    Hi, if i register for the pre-sale (european tours) does that guarantee me access to decent tickets on release date?

    It costs I believe 50.00e to register?

    Maybe you might wanna get off your high horse and accept some of us have a different perspective and taste other than yourself...

    "Oh it's ****e it's ****e! It's ****e because I say so on boards.ie!!! Give me lots of attention baaaaaaa"

    Those artists you list there, I can honestly say, I've heard the stuff you listed and it does nothing for me! Not one thing!

    In fact, I can turn around and say that, with the exception of the odd song here and there and seeing him live, Springsteen has done nothing for me! I'd rather listen to Magnificent or Raised By Wolves than some of his stuff.....In fact, I'd rather listen to Panto Quo's (that's the Rossi/Parfitt band, not the original band) album Heavy Traffic, than some of the stuff you listed...

    "Oh Bowie is so innovative and cool on his last album ooooo amazing"
    I thought it was a pile of ****e....Does that make it ****e? Does that make it less accessible for others?

    Is that me accepting mediocrity? No! It's having a different perspective and taste than yours.

    Lack of artistry :D Incredibly snobbish attitude to have.

    Songs of Innocence was a good little record. The tour was spectacular.

    I didnt like U2 for years. Thought some of the singles from the 90s were good, that was it. Songs of Innocence is the album that got me into them majorly. Loved the concept, sound and the songs. The tour sealed the deal for me. I'd wasted many a year with my back turned to them. The shame.

    Songs of Experience is looking pretty decent to me so far. Not long now!

    Loving the sound on American Soul. Clear as day the Royal Blood influence(one of them is a producer on the album).

    Nope. Don't like the song.

    Are you one of those people who listens to Paul Simon lighting a cigarette and muses to himself, "Hmmm the way he lit that was very artistic. Reminds me on when I fell off my bike when I was 11. A haunting experience. I am a musical intellect?"

    I'm sure your maverick genius out weighs mine and others laughable music knowledge and taste

    Can't wait for your album

    I'd imagine the setup will be almost identical. Obviously vastly different setlist and show, but staging could even be the same with some minor tweaks.

    They're saying no more songs from the JT but, The Edge said he wrote Streets to be the ultimate live U2 song so, they couldn't drop that. Especially since they "got it back" last tour. Was a thrill to be part of the bounce during it for once last time

    Agree, it’s the ultimate live song. But apparently Bono and Edge both wanted to drop it for Vertigo tour until Larry put his foot down.

    I’d be happy enough for them to leave it out for one tour, on condition that they replace it with a real classic like Two Hearts Beat as One or An Cat Dubh.... not Stuck in a Moment!!!

    U2 ignoring streets and the whole JT album is like Bryan Adams leaving Summe of 69 out or Bon Jovi leaving out Livin on a prayer. It just doesn't sit right

    I pre ordered the deluxe version of the album yesterday, do I get a presale code with the album or will it be mailed to me when European shows are announced ? Could we be looking at ending the tour in the 3 arena Dec 2018 ?


    So a deluxe version of the album comes with a presale code? I can't see any mention of it on u2.com.

    Two hearts was done on the innocence tour. Was alright but, didn't have the power Out Of Control, Gloria or Electric Co had

    Wish Larry didnt bother. They ruined Streets on that tour with the whole African flags thing.

    Just realised that my previous years membership to U2.com is worthless in the context of this new presale. Apparently if you joined after December 2016 you are lumped in with the 'Innocence' group which is the second presale group.

    Yeah. That’s the impression I got from seeing videos of it but I’d still like to hear it live myself though.

    You should still be able to get tickets in the Innocence group. Particularly now that there’s a third presale group for the verified fans who buy he album. Someone in the second group should be fine.

    It is funny how they are still able to play songs like Out of Control and Electric Co so well but they dont seem to be able to play their 90's stuff that well anymore at all. The Fly is an obvious example.

    Zoo Station sounded pretty good on the Innocence tour tbf.

    The Fly.. It's not better or worse, just different version. Same with Real Thing.

    Until The End Of The World, Zooropa are better these days. One is still the same really

    Discotheque was so much better on the Vertigo tour!!

    Would love to hear a full band version of Stay and If God Will Send His Angels

    More Pop songs would be great! But they clearly don’t think much of the album, given that they totally ignored its 20th anniversary this year.

    The Edge said he tried to get Playboy Mansion played on the Innocence tour but, the rest weren't keen.

    He also said recently he's just discovered the fans' love of the album. Only thing he regrets about it is not finishing it properly. Hence the mixes that came out after
