The U2 360 Tour

U2 rocks! I don't see any reason why people would not like them. If they can give me a reason for lambasting them, hell, I would give them hundred reasons why they should be ashamed of themselves.

Facebook have let me in to some pictures of my friends attending their concerts in Europe. If they would go here and perform a concert, I would definitely buy a ticket no matter how much it would cost me. I would have wanted to disapparate to Dublin to hear them sing, see my Bono back to back with "The Script". Some wishful thinking!

Originally they have called themselves "Feedback" and later on changed their name to "Hype". And as they were stepping up the ladder of success, U2 emerged as the victorious and sweetest name for them.

They are one of the few bands who have achieved success across three decades on both the artistic and business sides of the music industry. They have broken free form the traditional confinements of a rock band and rock music so to speak.

They have shattered the glass that have been dictating rock musicians on what they could and they couldn't do by combining an original sound with honest lyrics and a challenging social message. That has been U2s trademark. They have left a print in the hearts of their fans and have earned the respect of their peers and critics all around the world.

Today, they are successfully performing in 14 cities across Europe which includes Barcelona, Milan, Paris, Nice, Berlin, Amsterdam, Dublin, Gothenburg, Gelsenkirchen, Chorzow, Zagreb, London, Sheffield and Glasgow, Cardiff. Their European tour will be followed by a North America tour (Chicago, Dallas, Tampa, NY, Atlanta, Raleigh, Houston, Norman Phoenix, Las Vegas, LA, Houston and Boston) and 2 cities in Canada (Toronto and Vancouver). The U2 360 Tour site has a complete listing, schedule, packages, and ticket availability.

Guys wake up, if you still haven't found what you are looking for then I think you should hear me say - U2 rocks and will forever rock!!!

You turn my world upside down

Music turns my world upside down. Felt like my eyes are drooping so I decided to put aside Kyle for the meantime. I checked out my limewire songs and downloaded only four. Lucky me, got one of my faves...the live and acoustic version of U2.

While I was trying to listen only to the preview, I got sucked and caught up in the swirling and sudden randomness of the WMPs visuaizations. My eyes fixated on the effects while my mind wanders around. Felt like I end up somewhere....the beat and rhythm...dragged me to a solitary fortress where I lost myself.

Pulling back to reality, I heard the words that seemeed to echo in through the plugged earphones....."See the stone set in your eyes, see the thorn twist on your side, I wait for you. Sleight of hand and twist of fate, on a bed of nails, he makes me wait, and wait without you"....Suddenly, I swirled back to a moment of mixed thoughts...then it hits me again "Through the storm, we reach the shore, you give it all but I want more, and I'm waiting for you"...Is it the sound of the guitar?the voice of U2?or the memories associated with every line that makes my heart pound louder?...."My hands are tied, my body bruised he's got me with, .....NOTHING LEFT TO WIN AND NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE, WITH OR WITHOUT YOU"....so I played it again...trying to figure out what makes it different from the rest...but I just keep on hearing the words..."WITH OR WITHOUT YOU"

You are my music. You complete me with your sweet melody that keeps my heart beating. With your rhythm that pumps up blood flowing in my veins. With your words that save me from drowning in this chaotic world. But when I turn off the volume...my music slowly fades....turning the room into a deafening silence...I have to learn to appreciate the silence and forget humming my music. Kiss me away....
