    Yes, 15k arenas instead or +60k stadiums. I'd love to see U2 in an arena, I have seen them thrice and really up close but in stadiums, never in an indoor venue. It has to be an amazing experience too
  2. this and a killer instinct is what it's needed and everything could happen .. stadiums or arenas

  3. I'd say any ideas of them being on the road for longer while releasing EPs along the way is way too unlikely with U2. They probably want the opposite, the least amount of material and a smaller tour, but with moderate success, something like All That You Can't Leave Behind. They're getting on in their years, and even Adam said sometime during the last tour (probably around the time Bono messed up his back) that now that they're getting older these huge world tours are starting to become a health issue just as much as a time issue, meaning that they're not young and spry anymore.

    No, I'd be willing to bet we see one or two more tours both of them being moderately small in terms of dates and venues, and just the scale. They probably never want to have to have 2-3 different stages to set up while the others are being taken down again, and on top of that they got rained on so many times during the last tour they probably feel like staying dry for this one
  4. ^bummer...no more "Rain" snippets.

  5. It's alright.
    It'll still be a U2 gig as long they sing happy birthday sometime during the show.
  6. LOL, I wouldn't ever recognize him if I'd seen him in the street
  7. Let us just hope that is a picture of Adam walking out of the studio after a three month recording session...

  8. Well the title of the album is "Members of U2 outside Harry Crosbie's Cafe Bar" - so, unless they're celebrating the album being finished...
  9. Adam never gets the crazy outfits in the band, so I'm glad he's taken matters into his own hands. And hair.

  10. Lol, are you sure?
