Finally some positive international news.
I’m sure they are very upset at the global publicity the stunt has, and still is receiving
The only way the album can be deemed a failue is if their ticket sales for the upcoming tour are poor and I suspect that will not be the case
They got 100 million for the album with a single sale.
Yeah, they’re gutted right enough.
Shush you two, don’t let facts and logic get in the way of a good old bono bashing!
+1’s all round..
It’s an artistic failure, like everything they’ve done for the past two decades.
I don’t think you could call pop an artistic failure by any stretch.
Just a failure then, artistically.
You tell ’em MOFO
Has 9/11 become a standard method for dating something? Or has it actually got some relevance here?
In political and cultural affairs, particularly in US, yes it has.
I’m sure there’s an Unforgettable Fire connection.
Snort!!
Oh Mani you little devil you
Everyone look – Mani is being witty again!
I always arrange to go on dates on September 11th – its such an easy conversation starter – “where were you when it happened”, “can you believe its 13 years..” etc etc
i follow this up later in the evening with a discussion on the perils of a Nazi regime in the 21st century
Then by midnight the aul Khmer Rouge reacharound comes into play

Personally I go off the release of Defiantly Maybe… Can you believe it’s been 20 years?!
Awesome…. there’s nothing we like more in this country than some serious Irish success getting a massive international smackdown…. More of the lash please Mr.Grey, More!
Sorry that we, and the rest of the world, think U2, and Bono in particular, are a torpid wart on humanity’s swiss. Please forgive us.
You keep spelling “i” as “we” aubrey. It seems to be a condition.
Woah, we see what you did there Rotide!
Hated more than Large Oil rig? [Lars Ulrich] Nah!
having met Mr Ulrich I can confirm that he is in fact a nice guy
Think it’s a proven fact that Metallica were ahead of the curve when it came to piracy, etc.
They put themselves in the firing line (and they got hit hard). They seem to tour the US a lot less these days too.
They ballsed up the PR side of it but they were right all along.
That’s a really good article, wallops the nail square on its shiny cap.
