U2


Who knew Irishmen could be so funky?

 

How can any other band fool themselves into thinking that they can compare to these guys?

POP, the band's latest effort is, in a word, totally spectacularly wonderful. Go buy it now. The PopMart World Tour is in full swing, and you can get lots more info on that here. It's amazing how a band can change their musical sound so completely while the heart of the music remains unchanged. Not many bands can do that sort of thing well. To paraphrase from an interview after the first ZooTV show:

MTV: What about the old U2 fans? Will they get it?

BONO: Well I think the true U2 fans will get it. We might lose some of the pop-kids, but who needs 'em?

This still applies. Give POP a few listens and you can tell they're the same band. They're still the best in the world at what they do, which, according to their manager Paul McGuiness is to "get on stage and make a tremendous noise."

 

If you trade bootlegs (or want to) take a look at my live U2 collection - I'm always up for a U2 trade. I also have virtually all of their B sides and rare tracks
