I love that U2 is an equal partnership made of four guys who’ve known each other intimately for almost forty years now. After that length of time, you can get to know another person pretty well, and that includes every horrible, ugly, thing in their personality. People sometimes like to convince themselves that being best […]
Read MoreThe Larry Mullen Band
If you know me, you know I love Larry Mullen. If you don’t know me, I am the woman at the U2 show wearing my Larry Mullen Band shirt staring at the drummer while everyone else is looking at the lead singer. Yeah that’s me. My love for Larry began 27 years ago, and I […]
Read MoreForget Logic, Follow your Passion – U2 360 Anaheim2 6.18.11
My musical journey of the past 22 years, on the road with U2 from the Zoo Tv tour to the 360 tour, has taken me to many places, introduced to me to great people, and taught me valuable life lessons. Of the 75 U2 concerts I have attended, the second show in Anaheim, California, on […]
Read MoreCovering U2 – Strung Out on U2
I thought that this week, I’d try something a little different. Many of us have heard each of U2’s songs, the accompanying remixes, radio edits, and remasters so much that we’ve got every note and nuance memorized. One area of U2 fandom that I don’t see covered as much, is the realm of other artist’s […]
Read MoreU2 101 – God Part II
A few weeks back, when I first started writing these in-depth looks at individual songs, fellow writer Joe Pittella (of Cup of Joe and U2 Confessional fame) mentioned that he’d like to see a breakdown done on God Part II. Knowing him, he might well have been joking, but it’s a great, under-appreciated song, and […]
Read MoreWhy U2? – Reason #4
There’s nothing like being part of history. It seems like anytime someone finds out that I’m a U2 fan, they want to tear the band down, and it’s true that U2 don’t have a lot of high-charting singles in the US where I live. I even read occasionally where some celebrity, like Noel Gallagher, has […]
Read MoreU2 Confessional Box: Repent Here!
Has the 1st week of Lent put your “I’ll Go Crazy if I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight” lifestyle into submission? Do wild thoughts still escape every time she walks by? Are you like a needle to sin’s spoon? Then get on your knees, boys & girls, and hop into U2radio.com’s confessional box to cleanse your soul. […]
Read MoreNotable Shows – Honolulu ’06
This week’s notable show comes from the Vertigo Tour. It’s last show, in fact, which took place on the 9th of December, 2006, in the beautiful state of Hawaii. I remember the atmosphere as being one of celebration – The Vertigo tour had been fraught from the beginning, with several postponements, controversies over ticket sales, […]
Read MorePoll Question: Random songs or Full concerts in playlist
We haven’t done a poll in a good while (since 3/2011) so I figured it was time. I’m shuffling around the playlist at U2Radio and was curious to know your preference in how we stream the live U2 tracks here. [polldaddy poll=7871528] Thanks for your time!
Read MoreU2 101 – Staring at the Sun
Of course, like all U2 fans, my mind is on the ongoing saga concerning the long-awaited 13th album. Is it delayed, or isn’t it? What if it never comes out – does that mean the band will never tour again? I don’t need to rehash the whole painful debacle for you, but it did get […]
