seems to be more respect for the bands of say the 80s etc. on the continent. the likes of depeche mode, simple minds have huge followings. whereas in the uk they don't seem to be given the respect they are due. guess record companies always whoring out new acts, most of which don't deserve to be given the job to clean the shoes of some of the big names of the past. Got to admit it too, I preferred Simple Minds to U2 in the 80s. love them both but special place for SM
I get into this song looking at a futurama episode...it´s a nice song, and the episode ending was epic....the ones who saw it will give me the reason....
Not quite as spectacular as the one from 1997, but still awesome. I would have liked to see the crowd a bit more in this one too. Should have lit the place up a few times.
@carmeloquai I was wondering the same. I've seen a few that are highlites of the shows with different bands, but not the solo shows. They really ought to release these for sale. Great, great shows. Nothing like that in the US, :(
@brendubmale35 That's because in Ireland all the Irish fucks are drunk on Guinness and Irish whiskey, they are so drunk they can't make it to the concerts.
@meccaturbo well commin from a yank i,ll take that as a complement now off you go and inbreed with your... family you fucking slag jawed hillbilly wanker...and its easy being a big man online you fucking inbred pussy ...
@brendubmale35 Go fuck yourself, you perpetually drunk Irish fuck. You fucking Irish fucks are always so drunk that you can't even pull your lazy asses out of the gutter and do any real work. Now go back to your gutter, you fucking lazy diddler.
Seeing Bono on the beach recently it would be really hard to escape such a shadow. These guys are true musicians, not preachers, political puppets or investment bankers but if you like that kind of music it's fine.
Its all about the music. I was born kinda late, but I was gifted to even be born in the 80's. Since as young as I was back then, it has always been about the music...because of the 80's. I wish I could go back
