There's a great interview with Will Sergeant describing his impressions of Television from the time...how Verlaine captured the space between his mind and the notes he played on guitar...how he (Will Sergeant) wanted to achieve that sensation...

Heidi Hedeker in his words, "between metal string fingertip and mind there is a mystic process...": louderthanwar.com/will-sergent-top-10-albums/

Heidi Hedeker Great article - thanks. Honestly had no idea there was a direct influence just a guess so the Television influence grows and grows.

too right, sweetie!

You must of been under a rock then because there's some incredible music, outlets, and venues for music to be seen, heard, and purchased.

Not in a shithole Midwestern town in the 1980s. It was kind of like living under a rock.

TheLadyDiazepam So what your saying is that the Japanese had better progressive music than that town in America where to music sucks.. I can relate lol

your big bro's a legend, listen to simple minds-new gold dream please, no need to thank me :)

so underrated everyone at the time saying u2 better my ass

+Cecy Flowers it's a great song personally I love Pictures on my wall.

NicBunnymen I haven't hear that one !

they never sold out. only the really cool people listened.

Will was ALWAYS the better guitarist out of him and David Evans..... The Edge? No, he might be called that but he was never "the edge".....

U2 has soon appeared to be a cash machine, like the stones with fewer talent though. Echo has remained unspoiled and keeps shining

The Bunnymen were ahead of U2 commercially when HUH was released. Then they released Porcupine (a brilliant album) but the wanky music execs refused to support it. Once the marketing wankers stop funding the promotion you are fucked. U2 however has a much better manager and relationship with their record company. U2 NEVER sold out. They couldn't. They weren't musically gifted and therefore, like the Bunnymen, had one way of playing. It was lovely, brilliant in fact. But dont make the mistake of thinking either band were gifted musically. They weren't. They were just a group of friends who made good pop melodies. The Bunnymen were fucked over by their management/label. U2 weren't. Simple.

U2 were great until achtung baby included. Just because Echo didn't get what they deserved doesn't mean U2 was overrated. Both bands deserved success, and throw in Icicle Works as well, who wrote stunning music for years (arguably the best of the 3).

U2 somehow got really quick crossover appeal in America too. Same with A Flock of Seagulls.

Bunnymen will always be a great band, and A Promise remains a great song, and, yes, U2 was “lucky” to have great management, even though your implication is that Echo was not as big in the States due to poor management and Mac’s at times uncompromising and difficult personality. There were other factors. Pete, a huge talent, had his fatal accident after the band had made its first major split in the 80s and after he had gone AWOL before their eponymous 87 LP sessions began (yes, he returned for them). Will, a huge talent, let Mac steer the band into a poppier, less Goth rock sound on Ocean Rain. IMHO, “Never Stop” was the last great Bunnymen single. I know I am in the minority on that. I still enjoy songs from Ocean Rain and actually have a higher opinion of the 87 LP than most critics. Yes, they should have been bigger in a perfect world. U2 had the discipline and enough humility to make it work long-term. Les was a huge talent, but soured on Mac’s leadership around 1998 with their reunited 75% Bunnymen. Is Mac a huge talent? Yes. Would his 89 solo album have made a fine Bunnymen album? Yes. Should Will have had his way with the band’s sound in the crucial mid-80s? I think so. Sorry for the rambling. When I interviewed Mac back in the 90s, he was still most proud of Ocean Rain and he did not appreciate my remark about the first 3 Bunnymen albums being stronger than the first 3 U2 albums. “Don’t forget Ocean Rain.” I am grateful for all of the great music the band did produce together.

They were precisely of their time. It was just a very good time.

By far!

Without doubt. Its crazy how things turn out
