God is in The House

Bono has said this more than once – So do we really think of U2 as a christian band ?

Amplify’d from www.u2tourfans.com

Tim Heufeld wrote an article earlier this week that we did not have a chance to share our thoughts on. “God is in the house” in deed HE is.  For the last three decades U2 has written songs of faith, hope and love going thru phases as most Christians do. Tim pointed out that on two albums “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb” and “No Line on the Horizon” could be considered as U2’s grounded works.

As I open this venture with U2tourfans, I would like to thank Andres for reaching out and letting me become part of the family. I think that’s part of U2-fandom culture. A band and a bond bring us together. We are interesting. We are diverse. We have passion. We are U2 fans.

No matter what you think of American Idol – Most will agree that its the artists that make up the final show. The “kids” just take away from the whole music vibe. Hey now its the kids that give the opportunity to Bono and The Edge to do some promotional work for Spider Man- Bring on The Dark – Impressed with the song and the timing – Which is now available today via iTunes

Frazer Harrison, Getty ImagesBono and The Edge made their appearance on American Idol last night during the season finale at the Nolkia Theatre in LA. The performed “Rise Above 1” Reeve Carney is the singer/actor that plays Peter Park in the Broadway production. The U2 marketing machine has timed this perfect once again with the release of the digital version available on Itunes. As the song comes to an end ana actual Spiderman swung from the ceiling and tried to plant a kiss on the lips of the judge Jo Lo who elected to tap her fingers on his lips.  Twitter was a buzz for a few days when we broke the news that they had planned to appear ( while news of U2 the band was to appear) However it was just Bono with his shades, and The Edge taking full advanatage of the promotional value of American Idol.  Take a look –

Denver was a HIGH a MILE HIGH on U2

Need I say more – good story

Amplify’d from www.u2tourfans.com

Denver was ready for the show, ready for about a year since Bono hurt his back. GA Line was pretty long, yet tickets still seemed to be available. We’ll skip the opening act, which from all tweets and facebook comments was better than good. They should have been earlier in the week the group had a chance to play a private show, nothing of course like U2’s private show.

Amplify’d from www.u2tourfans.com

U2 has kicked off their US and Canada dates with a great warm up and a bit more than a normal sound check –

300 or so guest and participants in the Special Olympics were inside Invesco Field (Denver) for a intimate show. Kids from Grandview Highschool will attend a dress rehearsal of U2 360. The three participate in a special education spirit programme organised by the Special Olympics in Colorado.

Tonight’s dress rehearsal will be the first time the teenagers have seen U2 in concert and they were pretty excited to meet U2 and have their picture with The Claw. U2 performed at the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics in 2003.

U2 Sucks !

Did Colin St. John really say that ? Yes, he sure did. However he threw in a MAYBE which leaves the door open for some U2 fans to comment and help him understand the musical value of U2 and how U2 has changed the course of the way music and faith are combined. Leave comments directly on the u2tourfans site so that it can be shared with everyone –

Really well according to Colin St. John is a Denver-based writer, this may be true. We have seen this kind of article before in fact we have even got some pretty solid hate mail about Bono and the boys. This one is different. Colin has left the door open to the ] of being wrong. The fact that he said maybe leaves us fans the opportunity to education him on the reasons he maybe wrong. We contacted Colin and requested permission to quote his story.
