I’d like to start a series of U2 tribute band reviews here on U2 Radio; the thing is, I’ve only seen one U2 tribute band: the amazing Hollywood U2. Let’s get the obvious pun out of the way: No, they’re not even better than the real thing (and after meeting frontman Joe Hier – yes, stage […]
Read MoreU2 Fans Got a Surprise Tool Record When Buying ‘Songs of Innocence’
There’s simply no way to get U2’s Songs of Innocence without a bit of trouble: The band drew the ire of iTunes users everywhere when listeners found the album forced upon them via the Apple program during September. Now the group has gotten around to releasing a vinyl version of the controversial release and some […]
Read MoreU2101 – Invisible
I’m not much of a fan of American football. In fact, I can count on two fingers the number of times I’ve watched the sport in my adult life, and both of those times were due to the involvement of my favorite band. The first was back in 2002 when U2 played the Super Bowl […]

Has video of cement in an empty Vancouver parking lot ever garnished more attention than it has this past week? Sure, the Pacific Coliseum is locked up tighter than Fort Knox, but did you really think that was going to stop U2 fans? Child, please. Put up your barricades, black out your windows, seal all […]

The latest U2 news this week is that the band is in Vancouver for rehearsals, as it was confirmed that U2 rented out the Coliseum venue for a full month for tour rehearsals. What’s not confirmed is whether the video of the Coliseum door that is circulating around social media, with grainy audio of “Volcano,” […]

Originally, for the next lyrics post, I was going to cover Where The Streets Have No Name. But when I woke up the day before Easter, I was up too early and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I checked U2 Radio just for the heck of it and saw a post on Until The […]
Read More#U2Request Day: Are You Ready?
Well, are you? Because it’s here! Today’s the day when U2 fans around the world tweet the hell out of Guy Oseary (***update*** apparently, tagging Guy or anyone else is a clear violation of the rules and since I’m all about respecting the rules, scratch that part) in a concerted effort to get U2 to […]
Read More#U2REALREQUEST
So by now, unless you’re a mole living in a hole, you’ve heard of the folks at #U2request and what they’re trying to accomplish this Tuesday, April 14th. A day where U2 fans are to tweet out their song request using the hash tag ( or as I lovingly refer to it as…the number sign) […]
Read MoreDear Guy Oseary
Well played, Guy. Bravo! If your goal was for soul, gut wrenching speculation & innuendo, then you got us hook, line & sinker. One month out and as fans, we have exactly the same amount of information about this tour as we did five years ago, which is absolutely nothing. ISIS gives out more info […]

U2101: California (There is No End to Love)
I remember my first listen-through of Songs of Innocence. After the amazing opening combo of “The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)” and “Every Breaking Wave”, I was already in love with the album. When I heard the opening refrain of “California (There is No End to Love)”, with its obvious Beach Boys reference, though, I didn’t […]
