    You never said that. Try to explain yourself properly in future.

    Your post gave absolutely no indication of that, so cop on.

    Funny, I actually made an e&i playlist a few months ago, and the first 2 tracks were the ones seen in the 1 & 2 slot on that rehearsal list. I think they'd make for a great opening combo.

    Nothing like tetchy irritable U2 fans on boards, wha?

    Switch to decaf lads FFS, if i've not been clear then ask for more info rather than piling on with the "cop on" "don't be a prick" "try explaining yourself properly" snide comments.

    I expressed a perfectly reasonable opinion and got piled on. Nonsense.

    If they perform Raised By Wolves with the carbomb again it will appear samey and repetitive. It will strike me as lazy. I hope they don't do that. Leave it on the last tour where it was such a success.

    Shut up.

    The previous post before yours stated he would like the song to return. You said it was them running out of ideas.

    In other words, you didn't explain yourself properly and left a snide, sarky remark yourself. You then responded to me with a sarky, patronising post and only then were you told to cop on and were labelled a prick

    You know you didn't explain yourself properly, tried to be the big fella, got hopped on and are now playing the hypocritical victim.

    Well done.

    See, if you had wrote that originally, I wouldn't have called you out on anything as it was perfectly explained, which means no one would have called you a prick for being a prick

    I’d love if it came back with the car bomb maybe with a twist! Brilliant song.

    Ditto. Seeing it live transformed it for me. I'm also grateful in that I didn't know that much about the Dublin and Monaghan bombings prior to SoI. I do now.

    It really hit home personally to me as my mam and dad lived in Dublin then, and she heard the exact same report on the radio about the bomb, which was on the same road he often took home from work, so she was worried sick until he finally arrived home as of course no mobiles back then.

    Also they met in "The Crystal Ballroom" :D So SOI means a lot to me!

    But even still I think I'd love Raised By Wolves, love this vid they had made for it too

    Check your emails lads. They augmented reality thing has been released as an app. Basically you point the app at the screen and things happen on your phone. You can get a taste of it by pointing it at the SoE album cover.

    So for anyone who hates phones being stuck up at gigs, everyone has now been encouraged to do so!

    Just done it there. Can get a taster from pointing it at the album cover. Kinda cool

    Aah. I missed that bit. One could almost assume the opening track has been confirmed by this. Possibly playback?

    To be fair, it looks very cool. Reminds me of those Jonny Quest cartoons with the 3 dimensional bits!

    No it worked on the vinyl, and PC for me to be honest... May be the phone?

    I can imagine the new disclaimer :

    * You need the latest version of ios/android to attend this concert

    It is kinda cool though when pointing it at the album cover.

    What about the poor ****ers who are sitting behind the screen or who can't see it? :D

    Anyone know where I can find an e-mail address to contact Live Nation about my subscribers list from last year? I had a look on the website but there’s no sign.

    Maybe pointing at the screen before the show is all a master plan to make ur phone battery run so low you can't record any gig ??

    Worked on the PC cover for me

    Kind of wtf is the point, it only lasts about a min and is just an electronic image of Bono singing

    None really, but they probably got big bucks from some Silicon Valley crowd to test out this new app/tech.

    Zero interest. It just means more phones in the air for the first song. Hopefully it's faulty and causes all the phones to break :pac:

    The video for Love Is Bigger is desperate altogether anyway.

    Absolute tripe , I nearly spat up my cereal watching it ,I turned it off after 2 minutes.
    I can't believe that this is the official video ,its like something a junior cert student would make .

    The boys are trying way to hard to be relevant and every video for this album has been terrible .

    Bono will probably invite half this bunch up on stage in Dublin to do some twerking with Panti Bliss .:mad:
    Bring a box of eggs with ye lads .

    Meh, doesn't bother me.

    I love the song and it takes on other meanings for me. Videos don't sway me either way or at least I try not to let them.

    The video for One has them all in drag and it's about a son, who is gay, trying to reconcile with his father who is homophobic. Didn't stop the song taking on other meanings though

    It did make me want to walk from Dalkey to Killiney hill again though

    One thing I will say is though, anyone saying they're done with the band over this video (and there have been a few online) needs a long hard look at themselves
