simple as a flower that trancends to the devine. You are probably not a musician so you don't appreciate the Edge's simple yet amazing style. One of the best musicians in history.
Bono: "Dallas, what's the worst thing about working with the Edge?" Dallas: "When you call out a song that's not on the set list and I have to scramble to find the effects in the computer." So, Dallas, you're saying the worst thing about working with the Edge is, in fact, Bono? :D
I really love the idea of the band coming off tour and having to follow tape around their houses. It's the beginnings of a great comedy but I guess Spinal Tap already has it covered.
@dublinbarterclub Wow! Nice fairytale you have there.You sure you didn't have one too many in that bar?I seriously doubt that u2 was writing Achtung Baby on sept, 89.I think they were busy touring Australia with Lovetown Tour.
@CT2790 I am so glad to have made you lol.;). What sort of proof do you require? It all went down in 1989 in a bar called the Pitz in Southern Ireland.
I wonder what he could auction that vox amp for. The amp that has been to every tour, on every album, since they became U2. How much would you think it's worth?
(cont'd) Seeing them live is like a 2 hour bolt of electriciy shot through you. And the audience is there not just to observe, but to be a very big part of the show. As far as the old "their songs all sound the same," I'm not sure how to address that. I just don't get it, They sound very different to me. I can differentiate each song in a few notes, They also bring me back to different periods of my life, good and bad. I've stuck with them through thick and...well...thicker. Ok, that's enough.
@juutuubify Do you seriously think that they dont come back to Ireland between gigs? They have very strong connections to the south of Ireland. Edge does own a house there and they played their first ever gig in Southern Ireland in a nightclub called the Arcadia where I was working at the time. I was actually present when they auditioned for their first ever gig there. We kept in touch and that is how I came to be sitting in a bar with them in 1989.
(cont'd) Albums? They usually start at #1 and go on to sell about 2 million. Good but a long way from their peak selling days of Joshua/Rattle/Achtung. Concerts? Now we're talking. I know that they've sold out every show of the 00's up until this tour. I know they fell short on some concerts(give Europe its props...I believe they sold out every show), but they're still able to sell out the Rose Bowl with over 97,000 people. ((cont'd)
Ah, figuring out U2's popularity. I'm going to stick with the US. First, we have to determine what is so popular. Their singles? Actually, theyhaven't charted so high in their last 3 albums. They've done well in sub-categories, like adult contemporary, but even hits like Beautiful Day and Vertigo have peaked on the main chart at #21 and #31, respectively. They've done better in the rest of the world, but again, I'm only covering the US. (cont'd)
U2 did not write Achtung Baby. The real writer was ripped off and decided to leave the music industry and is now studying art in Dublin. She intends to write a book about the rip-off after the lead singer dies.
@CT2790 Well, I just gave you the year,1989, the month was september of 89. The location was a bar in Southern Ireland. It was a rip-off. Things like that dont tend to come with documented proof. I have been to solicitors and talked to journalists and they have said'' Verbal testimoney or written proof is needed before anything can be done'. There was another girl with me in the bar that night and Adam Clayton gave her 2,000 pounds not to testify against the band.
Ah but you see, I am not lying. You have the option of believing me or not believing me, that is up to you. Just because you do not believe something, does not make it untrue. I am the only one who can tell what went on that night in 1989.
So what is it about their concerts? I'll have to disagree with you that "they do nothing spectacular onstage." All you have to do is watch what catapulted them to worldwide success and that is the performance of "Bad" at Live Aid. If you don't think what Bono did was spectacular, in that it was both epic and intimate within the span of one song, then you'll never understand their popularity. And while the other 3 may not do anything spectacular most of the time, they do have presence. (cont'd)
(cont'd) People know them and like them. If you watch this whole "Day in the Life" deal and don't laugh throughout it at Edge's tour through his day, then I've been wasting my time here. You're hopeless. Also, U2 have an energy and power that few bands can match. At their best (which I think is in arenas, not stadiums) they feed off the crowd and the crowd does the same. One band that I think does the same is Green Day. (cont'd)
Dallas is awesome, he's so devoted to working for The Edge. I hope The Edge really appreciates him...im sure he does tho!! :D :D
simple as a flower that trancends to the devine. You are probably not a musician so you don't appreciate the Edge's simple yet amazing style. One of the best musicians in history.
Dallas is nice person and very loyal and of course profesional..
dallas really lucky found the edge.. and the edge also lucky found him too..
Bono: "Dallas, what's the worst thing about working with the Edge?"
Dallas: "When you call out a song that's not on the set list and I have to scramble to find the effects in the computer."
So, Dallas, you're saying the worst thing about working with the Edge is, in fact, Bono? :D
He seems like a sweetheart.
"Is this your room Adam??"
'Yes...and these are all my friends'
LOVE them! :)

Thanks for this, I havent seen this before :)
LOL, I can't imagine what Adam was doing in that dark hotel room.

Things don't have to be horribly complicated to be good. Sometimes simple can sound good. It sure works for U2. (:

LOL@ everyone hanging out in Adam's room in the dark
Washington's axe ?? You mean Trigger's Broom surely Edge?

Did you hear it?? He said the tape on the floor was "magnificent"! The song Magnificent is about TAPE!!!
U2 did not write Achtung Baby. The real writer was ripped off and decided to leave the music industry and is now studying art in Dublin. She intends to write a book about the rip-off after the lead singer dies.
@juutuubify The band are aware that I have been posting this information online.
where the streets have no name!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA xD
As you were not there, you cannot in all honesty state how it all went down. I was there and so I can.
2 vox AC30 / 2 fender blues jr???
Edge eu te amo
@CT2790 Lol, I am going to go and watch the Social Network now to see what you mean. I am aware of who it is about but that is all I know about it.;).
@dublinbarterclub
Hmmmm interesting. If nothing else you could have the sequel to "The Social Network" on your hands :D
@CT2790 Well, I just gave you the year,1989, the month was september of 89. The location was a bar in Southern Ireland. It was a rip-off. Things like that dont tend to come with documented proof.

Part 3A?????
@modeo92 Greenday does and All of your comments make complete perfect sense :D
1.28 is meeeeeeeeeeee

thats to much equipment for such simple riffs.
@dublinbarterclub "facepalm" Yeh,yeah,and I went to fishing with Adam last sunday.
lucky bastard. never wash that hand.
ha ha ha! ; )
Millions?
@dublinbarterclub
Documents, statements, authenticated dates and times, ya know, proof

as a matter of fact, you can spell it both both ways... "moron" is the right way, but "moran" is the "urban" way of spelling it. ; )
bitchfit Thanks. It's going to be my doctoral thesis.
@dublinbarterclub Can one prove this? lol
Gee, I guess I just not urban enough for you.;)
@juutuubify Oh my dear, if you knew Adam, believe me, you would not like him.
You have never actually met me, you have merely read words I have posted.;)
tom morello can and they toured with them.

Do try to be polite.;).
what the hell are you talking about??? ;)
ok... if you stop lying ; )
i know more than you and thats way too much stuff for todays technology.
If you must abuse me, at least learn to spell.;)
liar.
Ok ollie, if you are so good with the guitar, play this "simple" Edge's riffs.
You are so arrogance.
U2's sound forever in my life.
