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.
haha I realized us die hard fans aren't much different than other bands die hard fans years ago. 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!
Yes. I have a good friend who is a big Stones fan in the same way. He travels around to see them and spends thousands on platinum and VIP packages. He is one of the few that gets my love for PJ, and doesn’t question why I travel to see them multiple times on a tour.

I've been a U2 fan since '81. Traveled all over the country and Europe to see them and even to Dublin for NYE 1989/1990. 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...
Damn what a pic!! U2 were my first musical obsession at the age of 4. I’ve seen them over 30 times and absolutely adore them no matter what. The Vegas thing and the reimagined songs do not excite me at all but again, I’ll always love this band.

Thanks. I literally have hundreds more from 84-2005ish. Just don't have the time or patience to get them digital. For those that have the time here is the full video of Bono at the National Cathedral. A good watch. https://youtu.be/tO0bnQftMlA

Fucking Awesome!!!!
Wow, awesome pic @Bentleyspop And being at the cusp-of-a-new-decade NYE show in Dublin must've been a mountaintop experience!
I mean I just bought the All That you Can't Leave Behind boxset because someone posted it had the 2001 chicago show on vinyl in it..
I'm pretty sure I'll buy this 4lp at some point. I'll probably wait until after it's release to try and get it on discount.
I really do like acoustic versions of songs. I actually spent last Saturday afternoon finally getting around to making a folder of acoustic rock songs (from various unplugged, bootlegs, official releases, bridge schools, etc..). It's a pretty massive folder but I'm glad I got around to it. Pretty fitting this got announce a few days later. I'm sure I'll be adding some tracks from it into the folder
Its fine. But at this point, just write U2 songs. Don't try to push your sound, or bring back rock music. Just copy your old sound that worked and keep making that. You're in your 60s. You've had massive success. Just coast on your laurels.
To open up with that intro before zoo station… fucking chills man. What a waste that this stays in Vegas. I don't need that venue but I NEED AB in full. Fuck.

I bet they do once Larry is back but I’d rather they do Unforgettable Fire in its entirety that is by far my favorite Record!

Really! I love UF but AB is definitely number 1. However , Bad is one of my all time favorite songs. Ever.
