Looking forward to reading the book and while their heyday has long since passed, I really love Songs of Innocence.0

Saw Bono's book tour show last might in Boston. Very good. He had Jackknife Lee with him as well as a woman playing cello and another playing harp and keyboards. Did different arrangements of songs while telling stories from the book. He's a very engaging and humorous storyteller.This weekend we rock Portland0

I always kind of hoped U2 would do an acoustic/unplugged type album. I litterally spent last Saturday making a collection of my favourite rock acoustic songs, and there wasn't too much form u2 to to put there (stay for u2 360, johnny cash's cover of one, staring at the sun, sunday bloody sunday (from popmart tour). Hopefully some of these songs sound good

Stoked to hear these, especially after hearing snippets during Bono's book tour.
Last night I was browsing comments on U2's IG posts about the new release, mostly from fans who'd probably consider themselves die-hards based on qualifying comments like "I've been a fan since Boy and...", and turns out they're just as entitled and bitchy as us Pearl Jam loyalists. It was oddly refreshing to realize we're not the only fanbase that at times is ungrateful to have a band still writing their story decades into a career.0 -

Every time I go to a big concert, the band has it's big core die hard fan base.. every band has it. I'm always amused because I'm like, it's the rolling stones or u2 version of us!0 -

As time has gone on I have become less interested as the shows became more "Vegas" style and the old school "die-hards" became more cliquey, entitled and bitchy.
I'm actually looking forward to the new album.
Hopefully if they tour it isn't some over the top Vegas show (yes I'm aware of the Vegas shows).
Here's a picture I took in '92 I believe...
