The K Man Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Bono is an arrogant mofo, but one helluva entertainer. Love U2. Hoping they come to STL at some point on this tour. The new album is really, really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new album is really, really good.I agree with your points, excluding the last one. Bono does love himself a bit too much. I saw U2 numerous times, the last time being on the Popmart(?) tour. Great performers. I haven't enjoyed or cared about a U2 album since Achtung Baby or Zooropa. Predictable, every album since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been trying to chase the success of All That You Can't Leave Behind after the "failure" of the Pop era. That's why every album since ATYCLB has been "predictable".

Rick N. Backer Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 They lost me after Achtung Baby and let me just say Bono is a c***. Although I'm 47, I wasn't a fan of their early work. It wasn't really until The Joshua Tree that I "got" them. I love Achtung Baby. I really enjoy All That You Can't Leave Behind and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The last two albums haven't done much for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigman208 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm a fan of U2, like a lot of you I also tend to stick to the earlier stuff up to about Achtung Baby, outside of a few songs here and there. I was online today checking out setlists and the set from their dress rehearsal a few days ago is posted online, and I must say it's pretty disappointing IMO. I'll post the link below but for those who don't want to be SPOILED, don't click it. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/u2/2015/pacific-coliseum-vancouver-bc-canada-7bc802f8.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of glad I didn't shell out the kidney and right kneecap to go see them in Toronto this tour. Tickets were quite expensive compared to the 360 tour. I saw on Ticketmaster they were charging $300 for nosebleeds at the ACC. Too steep for me that's for sure! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW84 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 That setlist isn't complete. They have been rehearsing more songs and they have been known to add songs as the tour goes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
