I wish I could travel back in time to see a Zoo TV show, I just watched that dvd and it was swwweeeet

4/22/2009 9:05:15 PM

I like U2, but not enough to pay to see them. However, I am excited about Muse. I got lower level tickets.

As long as Muse plays Hysteria, Knights of Cydonia, Stockholm Syndrome, and Citizens Erased I'm gonna be on cloud 9.

I'm going. But I'm more excited about seeing a concert at Carter Finley. Not the biggest U2 fan, but I hope it's a good time.

U2 criticized for tour's environmental impact

Quote :

"U2 is being criticized by environmental activists for the carbon footprint that the band's massive U2 360 Tour is leaving on Earth, according to Gigwise.com. Environmental consultant Helen Roberts of Carbonfootprint.com told the Belfast Telegraph, 'The carbon footprint generated by U2's 44 concerts this year is equal to carbon created by the four band members traveling the (34) million miles from Earth to Mars in a passenger plane . . . Just looking at the 44 concerts this year, the band will create enough carbon to fly all 90,000 people attending one of their Wembley concerts to Dublin. To offset this year's carbon emissions, U2 would need to plant 20,118 trees.'"

Quote :

"According to the New York Times, U2 is buying carbon offsets to make up for the potential damage the tour is doing."

Sweet Jesus. Will the tree-huggers ever give it a rest?

7/21/2009 9:22:55 AM

Tell me about it, its fucking pathetic. You'd think their planes and trucks were spewing dead babies into the air or something

7/21/2009 10:28:12 AM

dead aborted babies

7/21/2009 11:34:22 AM

dead aborted unbaptized babies

7/21/2009 11:45:04 AM

not impressed with the setlists so far on this tour

hope it gets better once they get into the US leg

7/21/2009 11:46:48 AM

^ Wow. I agree.

7/21/2009 12:01:44 PM

bono is such a douche ... do you think his boots are elevated enough so he can stand eye to eye with president bush

7/21/2009 2:11:21 PM

He's a tiny guy and always wears lifts. He actually jokes about it often.

Speaking of Bono and Bush:

7/21/2009 2:52:47 PM

Whats the deal with Blackberry and U2?

7/21/2009 4:13:40 PM

^ BlackBerry's sponsoring the tour.

[Edited on July 22, 2009 at 8:56 AM. Reason : What, is there something else happening that I haven't heard about?]

7/22/2009 8:49:35 AM

last night's setlist was a little better (I don't know if anybody here doesn't want spoilers so...)















mostly because Bad's back in baby

7/22/2009 9:51:42 AM

^^ I heard something about interacting with your blackberry during the concert. Might have just been speculation.

7/22/2009 10:03:49 AM

^ This is what I found:

13. What does it mean that the tour is being sponsored by Blackberry?

Quote :

"It means U2 gets some extra money, which in turn allows them to keep ticket prices reasonable and pay for this gargantuan stage design. It also probably means there will be some extra U2-related content available to Blackberry users, and there may be something during the shows for Blackberry users -- a way to interact with the concert. This is what Paul McGuinness said when the tour was announced: 'This tour announcement marks the first stage of a relationship and shared vision between RIM and U2 that we expect will lead to new and innovative ways to enhance the mobile music experience on the BlackBerry platform for U2 fans. We look forward to sharing more details as the relationship unfolds.'"

http://www.u2tours.com/faq/

This is the kind of shit that I find annoying--We're interactive! I usually "interact" at a concert by listening and responding to the music that's being played for me.

7/22/2009 12:33:13 PM

Wait...U2 is doing something schmaltzy and lame?

YOU'RE KIDDING

Also, why doesn't Bono give up on the lifts? That shit is lamer than Paul Simon's hat, and even he's given that up now.

7/22/2009 5:23:38 PM

^ I wasn't really referring to U2. But your list of musical heroes never did anything "schmaltzy and lame"? Really?

Setting the Stage
By Dave Pond, Web Communications

Quote :

"U2's much-anticipated appearance on campus Oct. 3 will not only mark the end of Carter-Finley Stadium’s 11-year hiatus from holding special events, it will also highlight NC State and U2 lead singer Bono’s shared passion for environmental issues while helping to bring more than 1,500 temporary jobs to workers in our community. 'We're in this for one reason and one reason only – to boost the economy for the university and the city of Raleigh,' said Ray Brincefield, assistant athletics director for outdoor facilities at NC State. 'It's a great thing to be able to use our football stadium to aid the local economy. 'Our mission was to employ people who would otherwise not have a job for that week,' he said. 'There’s no cost to the athletic department or the university, and no tax dollars are being used to bring this show to Carter-Finley Stadium.'"

Quote :

"NC State chancellor Jim Woodward said the university is delighted to host U2 not only because of the band members’ talent, but also because of their collective character and community-minded approach to performing and serving people around the world – a mindset similar to that possessed by NC State students, faculty and staff. 'U2 always has been tenacious and focused on and off stage,' Woodward said. 'They make a difference – musically, socially, economically – and NC State is proud to be a part of that.'"

Well, good thing we can't waste money on $8 beer in the stadium because we have to pay $20 for parking...

9/25/2009 8:14:03 AM

^ Dat "Claw" don't come cheap, son. They don't sell 'em at Home Depot.

9/25/2009 8:36:53 AM

9/25/2009 11:58:44 AM

I've given away 46 tickets to this show so far. If any of you nerds are doing the Centennial Campus Challenge stuff, I'll be out there on Tuesday giving another pair away.
