Tater Totts Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm going to be honest... I think The Unforgettable Fire is my least favorite U2 album. My least favourite has to be War. I just can't get into that album, especially New Years Day - I don't like that song and never have. No clue why.For me its Rattle and Hum. Has a couple of ok songs like All I Want Is You and Desire but the rest is average at best and the Live stuff on there doesnt do it for me.And BS they arent releasing them based on 25 year anniversaries as they have already released the Joshua Tree remaster.

Black Sabbath Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah, I think either RAH or TUF are my least favorites. Just not sure on which.And I totally forgot about The Joshua Tree remaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Why arent there any Achtung Baby Album Cover Tshirts >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 If you're lucky enough, you can find some cool ass shirts on eBay from the Achtung Baby era. They put out some awesome ass shirts around that time. I almost won one of them once, but I was outbid in the last minute. ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I think I might get a few shirts off the U2.com shop. Few going got $15 dollars which if I add shipping to the UK will still be cheaper then most places. Might get a R&H tshirt even though I dislike the album.Edit: The Sheffield Bootleg from last night is amazing. Was played on Radio so it was the first genunine 5* bootleg of the tour.

Black Sabbath Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Edit: The Sheffield Bootleg from last night is amazing. Was played on Radio so it was the first genunine 5* bootleg of the tour.Yeah I remember reading about that on a U2 forum. Obviously I would have much rathered it be a video broadcast (which I hope they do one eventually), but the audio is still cool. As for Edge's version of SBS on the Popmart DVD: Yes, he did do a very good job. The Edge is actually a very good singer.And speaking of other members singing, I'm reading things about them maybe bringing Your Blue Room into the set-list. If that's true, then we'll get to see Adam singing live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well they will release a DVD from the tour as they always do. Hopefully it will be a European show as there have been alot others released with Boston 01. Mexico 97. Australia 93. Chicago 05. I imagine it will come down to Wembley first night. Dublin third night or maybe Barcelona second night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 A casual fan like myself, I'm not hardcore, find Bono annoying, dislike The Edge, and get quickly bored of his boring, delayed guitar work, is it worth me getting NLOTH? I liked the first 2 singles, but think the new one is dog shite Or should I wait 2 years to pick it up for a fiver in the second hand shop?

Black Sabbath Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Yeah, they'll definitely release an official copy, but also on the other tours, there have been a few Pro-Shot broadcasts that they've done as well. I'd be surprised if they didn't do it for this one, but I'm sure they will at one point.Whenever they do release a show, I hope they don't edit a lot of it. Every show they've released has been edited quite a bit, and Popmart is the only DVD they they kept the whole set-list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yeah, the band really needs to pick up one or two of those to play on the current tour. Same with more from Achtung Baby. I mean c'mon, why in the hell aren't they playing The Fly and Until The End Of The World at every show?! They haven't even played The Fly yet at all.

I mean c'mon, why in the hell aren't they playing The Fly and Until The End Of The World at every show?! They haven't even played The Fly yet at all. After seeing them live I understand why they havent. I mean firstly The Fly doesnt really suit this tour at the moment. Secondly they are trying to bring back older less played tracks like Unforgettable Fire and Ultraviolet whereas The Fly was played on Elevatio and Vertigo tours. I think they have the mix more or less right for the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
