Welkom in het Centrale U2-topic. De verzamelplaats van U2 adepten op FOK!. Ook toegankelijk voor gewone liefhebbers, geinteresseerden en welke opties je nog meer hebt. U2 haters zullen uiteraard publiekelijk gelynched en verbannen worden

Of, om het in de woorden van Waxxer te zeggen:
quote:
Dan is Bono weer te oud, dan is de rest dat opeens ook, dan zijn het opeens een stel hypocriete Ieren die vrede en saamhorigheid prediken, maar ondertussen wel even met een milieuvervuilend vliegtuig op-en-neer vliegen om een paar liedjes op te nemen. Dan is het weer zo dat ze zo monotoom zijn en nooit origineel, dat ze nooit vernieuwend zijn en ons altijd weer "verrassen" met dezelfde hapklare brokken, slechts veranderd middels een ander piepje of bliepje. Dan is het weer zo dat ze te veel op Coldplay willen lijken om het jonge publiek te bereiken of dat ze Mary J. Blidge of hoe je die naam ook moet schrijven en/of uitspreken nodig hebben om hun uitgeleefde lijven en geesten eigentijds te doen laten lijken. En dan hebben we het nog niet eens over die tenenkrommende bijnamen, daar zou je een heel nieuwe topicreeks aan kunnen wijden!

Niets van dat alles, al die meningen van cultuurbarbaren, van wereldvreemden en neurotische zuurpruimen. In de bijna dertig jaar dat de band bestaat, is het uitgegroeid tot een begrip. U2 is een grote inspiratiebron, een band met een eigen geluid dat keer op keer weer terugkeert in hun muziek. Gelukkig smaken verschillen altijd, ook onder de fans. En zeg nou zelf: ook Renault brengt wel eens modellen op de markt waar niet iedereen voor valt.
Welkom in het U2-topic!

The U2 360° Tour will visit 14 cities across Europe including dates in Milan, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, Dublin, Chorzow, Berlin, Gelsenkirchen, London, Sheffield and Glasgow before finishing at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on August 22.
Die info is een beetje tegenstrijdig. De tour doet 14 steden aan. In de concertlijst (dus met data erbij) staan er 14. En da's dus zonder Gelsenkirchen. En die staat wel weer in die gequote tekst vermeld...

Op een maandag. En in de arena. Niet echt dat je zegt wat boffen we weer.
Er zijn Europese landen waar een groter bevolkingsdeel moeite heeft de eindjes aan elkaar te knopen, maar waar supermarktgevechten om rollen zacht Page-toiletpapier toch uitblijven.

Vanaf woensdag dus? Ik hoop dat ik dan gewoon bij de donderdag groep zit. Maar hoe gaat dit eigenlijk: er is gewoon een beperkt aantal kaarten voor de fanclub ter beschikking gesteld per land? Dus niet dat in theorie de hele staanplaatssectie uitverkocht is voordat de reguliere verkoop begint.

Wij vertrekken vrijdagochtend voor een weekendje weg, maar dan vind er - als ik het goed begrijp - dus ook een verkoop plaats? Hopen dat het 's ochtends is dan...

edit: sorry zie net Freuds post pas. Is me duidelijk.
