Quoted from rendevous


I'd say U2 were still putting out reasonably good albums until that last plank was foisted upon us. Saw a vid of their latest tour and I hate to say but sadly I was very bored.

But, after 'One' most bands would give up. I'd U2 had better pull it outta the bag with the next one.

On the topic of original members sticking together I believe Queen did that until Mercury died in 1991. They are another outfit who are turning out turgid albums since then. Have to say though, and I never thought I would, the live gigs with Paul Rogers of Free were rather good. But I won't forive for that 5ive thing. They really should know better.

The last album grows on you over time... i like a about 6 songs really well on it.  And out of 10, in this day and age, can you get that from any other band?  Third eye Blind? The Killers? Cold Play? ... Shit. G'luck.  Hell, even RadioHead.

I love the anthematic vibe the new U2 album gave off. Every song had huge anthems to it... Sure it wasn't as good as MAtthew Good's kick ass Vancouver album, but it was good.  I can't wait to hear U2 Sons of Ascent album.  Bono said it's an album of ballads, basically.  And U2 can do a ballad better than anyone.

Do me a favor, though.  Listen to "Unknown CalleR" by yourself. It's a very empowering song.  It has a lot to say and the entire bands vocal output really pushes the song and drives it. IT's like you have a team of people behind you, telling you " Hey, it's alright... You can take whatever they throw"  That's what I get out of the song.  Very slick tune.

We also forget they're sitting on a wealth of material they haven't even released yet... Edge said they have a vault of material that they could sit back, re master and tweak then distribute.  Hell, the Steve Lillywhite session was shelved all together. And, to me, that was exciting stuff... It was very Beatlish and that is something I was very impressed by.  Listen to just "Window in the Sky"   -- The Beatles are written all over it.

Do me 1 last favor... Watch that.  Tell me that's boring.  U2 are 1 of a kind. They are the best at what they do.  They are so talented and so at ease with who and what they do that they make these new bands seem like Cat shit in your bathtub.

George,

I believe Rutsey is credited on the first album with the studio work, and then Peart came in for the tour...

Rendezvous,

Yes, no doubt if Freddie would have lived they'd be ahead of U2 in this category, since Queen recorded their eponymous album in 1972 (still a couple of years off of ZZ Top's formation though...)

And Greg - get out of my head, man!  I'm going to re-name this thread "really difficult music trivia except for Greg who's a walking music encyclopedia"!

Yes, "Aja" was what I was after - maybe I shouldn't have given the decade as a clue?

It was just process of elimination for the most part.  I consulted my iTunes and skimmed down the lists thinking of songs with female names.  Initially I thought it was an album by the Allman Brothers, but they only had two single female names on any one album.  Then I thought it was Jefferson Starship but those dates were all over the place.  Then I saw Steely Dan and "Josie" from the Aja album stood out to me, so I consulted the full Aja album listing on Wikipedia and there was Peg.  Josie, Aja, Peg!

So that doesn't count as cheating does it?


Be excellent to each other

Like I always tell them at work, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying!

Facetiously of course...

The Beatles are still releasing 'new' albums after 47 years.

Same lineup too.

Stevie,

The Beatles have nothing on Tupac though - the hardest working dead man in show biz...

In the Sopranos there was a scene where Tony and Camilla couldn't sleep because AJ was playing a loud death metal song in his room.

What was the name of the song and band?

Not just my boot. You lucky boy.

CR, was it Opeth? Maybe not. Slipknot? Sounded like them. Or was that a building site?

Beatles are also managing to change the songwriting credits thanks to selfless work by Macca to further ruin whatever decency his name had left. The tight daft feckin' eejit.

And I do believe Radiohead have had the same line-up since their formation in 1985. Oh yes.

Haven't heard about Macca lately, RV? Do you mean he's trying to get the credits put as McCartney-Lennon?
That would be ironic as the very first Beatle songs are listed that way. John convinced him to reverse it, cos 'it sounded much better'.

On that subject, there's a new film out in December called 'Nowhere Boy', about John's early life. Apparently they haven't white washed it at all. He was a bit of nasty bugger young JL.
But of course, we still love him.
