    Third concert in Stockholm has been postponed due to security reasons:

    Chaos at U2 concert: ”Armed man was let inside”
    The U2 concert at Stockholme Globe Arena was cancelled.
    According to the police due safety concerns from the organizers Live Nation.
    But sources tell Nöjesbladet that a man claiming to be a police officer showed a gun at the security check – and then was let inside.


    This is the official statement from U2.com:

    All tickets from Sunday 20th September are valid for Tuesday 22nd September.

    The organizers apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank the audience for their understanding. Their safety is the priority.

    Crazy to read. Someone with a gun who wanted to kill Bono, that's at least what they said. What a world..

    I am actually starting to like Songs of Innocence now. :) It really didn't do anything for me up until now. Sometimes it just takes time (and sometimes no amount of time will help, lol). This is good - it's much better to like an album than to hate it!

    That is certainly their best work by far. After Atchung Baby it gets really hit and miss, and nothing since then has ever been as good. But still... the latest is a lot better than the last few albums IMO.

    I think Pop was an awesome follow up to AB. I do pine for a more guitar mixed version though. They released a few tracks on their Best of the 90s thing with some re-mixed Pop tracks that sound fucking bad ass. Edge turned off like 20 pedals and just played the shit out of these songs. You can hear his work in there for sure, these re-mixes are just more direct.

    Finally learned about what "Mothers of the Dissappeared" on Joshua Tree is about while in Argentina. Felt like an ass not knowing about such a major event it was in Argentina but was like two years old at the time.
