U2 Joshua Tree tour 2017

[Nickdfresh]

They are literally out of ideas, music, and self-worth.

Way past time for them to hang it up

Well they had more ideas than you, so the fuck what....

BTW, they are working on a new album and thought The Joshua Tree redux fit the current political climate of right wing assholes controlling the U.S. and U.K., and would be a good bridge from their embarrassing last album to their new stuff....

Show here sold out. Could always sit near the Rock Hall or closer to the stadium and listen for free.

Found this on the tube the other day

[Nickdfresh]

Actually New Era Stadium is perfect for that with so many parking lots and a presumably semi-empty bar(s) next door during the concert...

I doubt they'll sell out right away on Monday, I hope...

[twonabomber]

I really didn't think it would sell out, with Pittsburgh so close.

That's probably why they launched a second wave of dates, U2 will be like the third concert at the Bill's stadium since around 2011 after a period of concert bans after the Grateful Dead riots of 1991 or so..,.

Oh, right, right, another one of those "Remixed 2017" over priced pieces of shit like this one



(Actually, that Beatles remix isn't all that bad)

Really, fucktard?

Seems to me when it ever came to Jew2 this guy was the one with the "ideas."


As was this guy



So "suck my dick," F A T T Y

They already did that like ten years ago you moron. They're just playing the "Joshua Tree" line-up as a nostalgia thing...

They didn't write the music, fucktard. They arranged it at behest of the band and the ZooTV/Achtung Baby era was largely pushing out Lanois and showed a dramatic break with their 'big-music' past. Most of that direction was driven by Edge and Bono...

So eat my asshole

[Kristy]

Wow. Stay stupid, fucktard.

"Nostalgia thing" = out of ideas. In it for the money.

[Kristy]

...Oh, and I don't ever remember Jew2 doing a "2017 Remix" of Crotchusa Pee 10 years ago.

No shit, but there's a difference between out of ideas and never having any. You can hate U2 all you want, you say The Edge sucks and is all pedals and whatever. Yes their last album sucked weepy-old-man-balls. But you cannot deny they have been enormously influential. I understand people don't like U2 and see them as preachy phonies or whatever. I don't care. Their concerts tickets here are pretty reasonable and they do put work into putting on a good show, and yes, they are good to their fans and have been generous with the vaults and have tacitly even contributed bootlegs. In short, there isn't much that rivals them at this point like it or not though it's not a very high bar anymore unless you really love GNR....

[Nickdfresh]

Yes, there is a 30th Anniversary Ed. I really don't give a fuck about, you're correct and I hadn't noticed. I did pony up for the 20th Anniversary Remaster with the Paris-DVD and bonuses and had completely forgotten about it until I pulled it out of a box in my basement a couple months back. I read their Achtung Baby era bio that both the Edge and Bono were fucking with people by hitchhiking in the desert southwest during the original Joshua Tree tour and were picked up by an avid fan. After playing some of TJT the kid said something like, "hey guys, you like Def Leppard?" He popped in the Hysteria cassette in the car stereo and both Edge and Bono were horrified shocked on how much better the sound production was on a Def Leppard album than TJT. One of the legitimate things that drove the remaster originally, no interest in another one...

[Kristy]

So..I win.

AGAIN!
