  1. Okay so this isn't really news or anything but it felt like the most appropriate thread...
    So this past week I went on a cruise (Royal carribean oasis of the seas), and they had a show (Come Fly With Me or something like that)... the show was a musical, and in that show they played Vertigo! They did an awful job at it, and they tried to combine it with Lovin Spoonful's "Summer in the City" which made it worse IMO... The singers weren't very good and they instrumentals were awful IMO... I'm happy with it though because I like U2 getting the attention they deserve!! Anyway I thought you guys would want to know this

  4. Sorry but arctic monkeys at number 7?? Please!!


  5. In terms of money making it could be. For the quality of live performance I don't think Zoo TV was ever topped or ever will be.

I remember us all wondering what songs they'd try, and of course Acrobat came up.

  8. I wouldn't mind seeing a Pop themed encore, but to start the show with Mofo doesn't seem right to me given all the other songs they've released.
  9. I'd love a show to start with Mofo. It's not a perfect song to open with but it has a real pumping feel to it - therefore get the audience pumped and keep going with more songs like Vertigo and those that really pump you up, get the crowd on their feet.

  11. Interesting. DOn't know who is her but an interview is always interesting. Let's hope Bono has definitely abandoned his "we've got an album really really really close of being released, and it's our best ever" traditions and we get some sincere insight of how are things on the U2 camp.
  12. Bono was in the Irish tabloids today. Dying with the flu apparently 'but looking forward to 2013 AND a new U2 album'. Sounded like two separate statements to me.

    Edit - that tabloid above to be exact. Just a load of fluff really.
