  1. By first world, you mean the majority of the world that can't use what they announced? Including the place where they announced it? ? I'm actually excited about the channel. Hopefully there are concerts broadcast that haven't seen the light of day yet
  2. Still waiting on “just kidding... here’s our new album, we already put it under your X-mas tree”
  3. Lol, veeeerrryyyyy much so.

    Y'all need to step out of the U2 bubble for a bit and not get so mad about this lol.

    Also for anyone expecting an album drop, are you serious? You must be new here. I don't expect a U2 album until at least 2021 lol. Maybe I'll be wrong, but there are certainly more examples of making us wait that long between ending a tour and putting an album out than there are examples of the opposite.
  4. It's a shame because that X image was quite cool
  5. So I have somewhat of a first world problem with this. I just purchased a new vehicle 3 months ago, and it came with a free xm trial. That trial is about to expire, and I wasn’t really planning on subscribing. I like XM, but it doesn’t really seem worth it to pay for it when I also pay for Apple Music and use that as my main source of music listening from my phone. Now I’m on the fence. There’s a lot I like about XM, and it gets me to listen to things I normally may not ever hear. Most of the time on Apple Music I just listen to the bands/albums I already know I like.

    Do you guys think this station will actually have interest content, or will it just be the same U2 songs I can listen to anytime I want in other ways? FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS!!!

    Ps- those Japanese fans were probably wondering WTF was going on lol
  6. Also, it’s humorous to me that some people thought it was going to be an album or tour announcement, or a more likely AHIMSA EP release, and it ended up being this instead.

    What would be awesome is if U2 would release SOA in 2020 sometime with little fanfare, and then release the more traditional U2 rock album in 2021, with a big tour to follow. Kind of what Coldplay’s currently doing with EL. That’s the dream scenario!
  7. This announcement is up there with one of the weirdest things U2 have done.

    Okay, a legitimate question among all of the noise. If the U2 station is anything like Pearl Jam, I think it will be good. I personally won't be getting it because there isn't much else on the programming there to draw me to pay $15 a month - that and single income, 2 kids, and a stay-at-home mom, every penny counts If you are able to swing it, I would say take the plunge for a 6 month trial and give it a go. You never know right? Again, looking at the PJ model, it could be cool.

    What's special about PJ's?
  10. Im really excited about U2 radio!
  11. We will sadly have to wait until 2021 for the next album
  12. Why did they make a world wide announcement for a product only available in the US? Nothing wrong with what they are offering but it seems irrelevant with a non US audience.

    U2 management losing their grip with the fan base.
