THE BEST VERSIONS OF SOME U2 SONGS IN MY OPINION

That's right. Let me be clear that this is my opinion and of course each one has its best version. Often depends on the moment, but if it is to choose a single version of U2's best songs, I choose these:

Song: Even better than the real thing
Type: Not remix
Best version: DVD Zoo Tv live from Sydney, 1993.

COLLABORATE IN A COLLEGE INSPIRED BY ACTHUNG BABY AND WIN A CUSTOM CAR TRABANT

Trabant
The early 90s was a period in which the U2 impressed critics to re-imagine their own music with the release of Achtung Baby. 20 years later, the band revisited and this time, digging files, found a stockpile of unreleased tracks, collaborations precious, lost remixes and rarities cult-style side B. In addition to never before heard tracks, produced in the studios of Berlin and Dublin, the new material brings live performances and commercially unreleased videos, and club hits and appearances by special guests. Achtung Baby incorporates a multitude of ideas and styles, all represented in the mosaic that is the album cover. The photo collage qudradas symbolizes the spirit of 90 years and the changes in Europe after the fall of the Berlin wall. To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, the U2 team, including designer Shaughn McGrath and the original photographer, Anton Corbijn, are inviting artists to submit a photo or art that reflects the global environment of today. The photograph or artwork should express the same meaning in this cover of Achtung Baby. If Achtung Baby was released today, which photographs or art would be part of this collage?

ACTOR ROBIN WILLIAMS SAYS IT IS CONFUSED WITH BONO.

The renowned actor Robin Williams, who made a crazy babysitter in the film Mrs. Doubtfire, says he is always confused with U2's Bono.

Once a guy asked me in Paris: 'Are you Bono?'. So I said 'no, no, you're Robert Windsor,' "said the actor.

"I'm just confused with Bono for people who are very drunk. I think when I wear sunglasses, I'm a bit like," joked the actor, said that he can not imitate the Irish accent of the "double". "The accent is one thing I can not get. I get to do and soon disappears. I always end up talking like a Scotsman."


In my opinion I think that they are very similar, yes.

U2'S BONO AND THE EDGE PLAY FAVORITES WITH MUSIC AND MOVIES

U2 singer Bono and guitarist The Edge were supposed to be part of our Friday feature asking about movies they'd recommend to aspiring young talent.

U2's Bono and The Edge play favorites with music and moviesBut, like Frank Sinatra, who Bono once sang a duet with, they did things their own way. They didn't exactly answer our question -- What one movie would you recommend an aspiring young actor or director see, and why? -- but they spoke with conviction about two favorite albums (Torches and Horses) and one movie (It Might Get Loud).
Bono and The Edge were talking to TIFF's Thom Powers during the festival last September. It was an on-stage interview to promote Davis Guggenheim’s opening gala film From the Sky Down, a documentary on the difficult creation of U2's 1991 album, Achtung Baby.

If you didn't already know, U2's seminal early-'90s classic celebrated its 20th anniversary this weekend. Largely written and recorded in Berlin with producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, the album was a stark stylistic departure from their earnest, arena-friendly sound—Achtung Baby embraced irony, decadence, dance music, and Euro-centric post-modernism... it also had some of the band's best songs of all time.

AND THE BEST LIVE ALBUM OF MUSIC COMPLETE 28 YEARS.

Today, the best live album in history complete 28 years of age. Under a blood red sky was launched aiming to promote the War Tour. It was the first U2 live record, recorded at Red Rocks Amphitheatre Morrison, Colorado (near Denver) in the United States. A heavy rain threatened the show, but as U2 had spent so much money with Island Records, decided to do it anyway. And it worked. The rain left the show even more beautiful. Rolling Stones magazine put as the best live recording of the 80's and the video for 'Sunday Bloody Sunday "as one of the 50 moments that changed the history of Rock and Roll. This video was included on the DVD U2 18 Videos of 2006.

U2 release Acthung Baby worldwide. The album cover features a colorful collage of  16 small photos, a vivid change from the black and white image that distinguished The Joshua Tere e Rattle and Hum albums. The inner sleeve includes a small photo of a naked Adam Clayton, prompting many stores in North America to threaten not selling the album because of the full-frontal nudity. Island Records quickly covers Adam, adding na black "X" or green shamrock over the picture on the CD and cassete version of Acthung Baby.

Further proof for those who still think that U2 really will end next year. The band was seen entering his studio in Dublin, Hanover Quay Studio. Bono had time to give some autographs at the door of the studio and take pictures. The next album will probably be called "Songs of Ascent." U2 bought the Hanover Quay Studio in the early 90's, and of course, is one of the studios where the newly reissued album Achtung Baby was made 20 years ago.

XENOPHOBIA IN IRELAND.

These days I was seeing U2 videos on the net, when I came across one made by Brazilians in front of Bono's house in Ireland. He was going to last U2 concert in Ireland for the 360 Tour. But one of the comments, of course, was done by an Irishman was as follows: 

"Brazilians FUCKING NOBODY LIKES YOU .... GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS COUNTRY ... YOU ARE LIKE A Plague ...... GO BACK TO YOUR FUCKING POOR COUNTRY "

This is the video. Go to youtube if you want to see the comment.



That's over a case of xenophobia stupid happens, Irish are against the entry of Brazilians think we are poor and do not benefit at all to Ireland, and who is now with the crisis we are not Brazilian, but they have now to worsen want to put tougher laws against immigrants, ie, a country so beautiful, where was formed a band born of peace and a man like Bono, and there are people who hate foreigners, Bono himself these hours should be ashamed.







An account of the prejudice in Ireland and my view on xenophobia. I hope you agree with me regarding this ridiculous scenario of society that are considered more evolved on Earth. It is really absurd.
I know many people will not read because it is a little big, but I think it's worth stopping to see beautiful pictures and gifs cute for a minute and open your eyes to the world in which we live. They are 5 minutes. Perhaps you can reflect on something today ...
"Foreigners do not deserve respect?
The testimony of Tibiriçá Thais, a Brazilian who suffered abuse in Ireland
For almost a year I participated as a reporter of this site. Our goal has always been writing about human rights violations, censorship, denial of liberty. And had to get to Europe to feel everything that happens to me.
I decided to come to Spain and study at a university as an exchange agreement with the University Federal Fluminense (UFF / RJ).I have a student visa to attend a semester at the Universidad de la Coruna in La Coruna, Galicia region. I'm living in Spain for four months, and my Holy Week vacation with two friends went to Ireland. To our surprise we were denied entry into Dublin and taken to a women's prison (I I my friend Maria Dias) and male (our friend Andrew St. Peter).
The justification of Irish immigration police was that we did not have enough money to spend six days in the country. However, three of us had 350 euros each into cash, in addition to our international credit cards. According to immigration, credit card is not proof of cash. Visa Will not work there?
After being denied entry, without knowing we were taken to prison, and stay with our passports and original documents of the universities that are studying here in Europe. They ignored the roles of universities, and also questioned why they were not in English. Contest that was the language of the country in which we live, it is an original documentation. We realized that they would not let us go anyway, then ask a link to the Brazilian Embassy. Again we were ignored.
Upon entering the prison Dochais Centre had to leave all my belongings to the police when I say all are all the same. I received a plastic bag with towel, blanket, a pair of panties and a blouse (which were at least mine). Mary was not so lucky: the police let her just take your glasses and contact lens eye drops, nothing more. Stay with their clothes for two days.
In these two days we had to shower in front of guards, and the quiz prison nurse, pass a medical, participate in common meals with the inmates in our prison ... there were women who were serving time for drug trafficking and other for murder. We met and talked with some of them, even the Brazilian Embassy in Dublin, in the voice of Elza Soares, he said he did not live with these people.
Yes, we've dealt with these people, and I'm not here to judge them. The violation of our rights is not made by them but by Irish immigration police, claiming unreal, just do not let us in Ireland, and to complete, took us to a prison and deprived us of our freedom, leaving we there for two days without the possibility of a connection.
Our only connection request was granted on the second day. The Sister Mary, who takes care of prisoners, has helped us to speak with the director of the prison, which had been touched and let us make a call of 6 minutes. My friend Andrew, who was in the male prison, could not make any calls, and to question his presence there received the following response: "This is not immigration, it is a prison."
They were my parents and told Mary that the Embassy of Brazil in Dublin, and on Saturday morning a representative visited us, warning us of possible output. To try to calm down, said this was the normal procedure, but that only made me more distraught and wondered how many Brazilians have gone through this and could never report this humiliation. Many others must have felt embarrassed and just want to forget everything. My friends and I just feel an aversion to the way foreigners are treated in Ireland.The guard of immigration made it very clear talking to us that the presence of Brazilians are not welcome and we have nothing to see in Ireland. Yes, these words were used.
We are more outraged that our government deal with the case so carefree, and have the courage to say that this is a common procedure, because the Irish Immigration is not a place for the deportees. Readers, imagine if Irish students were barred from entering Brazil, and taken to a jail. Happen a diplomatic war. The experience was worth to see how the world is upside down. The so-called globalization are leaving more developed countries considered crazy. And Europe is the most visible to notice all these changes. Immigration from less developed countries of the European Union and economic growth that does not follow all the movements of people are averse to leaving the European countries called here to be underdeveloped.
The xenophobia of the Irish is clear when entering the room deported from the airport. The messages on the walls of people are always considered second tier. Along with Mary and I was also in the same situation a Brazilian 35 years, whose name I prefer not to mention, because she does not know what I'm writing. This woman is a nurse in Brazil for over 10 years, took 1500 euros into cash, round-trip ticket from Brazil, two credit cards, hotel booked and paid. The immigration police response was that it was a nice person, but could not prove their profession in the country. Just to travel to Ireland on vacation you need to have proof of a professional activity in the country of origin.
The situation is chaotic in the country of James Joyce. The Irish authorities had signed a week before our arrival a law that will make more difficult the entry of people do not sit well with them. Too bad they say that censorship and violation of human rights was something only the dictatorships. And now how countries are dealing with foreigners? "
---- I was extremely saddened by this story. I admire Ireland, culture mostly. It may be ridiculous, I admit, but I confess: when I read the excerpt "The guard of immigration made it very clear talking to us that the presence of Brazilians are not welcome and we have nothing to see in Ireland. 'Almost wept for surprise and fear. Surprise is so strong so that the Irish have an aversion to foreigners, including Brazilians, and afraid to go there one day to try to fulfill my dream and go through a situation like this or some like many others that we see out there (be the target of physical aggression by racist groups for example).
  What makes me more thoughtful about it is that Brazilians receive foreigners with the greatest attention and respect (of course we have exceptions in the world have.). I can almost say that we treat for them. Respect, welcome, if they need help, etc.. Any alien who arrives in Brazil, I'm sure, will be super welcome! But if the situation is contrary, suffer and go through this humiliation. We are ill-treated, poorly attended, ignored, caught, it's ridiculous! Sometimes not even look at us in the face!
  After all, what is the reason for the hatred of foreigners? What is the explanation to exclude a person from society by their skin color? So to say that only because I'm white, blue eyes I'm evil character? I kill people, to terrorism, I am a bandit? Is that it? I'm dishonest? I can not understand, I will not. It is because European countries are more developed and classified as "1st World" and then the rest of the world does not pay? They do not want a mix with his people all perfect and just right, is it?
  Well, I'll say one more thing: they now snubbed, mistreat, beat, kill, humiliate and all the rest of the story we already know and need not repeat, but they forget that the reason for the "2nd and 3rd Worlds "are less developed is their fault that they were" discovering "new lands simply exploited to the core of the bones of the natives of these lands they occupied, removed everything that could take advantage of each soil, let alone a people scrambled to their culture, without their riches. They smashed the tribes, just with different cultures, beliefs. They have imposed on people who lived there and forced to work for them. And then they left, whether by fighting with the original people or lack of interest in the lands already finished, leaving the whole mess a natural society. Traces of their tickets were marked and reflect these colonized countries today. If developing countries are really underdeveloped until today I'm sure you are not so random. The settlers took everything they could: gold, precious stones, nature, people became slaves, animals, everything! Simply everything and now we turn away. They do not help countries that have suffered in their hands in the past. They ignore.
  It is these times that I really anger of those people who consider themselves superior simply because they are Europeans, Americans, etc ... People are being judged by appearance, in fact, we should look at the character of each one.
  I hope one day to go to Ireland and prove that Brazilians are so human and worthy of attention and respect as any Irishman.Anyone in the world deserves to be treated with all their rights. All are free. No matter where it comes from, where he was born, lived or lives, skin color, hair type, whether it's blond, red, brown, one is white, albino or black. It makes no difference whether the high, low, dwarf, have disabilities, is gifted, has a hard, rich, poor, or Mercedes will walk the same walk, if you have tattoos, piercings, colored hair, you can hear rock, samba, soul, jazz, funk, metal, pop, rap, you wear black or loves the colors, etc ... Never mind any of that. What we have to stop to see is the character. Only then will we see who is who.
  I hope I was clear. I was really sad about the matter.
  Let's stop this, please. Everyone talks of humanity, love and peace but do not see many people act the way they preach.
  Prejudice is a lack of knowledge, is to judge without knowing. Racism is seen in the appearance of your character is another thing that has nothing to do with another. Xenophobia is not respecting others because of their nationality.
  In the end, everything is lack of knowledge. Conclusion: People today are false and ignorant.
  I think I need not say more ...

FORMER 'SPIDER MAN' MUSICAL DIRETOR JULIE TAYMOR CRITICISES U2'S BONO AND THE EDGE.

Former Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark director Julie Taymor has criticised U2's Bono and The Edge for their role in axing her from the musical. 

Taymor, who was sacked from her role earlier this year after spending nine years working on the show, said she was fired and criticised by people who had no idea of what was going on behind the scenes. 

Taymor, who had been described by U2 guitarist The Edge as being "overwraught" and "exhausted" before she was sacked, told Esquire magazine: "There's no doubt by the end of February, when I felt all of this stuff happening, that I was exhausted by that, but not by the show and not by the inspiration I was getting from the actors."

She then went on to add:

FLORENCE WELCH OF FLORENCE & THE MACHINE, SAID SHE LEARNED TO DANCE WITH BONO.

In an interview with Channel RTE, Florence Welch, lead singer of Florence and the Machine, said he learned to dance in high heels with Bono: "Bono taught me to dance in high heels and also told me about the performance at Glastonbury festival - how everything that could go wrong went wrong, including him tearing his pants on stage. he told me he had to find a new way of singing that does not involve having to move. "Florence said.

Recently, in an interview with "Q," Bono said that was the fault of the DJ's main stage at Glastonbury festival, which damaged the computer and was unlucky to wear the wrong shoes that day. "I went to the stage and realized that was like an ice rink (the rain had frozen) and I was wearing the wrong shoes. I could not move, "he said.
