For years I would not have said Achtung Baby was my favourite U2 album but it has an enduring freshness, modernity and fearlessness in its execution to it that no other U2 album has to quite the same extent, probably not even The Joshua Tree
I was at the Saturday show they did in November in Dublin which was the first time I’d seen them play for 17 years and the set was heavily Achtung Baby biased
I think that even with their brilliance on record, pretty much all Achtung Baby songs are improved in a live setting whereas I don’t think that’s true of most songs from The Joshua Tree
Acrobat was off the hook and the chain and whatever you’re having yourself
Surely has enough money made out of Play at this stage, why bother your hole write shite in books about the ingénue’s you did or didn’t fuck back in the day, whether they did or didn’t remember it. I’d say it might be in his own interest not to go digging through the sort of shit that went down at his vegan raves way back when.
