Okay Nikki,

If Matthew can have one, why not U2.. Put all things U2 in here..

I will keep you all posted on the tour when it is announced..Where, When and price. I should know in a few weeks..

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

I don't usually listen to U2. But every once in a while I'll have the urge to listen to one of their albums.

U2's awesome. :nod: Their entire catalogue is on my list of "to get" albums... and has been for a long time... *sigh* I wish I was rich.

damnNikki too bad I didn't know you about 10 years ago.. LOL. My friend worked at Polygram(which Island was part of) and she got me all the U2 CD's for cheap.. I had to do the everything up to Acthung on cd cause I had them on Vinyl..

I really want the IPOD. from what I have been reading they are eventually going to have the whole U2 catalogue, plus B-sides and rarities. i also heard tehy are looking into uploading the live shows next year for people to put on their IPODS. I need to find a place that will do layaway or something. I am too broke to get one now..

I will send you one.. LOL...(ships Nikki a U2 CD)

you can also try ebay for some of the older CD's.. I had alot of CD's stolen when I had my bag stolen at work.It had 3 U2 CD's and 2 OLP ones. OUCH!!!. I had to replace them.. I got Acthung baby for about $7.oo on EBAY. Check out Towerrecords every once in awhile they have their CD's on sale for under $10.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

Yeah, I actually already own Rattle and Hum... I got it for a few bucks used (though, oddly enough, only the booklet seems used... the cd itself looks brand new). Someday I'll get around to getting the rest, probably when they're on sale at Tower or something. The Beatles catalogue's first on my list, though. And Metallica. Blah. So many full catalogues I need. :lol:
