Whattup.

I remember years ago I stumbled on a website that listed all of the little secrets and mistakes in every U2 album (like when Bono coughs before "Another Time, Another Place", or when Larry supposedly starts counting off with his drumsticks too early before The Unforgettable Fire, or something like that I can't remember exactly).

Anyway, I thought it was cute.
Anybody ever see this site and can direct me to it? I'd like to see it again.

autumncat:
My Philly pre-sale tickets arrived in the mail today.

I'll be really excited and relieved when the second set of tix shows up. Cuz those are the seats I want!!

isabelle_guns:
I want to clarify something, when I meant U2 fans trade not sell. I was being sarcastic kinda making fun of the whole scalper/broker situation that happened with the pre-sale, some people got it and those who didn't I realize how annoyed you were with my post. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

moydrumm:
Does anybody have the early videoclips of U2 on his or her computer?
Like: Two Hearts Beat As One, Fire, and so.

Can anyone send it to me, or upload it on the internet so everybody can download those videos?

Thanks!

eclipse69:

for those of you with VH1 Classic, today's episode of Classic/Current kicked off with the following two videos:

Classic:
U2
"Sunday Bloody Sunday"
"LIVE AID DVD"

Cuurent:
U2
"All Because Of You"
"HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB"

a couple of other instances i can recall seeing U2 on that program they showed:

Classic:
U2
"Two Hearts Beat As One"
"WAR"

Current:
U2
"Walk On"
"ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND"

Classic:
U2
"Gloria"
"OCTOBER"

Current:
U2
"Vertigo"
"HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB"

boomtownrat:

For those who have TiVo, they're featuring the "All Because Of You" video and some interview clips on their service (that is to say, it doesn't cost extra to watch, but is included with the subscription). I don't know how long this will be available because it's not my TiVo; I stumbled upon it while visiting friends who have TiVo. The interviews are pretty decent but Larry fans won't get to see their man. Adam, Bono, and Edge are all interviewed. You can also see the full-length "Vertigo" iPod + iTunes commercial.

Anyway, I thought I'd let everyone know because I haven't seen anyone mention it in the past few days and I don't remember it being posted before that; appy polly lodgies if someone has already posted about this. :)

I have 2 tickets to U2 in Seattle Sunday, April 24th 2005. I'm looking to TRADE my spare (1) GA ticket for one of the following shows listed below.

1 GA Floor - VANCOUVER
1 GA Floor - SAN DIEGO (yeah still bidding on tickets)
1 GA Floor - NY (I'll throw in another U2 show for this trade on this leg)

I'm posting this on U2 LJ communities, Interference and U2.com

I'm not selling my spare ticket, I'm TRADING. U2 fans don't sell to each other, only trade....like hockey cards.

girlfindsworld:
I have to ask, does anyone else find it very endearing (perhaps endearing is not the right word, but it suits me well) in 'Miracle Drug' how the Edge-Bono vocals fit together? I'm finding myself repeatedly listening to that part of the song over and over again, as I find something about it completely engaging, and kind of precious at the same time.

deepbluemermaid:

I just spent an hour calling the Ticketmaster Ireland number on redial, and refreshing their ticket website (which, from about 8.05am, just gave me continual error messages). I started at 8am when tickets went on sale. And now, over an hour later, I FINALLY got through on the phone...to receive a message saying everything was sold out for BOTH shows.

This is so frustrating...I couldn't book for any of the earlier UK shows because my thesis is due in about the 3rd week of June - and, as much as I love U2, I'd love to get my degree more. And I can't book for anything later than the 24th, because I'm leaving to go back to New Zealand on the 26th!

I spent my formative U2-loving years in New Zealand, a country U2 hasn't visited since 1993, and now...having travelled 12,000 miles to come study in the UK, I was so hopeful of getting to see them for the first time!!!

I will be spending August and part of September in the US, so all I can hope is that the 2nd US tour fits my dates.

*could cry*

meineuphorie:

Haha I thought this was funny: It's a quote from Bono in my Newsweek

"Let's face it, tolerating an Irish rock star is not a necessity of his office." U2 frontman Bono, on an AIDS talk with President Bush, in which the President had to bang his fist on a desk to get a word in edgewise.

cuuute ;)

Fan Fire number incase anyone who was not sent the prop 50% membership discount would like to call instead of sending emails that do not get answered... (I haven't called yet.)
1-800-615-1324

I am such a friggin dork.

I kept getting replies in my email from this post (which you should all do cuz it's fun and you might be bored!).... Anyway, I was going to the dang page over and over to read the new replies and answers to the questions and never saw them. I was baffled, thinking something was majorly wrong with LJ or my settings or something. Well DOH I just glanced down and there is a page two link at the bottom of the page! I don't think I've ever seen one of those on a post here in the community! *smacks self in forehead*

falling_human:

Let us all bow our heads and have a moment of silence for ... my Joshua Tree CD.

It has finally been played *so damn much* that now ... it's completely worn out. It will not play on any CD player in the house. It is dead.

I shall not throw it away, but will instead keep it in my U2 Graveyard of other items I have used to death or killed - such as my ZooTV videocassette that took a swan dive from the top of my TV and shattered (and was promptly replaced, of course!), or my Rattle & Hum videocassette that wore so thin it barely played, and my Achtung Baby t-shirt, which I lovingly wore so often and washed so much that it's now in tatters, and can only be worn with another shirt underneath.

O Joshua Tree, you were my first U2 album, the one that introduced me to the band, the one that gave me my favorite song. You faithfully blasted from my stereo speakers, and into my Discman headphones during road trips with my parents, for the past 12 years. I thumbed through your booklet so often that it faded and fell apart, reading the beautiful lyrics and gazing at those four faces which ended up becoming oh-so-familiar as I grew up. I love you, I tried to take care of you, and I hope you had a good life. I shall replace you with another, shinier Joshua Tree as soon as I can get to Best Buy again, but you will never be replaced in my heart.

moydrumm:
Somebody posted some rare U2 songs from the I tunes site a few days ago, but I can't find the post...

Can somebody put the songs again on the internet so I can download those?

films:
If you get to check it out on mtv - when the video starts you can see he has a U2 ipod

chynafox:
To all those that have got/ are getting tickets for Dublin- what's the best way to get them? Did you get them by phone or internet, and what site/ number did you use/ are you going to use?

hfrogg451:

Ok, I'm pissed! To all those people who make the arguement that because you've been a part of Prodaganda you should some how get special treatment I say grr...

Since when was U2 about seniority and proving who loves them more? It's about the frickin' music people. They aren't gods and we shouldn't be fighting over tickets to see them as if we're starving and they give us food. Fine you should have gotten free memberships to U2.com because of the previous membership status in Prod, that makes sense but no you get even more priority in getting tickets???? Why is that fair??

Why because you somehow found out about a magazine before the rest of us? I've been a U2 fan since I was a little, little kid but I didn't know about Prod so because of that I'm being punished??? Furthermore, I joined U2.com because I'm a fan, at the time I joined I didn't even know I was going to get priority at tickets! I join and I do things for this band and with other fans out of the love of the music,not to prove my love of them. Not to somehow screw over another fans!

ps: I apologize in advance for this rant and do not mean to insult or injuy anyone. Please, don't all jump down my throat at once....
Instead, please queue and only jump one at a time just like we do for U2 tickets.

chynafox:
Hi guys,
Is anyone going to the Dublin concert? I can't get tickets through pre-sale so I have to try and get them tomorrow morning- only thing is, the person who was supposed to come with me has pulled out! So is anyone getting tickets tomorrow or has already got them and would maybe like to meet up with me on the day?

icymorning:

I'm definitely happy for the rest of 2005 :) Thanks to a friend of a friend, we secured two floor tickets for Paris, and two others for Nice, at a preferred price. Now's the time to be in line for one of the two Dublin's shows :)

Good luck to everyone trying to get their tickets, I know they're really hard to get by, I almost missed the Elevation Tour french shows ...
