RE: The life of a U2 superfan - what's it like to be obsessed with a band? [Original Story + Photos]
I wasn't actually aware they were touring again! My wife and I saw them a few years back for the 360 tour, they were one of the bands I'd always wanted to see but somehow just never got around to. There's not many bands still touring who have the kind of instantly recognisable songs U2 do, it always makes me sad when I head people ripping them down. I've never quite understood it either, all I know is that their music is incredible, and long after people have forgotten whether they are 'cool' or not 'cool' or whatever, they'll remember the songs!
Yeah, haters gonna hate. Most of it's derived from jealousy I guess. Either that or Bono's massive ego! Tons of people hate him. I'm not a fan of him going on his egotistical rants, but I'm there for the music.
360 tour eh? In my opinion, probably the worst tour they have done :) The new songs that accompanied that tour never really caught my imagination to be honest. Saying that, I didn't make it to the latest Joshua Tree tour, mainly because i wasn't in the country at the time they were here and I can no longer financially justify travelling around the globe to see them.
I think UK tix go on sale tomorrow or in the next few days so worth keeping your eye out if you fancy going.
Yep, I imagine a bit of both but definitely all about the music! You never really know what any of these people are like!
Well I don't have any frame of reference for a U2 gig as it's my only one but I do agree on the songs, in fact I don't think there's anything from the Line on the Horizon album that really stands out.
Will have to keep an eye out and see what price the tickets are going for!
