Review: Coldplay hits highs, lows in Sunrise concert

10 Nov 2008 07:42:13 PST

First came U2 to argue that profundity is not a cardinal sin or character flaw in rock music-making: It's cool to be grandiose if you write good hooks. Enter Coldplay, who have worked even harder than U2 at building up a musical language to express ambition of design and largeness of feeling.

Music DVD Review: U2 - Live At Red Rocks (Remastered With Bonus Tracks)

21 Sep 2008 23:53:57 PDT

Written by Glen Boyd
When U2 originally played their 1983 concert in the gorgeous setting of Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre, they hadn't quite conquered the world yet, but they were well on their way. It was on that same tour in support of the band's third album War, that U2 would play before 300,000 people a...

Opinion: U2's Timing Could Not Be Better!

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Barbara(aka Layla))
The timing could not be better, its as if Bono and the boys knew I needed this to get me through the post Bruce Tour blues. I can see some of my readers cringing as they realize that this blog will focus way too much on U2 for the next year or so. I will try not to get carried away like I did with Bruce, bu...

It's a weird phenomenon: We keep playing, and kids are having a great time every summer. Judging by their drum sound on songs like 2004's "First Straw," Dr. Rock sounds like the perfect fit. 311 Are The New Grateful Dead, Drummer Chad Sexton Says Before Tour With Snoop Dogg [MTV]

Written by U2isABLE
So for now, I’ll continue to enjoy the appetizer gigs…knowing that I’ll be having a smorgasbord in less than a year’s time. From time to time, I indulge in the guilty pleasure of going to gigs by artists other than U2. I know, seems like I’m cheating on Hitman and Sparky, but heck - they don’t tou...

Opinion: Considering the Unforgettable Fire

21 Apr 2008 07:15:01 PDT

Written by cavman
The faith of Bono, Edge and Larry was also a problem on their early tours. It built a barrier in their relationship with Adam and Paul. At the time, Adam didn’t share their faith. As they huddled in the back of the bus to read the Bible, pray, sing and talk, Adam was left out. He feared being kick...

Opinion: U2 3D Brings Hyperreal Arena Rock to the Multiplex

22 Jan 2008 12:40:34 PST

I was lying. The film I had just seen -- the world's first three-dimensional live-action concert film -- was astounding. I just didn't want to tell him that, because he was one of U2 3D's producers. What if I changed my mind before writing this review? Better to form an opinion after my post-sho...

As I left the Imax theater after seeing U2 3D, a man asked me, "So, what did you think?" Using my best Larry David impression, I responded, "Pretty good. Pretty... pretty good." I was lying.

Opinion: Rock & Roll Feature: U2 Plants the Joshua Tree

01 Aug 2007 05:58:07 PDT

Written by D.A.N.
I came to U2 unfortunately through a “Best of” collection, never my favorite way to first experience a band as they rarely give a truly accurate representation of what the band sounds like. When I came back to listen to the band's actual albums a few years later I found, as is typical, some of t...

It was early December in 2005, and Australians everywhere geared up to purchase tickets to what would be a sell-out concert in record time. U2 was coming to Australia for the first time in eight years. Then, weeks before the scheduled show, U2 cancelled, citing a death in the family of one of t...
