Agreed.

Check this out. It's a performance of Love is Blindness, my favorite Achtung Baby track, from the 1992 Zoo TV tour.



The Edge's solo is orgasmic.

Why is Bono wearing make up?!

This song has never been one of my favourites. still, worth a watch/listen. I was never that keen on Until the End of the World either.

On the Zoo TV tour, as part of the concept, Bono would dress up as different characters based on Achtung Baby. Sounds pretty gimmicky if you ask me, but I've heard that the tour was fantastic.

Ah, I remember watching the concert on Youtube recently, they're like that, very over the top and dramatic, too much for my liking. I believe the best bands need to go out, stand there, play their stuff. Then f*ck off.

For that concert, they did Until The End Of The World, Bono and Edge were at opposite sides of 2 bridges, and the bridges were moving close together, and they were stretching to hold each others hands. OTT if you ask me.

October has a few good tracks on it, like Fire and Gloria

Jay-Z is a horrible MC, I don't think any of his albums are even remotely good, and he's the most overrated rapper of all time, bar none.

Most musicians are egoists who can only play enough to produce and write (please be nice!)

System Of A Down are the spiritual successors to Dead Kennedys.
