Hi all my fellow U2er's!!! And whoever happens to look out of curiousity!! ;)

Myspace is streaming the new album right now!!! Whole thing!! I've listened twice thru now and just love it!!! Can't wait to get my hands on the real thing.

Let's discuss!
 
I absolutely LOVE the album... only Achtung Baby tops it, and let's admit that one is near impossible to top.
Right now Moment of Surrender is my favorite song, but that can change after even more listens through. It used to be Stand Up Comedy, which is a very fun song to listen to.
From what I hear, the US tour will happen in the fall, as they are going to start in Europe this time. Also, they will be doing stadiums this time around, which will be interesting. I saw the Vertigo tour 7(!) times, but I know I wont be as lucky this time around.
Glad to see another U2 fan on here, hopefully more will follow and we'll get a fun conversation going popcorn::
 
I just burned a new cd the other day to listen to in the car and the U2 song I chose to put on it was Mothers of the Disappeared. Not sure why but I just have a thing for that song lately.

Can't wait to hear the new cd

Wow, one of the moodiest songs they do, and darn depressing if you ask me. Very haunting yet beautiful.
 

Guess I'll have to wait to hear it...the myspace stream doesn't work if you're outside the U.S.

Can't wait for a new tour! :)

Well crud, it was streaming on the official site, but when I looked I couldn't find it. I guess they are pulling it back until the release next week :lovestruc

I pre-ordered the CD ages ago - can't wait to get it! I've only heard Boots because I can't get streaming either.
 
Hi everyone!!!

My favorite song on the album so far is No Line on the Horizon! I do also like Stand Up Comedy! I agree it is comparable to Achtung Baby which is my favorite album next to Joshua Tree! I can't wait for the tour. I heard a rumor they were going to do the Rose Bowl here in Cali. That would be interesting. I saw them at the LA Coliseum during Popmart and it was awesome to see so many people singing With or Without you outside under the stars!!

I ordered the Box Set from Amazon so I can't wait to get it and look thru all the goodies!!
 
I haven't heard the album yet but can't wait for it to drop! Anyone going to stay up and watch them be Letterman's house band? :worship:

Wait, what??? I need details, please! What night will they be on?

I am a huge U2 fan! Thanks op! I wasn't aware of the myspace stream. I'm listening to it right now. I agree with ZuZugal. Mothers of the Disappeared is one of my favorite U2 songs, along with Bullet the Blue Sky, Red Hill Mining Town, Running to Stand Still, In God's Country. I guess pretty much the entire Joshua Tree album.:lmao:
 
It starts next Monday. They are going to be on Letterman every night next week. I'm guessing doing a different song each night.

I love, LOVE, LOVE the new album! I am really impressed. Can't wait for the tour!

Of course!! Well, actually I will tivo it and watch it at a more reasonable time!! My 4:30am wake up doesn't agree with watching the late shows.

I also love everything from Joshua Tree!! I was so excited when I got to hear Red Hill Mining Town last tour. It was a huge highlight for me! Hopefully we'll get something different from JT this next time around!

I'm still curious if they're gonna do anything ticketwise for fan club members this coming tour?? They sure are taking a long time to tell us the new subscription information. Mine expired back in Nov and there's still no new info about renewing for 2009. Boy do I miss the days of Propaganda! I was so proud of the band back then for doing right by their most loyal fans. I have anxiety already just thinking about having to deal with a Ticketmaster line. Something I've never had to do for a U2 show. :headache:
 
The official word from the band is that there is no ticket benefit for fan club members this time around. If you had a paid up U2.com membership, your membership has been renewed at no cost for the time being. I think they are still deciding what to do for their fans this time around.

I was in Propaganda also...my husband was a founding member! I have to say that I understand why they are saying no tickets this time though...I think when they brought their membership online with U2.com, so many more people joined the fan club than they were used to with the Propaganda system. I think the whole process got overloaded, and I know at least with the initial fan ticket sales via U2.com, a bunch of the tickets ended up in the hands of brokers--which messed the whole system up.

I believe there will be some type of ticket opportunity for the dedicated tour fans...you'll just have to work for it. Think of the past couple of tours--get those general admission tickets and wait outside all day to get into the ellipse or the heart, etc.

See you in the front row! :)
 
I didn't become a member and couldn't get tickets, so my hubby surprised me with tickets from ebay. OMG they were so expensive, like mortgage payment pricey. But really it was worth it to me, I had never seen them, we were like 9 rows up and Adam stopped and played right in front of me. I may file bankruptcy over my poor credit judgement but I had a great time!
 
This was just posted on the Wire feed!! I just renewed my subscription right now and everything was just as stated!! Awesome!!!!! :banana:

NEW @U2 U2.COM RELAUNCHES, MEMBERSHIP INCLUDES TICKET PRE-SALE
February 23, 2009
posted by: m2
The new U2.com is now live, and with it comes the news that many fans have been waiting for: Yes, U2.com members will have access to a subscriber-only ticket pre-sale. Wisely, there's no mention of "guaranteed tickets" or any of the stuff that led to trouble back in 2005. Other tour-related benefits for members will include things like "exclusive photography," backstage video, and access to Willie Williams' tour diary.

Membership also includes U2:Medium, Rare and Remastered, a 2-CD set of songs that were previously available on The Complete U2 (the iTunes digital box set), on the deluxe editions of recent album remasters, and on the b-sides of various singles released this decade.

The cost of new membership has gone up again -- it's $50/year now, up from $45 last year. Renewals will be $32 until March 2nd.
