this is when they were good..............ooooh controversial :0) First band I ever saw live - Ipswich Gaumont, Suffolk, on the War Tour, blew me away, opened with Gloria - too much for a 16 year old ruined on 2 pints of (Dancing Bear) Hofmeister.....ah, happy daze........
I hate watching this! They were so good!!! The band is a joke today. They peaked in1987 and everything after is ridiculous. Bono CAN NOT sing anymore. terrible voice. If they had any balls --- They would tour the TRIO -- Boy October War. They are spineless artists. They would never consider it. Paul and Dave (what is a Bono or Edge?) always tell us to donate our money. Why don't you donate some of your 100s of millions. Playing a concert is not a donation
Ahhh c'était mes années collège, mes années 80.... à la récré on mettait le walkmann (mdr) rien que pour s'en foutre plein les oreilles, avec leurs chansons....
They were unhappy with this album, because Bono had his suitcase of lyrics stolen, so they had to rush to complete recording it. Yet they still managed to come up with this amazing gem!
problem is U2 have changed there style over the years to go with the times and the stuff they are bringing out now isn't wat U2 fans are used to as most say U2 is what it was in the 80's
@CosmicSPC LED ZEP another fantastic band at least we can agree on one thing. I take back what I said about Czech Republic's music scene. You did indeed have one fine band called 'The Plastic People Of The Universe'. I love that band.
@manconoo Heheh. Actually, they did nothing of the sort but believe as you wish. There were many factors that made the population fed up with the regime here. Sure, the restrictions on music were one of them, of course. Still, sadly, the music here is still willingly restricted. It's a moribund scene.
@bertieblunt77....absolutely..I first heard 'I Will Follow' on a 45rpm single about 1980. In my opinion U2 are Boy, October and War! They took a different direction and became over commercialized......pity. None of their following albums had the same raw musical/vocal genius the first 3 had.
@WestAucksNZ completly true. I boycotted Joshua Tree for years, til a new era of my life. Still it is the these early years that project them into the limelight for me.
@WestAucksNZ Thank fuck they did or we would never have heard Achtung Baby. What planet are you on - do you know anything about the evolutionary process in music.!? Imagine if The Beatles had decided to stay with the same formula of their early stuff like Help or Please Please Me then their would have been no Sgt peppers. Go back in to your 80's slumber.
@manconoo ...yawn..what ever. U2, The Cure, The Police, Spandau Ballet, Dexys... just some bands who went from creating and playing their own unique sound to playing what the masses want to hear. commercialized dribble. Sorry, wasnt born in the 18th century so cant comment on The Beatles.
one tragic day my something like girlfriend had said me - NO, u are pure boy.... i have listened this song 87 times without pause and have smoked 41 sigarets.... really "DRAMA" song
@CosmicSPC Being fron the Czech Republic - you wouldn't know decent music if it hit you in the face. Was there years ago and always the same shit in all the bars.Bad 80's throwback music like Scorpions ' Wind Of Change' or Right said Fred. You are about 30yrs behind the west. Now get groovy to Europes ' Final Countdown' lol!!
@manconoo Darling, they invented these amazing things that fly. I believe your people call them airplanes. Cosmic may not be FROM the CR.
Yes, the CR has had a horrible time with music. The only great bands out of here since the fall of Communism were Dunaj and, maybe, Psi Vojaci. The radio is one huge wasteland of crappy popular songs and most Czechs know one Bob Marley song and think they know reggae.
Still, the fact remains that U2 has grown very derivative over the years. They're aging.
@pang5 Derivative? If anything many of the big contemporary bans like Coldplay, Kings of Leon and Killers are derivative of U2. Great to see that NLOTH - U2's last album being voted best album of 2009 by Rolling Stone magazine along with best song for 'Moment of Surrender, They may be ageing but their music sounds better then ever. Darling.
@manconoo Obviously there are going to be bans that were inspired by U2. However, no one was talking about them. U2 has simply become a parody of itself. They've become almost like a group of Madonnas now.
Rolling Stone...isn't that a magazine that used to be about music?
Hell, far's the popular opinion goes, it took the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until 2010 to honor The Stooges. The popular opinion is worth less than nothing.
@pang5 That wasn't popular opinion it was chosen by the writers and other musicians. Parody of themselves - do you know what that means? U2 's last album is up there with their best. A band that has been around for 30yrs and still remain relevant is quite an achievement. I don see the Rolling Stones touring their new album.You should listen to their newer records and try and forget the 80's.
@manconoo Popular writers and popular musicians, clearly. When will you see Little Jimmy Urine writing in RS? You must define relevant in a very different manner than I. I don't listen to the Stones' newish stuff either. It's not about forgetting the previous albums at all and should never be. That would be disrespectful to the artists who were active then, whether or not they're still active now.
The crux is that they haven't expanded *themselves*. They've merely gathered from others leechlike.
@pang5 U2 have their own particular sound that is totally unique to them. U2 are certainly not 'leechlike'. Achtunb Baby for example is the most successful reinvention of a group of U2's stature and they didn't give up there with POP, Zooropa, and Passengers. Passengers was pretty brave move considering the planet was immersed in Britpop at the time.NLOTH is U2 all over but modern and fresh at the same time.
@extreme67 I wrote Miami. Miami wrote the traces of spit on the corpse of reason. The child in my mind will not let you go. U2 WROTE MIAMI U2 WROTE MIAMI U2 WROTE MIAMI U2 WROTE MIAMI U2 WROTE MIAMI AND YOU KEEP WRITING THE SAME SHIT. I have nothing against you. Just stop fucking posting that. Just for the record. I wrote the bible.
I saw them at Giants stadium too and they played New Years Day and Sunday bloody Sunday and I was very happy. No obscure old stuff but at least that was something....
i fell in love with this song the first time i heard it. i know its got a sad feel to it..... but i hope this is what i dance to with my future husband at my wedding. so so so so soooooooo beautiful.
how can you HURT me so bad??? oh i know why ,cause you didn't care about me, oh well what can I say GUYS are all they same:D remember this song we used to listen to it in my ROOM!!!!! and i know your B-DAY is coming up (OCTOBER 5TH)
This song puts a lump in my throat whenever i hear it, its something about this kinda tune that always does. This is actually one of my funeral songs that i have chosen, i want people to remember me whenever they hear it as i love it myself.
@midnighteuphoria Man, now that's a lovely choice. I've got Heroes by Bowie as the main feature but think I might add this one to the others in the list as well, now you mention it.
"October" był niezwykle ważnym albumem dla U2 w kontekście dalszego istnienia grupy...jak mówił Bono ten album to być, albo nie być w branży dla zespołu...patrząc z perpsektywy ponad 25 lat U2 niezwykle się rozwinęło, ale zachowało swoją naturalność oraz niepowtarzalny klimat z początku lat 80-ych...
