that struck me the most back then were Running To Stand Still, Exit and Mothers Of The Disappeared. They still do I remember dropping some tears with One Tree Hill and Mothers, too. I still do

    Where's the 'I approve completetely in its entirety' button? That's an incredible story - tears as well. I did the same when I heard Streets for the first time live - it has that effect on you.




    This song, unknown what it's called as it's not written on the disc. No idea, all I know is it runs 5:00 or so.

    This incredible layer of echo, delay, chamber-effects and reverb all at once, then into these drums with the most incredible bass line, so deep yet so...undescribable. That was Where The Streets Have No Name. There's something special there. And it still does that. To this day. Words, lyrics, poetry, meaning, prose...boom. All arrived. In that five minutes.

    And I still can't tell the difference between ABC News and Hill Street Blues.

    'I wanna run, I wanna go there with you'. I don't know where you're going, but I wanna go there with you.
