NeilPeartFan2112 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I like U2. My dad has their greatest hits album, or something like that. He played some of their songs for me and they're pretty good. A lot better than most of this new music coming out. I think music should actually BE music.

Moonraker Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Pretty interesting they played so many songs, I wonder if they are gonna get reinvited now . I also see you've updated your banner with The Edge. I have just one question though, whose the 4th guy with the bass that has the cig in his mouth. I recognize everyone else and would probably recognize him too, but I just cant tell by that pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Edge insisted on being beside each other in the sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Notorious B.S.G. Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 The Story. U2 Plays a Surprise Show at Brooklyn Park By SAM DOLNICK NEW YORK (AP) - With the bright lights of lower Manhattan shining on the stage, the band U2 played a surprise outdoor concert Monday in a waterfront park beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. Although the MTV-organized show hadn't been publicly announced or advertised, thousands lined up at the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, a riverside park between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and across from the New York skyline. Most people said they heard about the show through word-of-mouth or postings on U2 fans' Web sites. The concert was for an MTV special called ``mtvJAMMED: U2,'' set to air Dec. 10. Led by frontman Bono, U2 played songs from its new album, ``How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.'' Although the album wasn't scheduled to be released until Tuesday, many fans had already downloaded the songs and sang along with the choruses. Deb Pruitt, 47, left her home in Culpeper, Va., at 4 a.m. to see the concert. She met her daughter, Melissa, who was flown in from Los Angeles after winning a U2 raffle. ``It's totally worth it not to sleep at all and drive eight hours to be here,'' said Deb Pruitt. ``We're big fans.'' Before the concert, U2 spent the day playing on the back of a flatbed truck that wound through city streets as a film crew shot the band for a new video. When the waiting fans in Brooklyn saw the truck crossing the Manhattan Bridge with the band on board, they screamed and waved at the rockers. ``It was an incredible show,'' Zain Deane, 30, said after the band's 45-minute set. ``U2's the best. And there's nothing like the skyline at night.'' 11/22/04 23:53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostGirl Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Wow! That's so cool that they did that...I think U2 still tries pretty hard to reach out to fans, and give them a little something extra. I just love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indica Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Call me weird but for some reason "Angel of harlem" gets me in the Christmas spirit more than any other song. I'm not even sure that this is a Christmas song or not but in the late 80's when this song came out it was not long before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorsEdge Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Bono? Yeah, I'd do him. But seriously, I was a big U2 fan years back, but they pretty much lost me after Zooropa. I was hugely impressed with "Beautiful Day" when it came out, and the new single is hot hot hot -- the album is on my Christmas list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
