Deadlock said:What I can't figure is why Edge has been on such a short leash lately... As far as I'm concerned, the only sign of life from him on No Line was Breathe.
Moedred said:I'm glad to have followed a band that didn't flame out. I saw the Ramones in college on their farewell tour and was not impressed. I understand some of them had one foot in the grave, but Joey fell silent for long stretches and relied on backup vocals.
I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
Heard a song that made some sense out of the world
Everything I ever lost now has been returned
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Joe Brody in 2004 on U2 said:Early U2, with songs dealing with the Troubles in Ireland and the Solidarity Movement in Poland, was a real awakening for me -- a young kid in the early '80's who was just starting to figure things out in the world. I remember listening to 'New Years Day' and it was like nothing I'd ever heard before. The piano was haunting and the video -- with the WWI film clips and the band on horseback with the White Flag -- really resonated with this fan of Indiana Jones and Warren Beatty's Reds. [...] [T]heir message always set them apart.
Still just 4.I've been to 4 (so far):
Bono writes towards the end of his memoir Surrender (an excellent audiobook) that the best albums come from the greatest conflict with his bandmembers, and (I'm paraphrasing here) he's not sure he wants to continue to put them through that. The last album of original material was 2017.The band is secondary and without Larry there it just feels "off". Here's hoping they're able to churn out a new album and wow us again the near future.
