Well at one time Ipods featured U2 music – Steve has had an impact on many things in our life.
Bono / Steve Jobs U2 fans have a special love for Steve Jobs. It was October 26, 2004 when Apple introduced the IPOD U2 Special Edition as part of a partnership between Apple, U2 and Universal Music Group (UMG) to create innovative new products together for the new digital music era.
Well sure you own at least one copy. Any U2 fan would say this must have been the best of the best. Well check out the complete track list and story
Achtung Baby is the seventh studio album by rock band U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 19 November 1991 on Island Records. Stung by the criticism of their 1988 release Rattle and Hum, U2 shifted their musical direction to incorporate alternative rock, industrial, and electronic dance music influences into their sound. Thematically, the album is darker, more introspective, and at times more flippant than the band’s previous work. Achtung Baby and the subsequent multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour were central to the group’s 1990s reinvention, which replaced their earnest public image with a more lighthearted and self-deprecating one.
This is the month that music lives for. Rejoice in the sound of music and live as if tomorrow will never come for today you have song and wine and of course U2, rejoice life is full of laughter and sorrow and yet tomorrow is not far off if you believe in yesterday.
At the beginning of every October, I play this track. I don’t know why, but I just do. The song is a haunting song, consisting of 26 words and two themes.
The first theme has to do with death. Obviously, it’s Bono’s reflection of a tree losing its leaves, which I think is a metaphor about losing his mother. The mother I feel he is speaking of is Mother Nature, stripping us bear of our emotional being as we take on winter. As I listen to the track, I envision a heavy, grey sky above me, almost suffocating. A lone tree, away from the forest on the horizon, stands naked before me.
When did Larry find the time ? I guess it was between a couple of shows ? Take a look at Larry with Donald. Its pretty good – A must see for all U2 fans !
Larry Mullen Jr and Donald Sutherland / Man on the Train The English-language remake of Patrice Leconte’s award-winning French film of the same name, Man on the Train stars Donald Sutherland and musician Larry Mullen, Jr. in his acting debut.
Well if you have a book and want to get some exposure this sounds like a great opportunity for a few selected writers.
October has been a music industry month. Releases from all your favorite bands have been scheduled for October. You have heard the term Rocktober. What’s so special about October.
U2 fans know that October has some special meaning. We thought we would celebrate October with a new selection.
Who is this “F” that thinks that his shit is better than anyone else. Failed sense of reality and musical talent. Lame shame that U2 allowed this type of crap to open up for them. – Tommy Boy your handlers should have told you “Keep your mouth shut” if you have nothing nice to say.
Tom Meigham/Kasabian Kasabian star Tom Meighan hated touring with Irish rockers U2, and he has branded the gigs “horrible” and the “worst ever”.
Well it maybe true – The word is that Bono let it slip during some conversations with his lads that U2 may not hit the road any time soon. The marketing machines must be spinning with the news that the boys could be taking off for an extended period of time. Well does that mean we will not see new music from them ? Because everyone knows that new CD requires tour – Hum. We will have to wait –
Well 20 years later and the baby still stands as the most interesting and challenging CD of U2’s collection
U2 singer Bono has revealed that some of the biggest names in music have contributed to a tribute to mark the 20th anniversary of band’s ‘Achtung Baby’ album.
Often we hear of bands allowing fans to bootleg their shows, however this studio bootleg was not allowed and was considered to be the most talked about bootleg of U2’s career
In February 1991, U2 resumed the album’s sessions in the seaside manor “Elsinore” in Dalkey, renting the house for ₤10,000 per month. Lanois’ strategy to record in houses, mansions, or castles was something he believed brought atmosphere to the recordings. Dublin audio services company Big Bear Sound installed a recording studio in the house, with the recording room in a converted garage diagonally beneath the control room. Video cameras and TV monitors were used to monitor the spaces. Within walking distance of Bono’s and The Edge’s homes, the sessions at Elsinore were more relaxed and productive.The band struggled with one particular song—later released as the B-side “Lady With the Spinning Head”—but three separate tracks, “The Fly”, “Ultraviolet (Light My Way)” and “Zoo Station” were derived from it. During the writing of “The Fly”, Bono conceived an alternate persona based on a pair of oversized black sunglasses that he wore to lighten the mood in the studio. Bono developed the character into a leather-clad egomaniac also called “The Fly”, and he assumed this alter ego for the band’s subsequent public appearances and live performances on the Zoo TV Tour.
Yes those nasty rumors are not true. Bono did not have any chest pains and has cleared his checkup – Which was routine.
It isn’t chest pains and it isn’t even vertigo, insists Bono. Just a routine checkup.
The U2 frontman denied reports he had been taken to the hospital after complaining of chest pains while on vacation in the south of France. Bono, 51, did go to Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco, but his spokeswoman said it was for a routine checkup.
“Despite press stories to the contrary, Bono has not suffered a recent health scare,” the spokeswoman said in a statement on the band’s website. “Reports of his being rushed to hospital for emergency treatment are untrue. Bono is in good health and enjoying a family holiday in the south of France.”
The scare was reported by the Irish Independent newspaper and picked up by several outlets.
