Nou, het is overgenomen uit de Q... maarja, daarom niet minder leuk om te lezen het gaat een beetje over het album, over Bono zelf vooral... naja, je leest wat meer over Bono als mens ipv Bono als de rockster.....

'Vertigo' is now at the top of the charts in the UK, Ireland, Denmark and Italy.
And after just one week of release, it is already top five in Austria, Australia, Holland and Norway - with more chart news coming in every day.
In the US 'Vertigo' is at the top of the Modern Rock Top Forty.
The new single is already a huge download smash worldwide - topping iTunes sales and still No 1 in the UK download charts, six weeks after first arriving there.
Het sterke gerucht gaat dat U2 vanavond tijdens de MTV European Music Awards zal optreden. Aldus Novastar vanmorgen bij Giel op 3FM.
Lijkt me niet, Bono en Edge treden vandaag op bij de opening van de bibliotheek van Bill Clinton...quote:Op donderdag 18 november 2004 09:29 schreef Roel_Jewel het volgende:

Review: How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
Rolling Stone, November 17, 2004
Rob Sheffield
(Four stars)
Halfway through the excellent new U2 album, Bono announces, "I like the sound of my own voice." Well-said, lad; well-said. Ever since U2 started making noise in Dublin several hundred bloody Sundays ago, Bono has grooved to the sound of his own gargantuan rockness. Ego, shmego -- this is one rock-star madman who should never scale down his epic ambitions. As the old Zen proverb goes, you will find no reasonable men on the tops of great mountains, and U2's brilliance is their refusal to be reasonable. U2 were a drag in the 1990s, when they were trying to be cool, ironic hipsters. Feh! Nobody wants a skinny Santa, and for damn sure nobody wants a hipster Bono. We want him over the top, playing with unforgettable fire. We want him to sing in Latin or feed the world or play Jesus to the lepers in his head. We want him to be Bono. Nobody else is even remotely qualified.
U2 bring that old-school, wide-awake fervor to How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The last time we heard from them, All That You Can't Leave Behind, U2 were auditioning for the job of the World's Biggest Rock & Roll Band. They trimmed the Euro-techno pomp, sped up the tempos and let the Edge define the songs with his revitalized guitar. Well, they got the job.
On Atomic Bomb, they're not auditioning anymore. This is grandiose music from grandiose men, sweatlessly confident in the execution of their duties. Hardly any of the eleven songs break the five-minute mark or stray from the punchy formula of All That You Can't Leave Behind. They've gotten over their midcareer anxiety about whether they're cool enough. Now, they just hand it to the Edge and let it rip.
During the course of Atomic Bomb, you will be urged to ponder death ("Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"), birth ("Original of the Species"), God ("Yahweh"), love ("A Man and a Woman"), war ("Love and Peace or Else") and peace ("City of Blinding Lights"), which barely gives you time to ponder whether the bassist has been listening to Interpol. "Vertigo" sets the pace, a thirty-second ad jingle blown up to three great minutes, with a riff nicked from Sonic Youth's "Dirty Boots." "City of Blinding Lights" begins with a long Edge guitar intro, building into a bittersweet lament. "Yahweh" continues a U2 tradition, the album-closing chitchat with the Lord. It's too long and too slow, but that's part of the tradition.
Like all U2 albums, Atomic Bomb has false steps, experimental bathroom breaks and moments when the lofty ambitions crash into the nearest wall. As America staggers punch-drunk into another four-year moment we can't get out of, it would be a real pleasure if the political tunes had any depth. (How long? How long must we sing this song?) But Bono scores a direct hit on "One Step Closer," an intimate ballad about his father's death from cancer in 2001; "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" is the song U2 did at the funeral. When Bono sings, "You're the reason why I have the operas in me," his grief and his grandiosity seem to come from the same place in his heart. It's a reminder that what makes U2 so big isn't really their clever ideas, or even their intelligence -- it's the warmth that all too few rock stars have any idea how to turn into music.

Bovendien treden ze morgen of overmorgen in New York op. Ze blijven niet op en neer vliegen, denk ik
Ik hoorde van een medewerker van de postbank dat U2 liever niet in de Arena zou willen spelen maar bij voorkeur in het Gerledome... dat zijn wel 60.000 bezoekers minder over 3 dagen. Lijkt me sterk dat ze uit principe zoveel geld kwijtraken.
Gelredome heeft ook al zo'n geweldige akoestiek
Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG! Zoom-Boing! Z'nourrwringmm

Maar waaorm niet de kuip, als je dan toch naar een stadion gaat.
Of moet er tegenwoordig ene dak op een stadion zitten wil het interresant zijn?
Tja, het weer in juni hoeft niet per se goed te zijn natuurlijk Maar ik ben ook voorstander van de Kuip.
Tijdens de popmart tour, regende dat het goot tijdens het voorprogramma (skunk anansie), maar toen U2 begon was het ineens droogquote:Op vrijdag 19 november 2004 12:40 schreef Toffe_Ellende het volgende:
