90's U2 was their best phase for me personally, Achtung Baby was an incredible album to grow up with in high school, it is still a masterpiece today, as well as many songs from Zooropa, a great time to be alive and young

@TT_12217 жыл бұрын
I agree Zoo TV, Zooropa and this period was U2 at their best. It was my first concert and no other show from them or anybody else has lived up to it since. I think you must appreciate however that because it was so kitsch, so unique, so stamped in that particular time - technologically, politically, socially that if they tried to repeat it or adopt the same personas on a subsequent tour it would not have been received well. McPhisto was great fun, but he was a character. As a band they couldn't continue to tour as "characters". By its nature, the tour was a once off. It was great though.

This whole period was a reaction to negative public perception. He outlines the whole thing in this interview. People criticized them for being uncool and pretentious in the 80s when they actually didn't care about public perception. They're pretending to be cool here.

Real recognize real. What Bono is saying is still very relevant to this day. A class act and milestone ground breaker doing things way ahead of his time. It will take 50 to 100 years for people to actually recognize what they did here. And lastly if Frank Sinatra bigs you up, you’re legit. Nothing will take that away.

I think you've missed the point a bit though. The Fly was meant to allow Bono to be himself more than he ever was before. The over-sincere and modest Bono of the 80's was just one side of him that was him doing his best to react to all of the fame in what way he thought best. When he realized people started hating him for it, he said "fuck it then, you want a rock star? You've got it", and that's what he did. To say he never snapped out of it should actually apply to pre-Fly Bono.

I remember listening to The Unforgettable Fire and just thinking wow this is interesting, but unsure if I liked it, but the sound the singing kept me coming back for more, and I just love that album.
