  3. I believe it's... "my face when". But I had to Google it. Now, where did I put my zimmerframe...
  5. Yes. It means. My Face When...

    Dutch Tim -
  9. Do you think they'll do a full album release all at once? Or do you think they'll drop a single or 2 then have the album come out a month or so later?
  10. I hope we get a single (or two) first. U2 rarely release more than one single ahead of an album (though I wish they'd do two - one about 2-3 months ahead and another about 2 weeks ahead) but I expect we'll get a single this time, to let us know it's coming. I think the surprise album pounce would not be pulled two times in a row.
  11. I thought about opening a new thread for this but I don't know if it's relevant enough, but The Fly single was out 25 years ago yesterday. It's my favourite U2 song – I have it on CD, cassette, 7" and 12" vinyl. What I want to know, being younger than the song itself, is what was the reception when it first came out? What were people's opinion of the first glimpse of a drastic sonic reinvention? It must have been strange to see U2 in such a different light – visually and audibly.

    Here in Spain it didn't go down very well, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case elsewhere. U2 had grown exponentially here and by late 1991 there was still a strong U2-80's fever with U2 parties, cowboy hats and full blasting Joshua Tree vinyls all around, so their change of sound and look wasn't particularly welcome. Many people even declared they weren't fans of the band anymore. Achtung Baby sold like cupcakes though (like elsewhere) and by the time the Zoo TV hit Spain fans were as passionate about it as everywhere else.
