| | A LONG STRANGE TRIP TO 1979 |
| | When the time came for paring down the nearly 40 songs in contention for what would be a 28-song double-CD, it was an easy call for Flood, the famed producer (U2, PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails) who shepherded Mellon Collie through its six-month studio birth with Alan Moulder and Corgan. | | | The song, an indictment of rock stardom that Corgan says is done at least partially tongue in cheek, is mirrored by a video that suggests a connection between the frantic activity in a concert mosh pit and the oppressive conditions in a labor camp. | | | The song is a sparse, atmospheric slice of dance pop, reminiscent of an early New Order or Cure track. |

| | There are additional U2 new song names available. | | | UB40 combined with U2 This group would've formed when all band members in each band were at least 40. | | | I should have known Bono wouldn't have written such bad lyrics for a song, especially since 'The Sweetest Thing' is supposed to have a real meaning. |

| | New Years Day (5/5)- Awesome song, best song on the album and probobly my fav U2 song, Cool bassline,awesome guitar, great singing and lyrics, its a perfect song. | | | By my count there are six great songs on this album: Sunday Bloody Sunday, Seconds, New Year's Day, Two Hearts Beat as One, Surrender, and "40". | | | Other classics (in my opinion) include "New Year's Day", "Like a Song" (don't know why, but never received any airplay), "Two Hearts Beat as One, and "40", the latter of which, even today, is played often to close out the group's live sets. |

| | The lyrics are based on Psalm 40 from the Bible, the most plausible reasoning behind the title of the song. | | | "Beautiful Day" has been used by the CBS television network as the theme song for its 2002 Fall promotions, which was likely allowed as part of the deal in which CBS agreed to air U2's Slane Concert TV special. | | | That lyric is the title of a 1991 album by another Dublin band called Something Happens, a band which was often called "the next U2" in their late 80s, early 90s heyday. |

| | The song is based on Psalm 40 and the band states that there is chance for peace and understanding all though things are bleak. | | | "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "40" take the subject of Ireland's troubles head-on, while it's the subtext of "New Year's Day," which is about a sundered love relationship symbolic of a greater division. | | | Sunday Bloody Sunday gets my hopes up and it is my all time favorite U2 song. |

| | The recording included about 35 seconds of a U2 song, American Top 40 icon Casey Kasem making disparaging comments about the band ("These guys are from England and who gives a shit?") while bawling out his staff, CB-radio conversation, and inane commentary from The Weatherman, one of the group's occasional members. | | | From the start, Island's argument had been one of economics: Negativland was attempting to profit from U2's popularity, and the group had timed its decoy release to coincide with an upcoming U2 release (previously Joshua Tree had sold more than 6 million copies in the US). | | | The story is about Negativland, a collective of three or more friends who sometimes get together to make music. |

| | sharks and minnows press |
| | Although the band’s sound might not be familiar within the context of its first two albums, think of any band from the past 30 or even 40 years that is considered a major influence in today’s indie music scene, and you are bound to hear it somewhere on this album. | | | Opening the album with "Sunday Driver" was a smart move, Sharks and Minnows; the song sounds like a Phil Spector produced girl group hit, albeit one without any female singers. | | | Sharks and Minnows -- the members of whom, bassist Chad Spangler, drummer Daniel Heisel and singer/guitarist/sole song-writer Christopher Simony, have been playing in bands in Atlanta since high school -- sound like what you'd expect from a trio where, live, two members' shirts are tucked in while the other's is tattered. |

| | U2 brings message of peace to The Palace - 10/25/05 |
| | Things were breezier at the onset of the 135-minute, 20-plus song show, with Bono appearing as if out of thin air at the tip of the stage's ellipse-shaped catwalk, in front of more than 20,000 mostly thirty-something fans. | | | No matter where you were sitting, U2's stirring and surprising inclusion of "Miss Sarajevo" -- recorded with Luciano Pavarotti, under the pseudonym the Passengers, in the mid-'90s -- in the set was a revelation, especially with Bono capably filling in Pavarotti's vocal duties. | | | U2's The Edge, left, and Bono share the mic during a sold-out show at The Palace of Auburn Hills on Monday. |

| | Zoo TV Tour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The tour demonstrated immense confidence in the new album, typically opening with six to eight consecutive new songs before playing any old material, surrounding the songs with bewildering visual effects and a subversive take on the band's collective persona. | | | One of the other main highlights of the tour was Bono's array of on-stage personas, the most prominent of which was The Fly, who was also immortalised in the music video for the song "The Fly". | | | Zoo TV was a massive, elaborate, innovative, postmodern, multifaceted and multimedia, and very commercially successful world concert tour by the rock band U2 that took place in arenas and stadiums during 1992 and 1993. |

| | U2 Feedback - my poem inspired by "Beautiful Day" |
| | Bono has been such a big inspiration for me, and when I wrote that poem it was after I heard that first 40 second clip (I just kept playing it over and over as the words came out, I knew the song was going to be ethereal, and so I just went with that theme). | | | U2 Feedback - my poem inspired by "Beautiful Day" | | | A hasty poem was the result, but I haven't read it since I wrote it down, so I'll have to polish it some. |
