They actually did a ton for us against all odds or realistic expectations they put us on the map in many ways in the 80s and 90s. I love them as a band personally and like with pj they frustrate the living shit out of me more often than not but they put on amazing live shows, Bono’s the only one I’ve met and he was gracious and generous and affable and they’re still capable of making good if not great music but what can you expect. Top achtung baby 20 years later? Never gonna happen. They should stop that approach and realise they’re good when they’re doing work that isn’t overthought to death and pasteurised sucking all the life out of the songs

Thats such a fantastic record. Such a brilliant idea to stay I can that space.
Are any two albums more twinned and Connected and complimentary in their catalogue? Or any bands?

I need to hear these two again. Weird the way you adore certain records and don’t go to them anymore

Achtung is the reason I still give their new albums a listen, to see if they have any spark left.

That doco they made ‘from the sky down’ about the making of achtung, is a fantastic watch if you Havent seen it. Really brilliant and somehow really doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

You lads haven’t seen it?
It’s really fantastic. Portrait of a band creatively lost until one small chord sequence. Then it all comes together.

That’s not doing it justice at all by no means but it’s a wonderful watch look it up.




Ps sorry for the thread derailment

also, from the wiki page for Achtung Baby:

Quote:
The band believed that "domesticity [w]as the enemy of rock 'n' roll" and that to work on the album, they needed to remove themselves from their normal family-oriented routines. With a "New Europe" emerging at the end of the Cold War, they chose Berlin, in the centre of the reuniting continent, as a source of inspiration for a more European musical aesthetic.[3][18][25] They chose to record at Hansa Studios in West Berlin, near the recently opened Berlin Wall.


Man, i wish PJ would do something like this.

Did you make it all the way through that sentence without laughing? Because imagining them doing that...I couldn't.

I still say they should make a Mirror Ball 2 with Neil, maybe kick both their asses from the doldrums.

They definitely live in a bubble with a very firm ‘family’ set up/organisation around them even now I used to live in an apartment on Hanover quay just 50 metres away from their hq and you could hear them playing mostly bass and edge. Think it was no line they were making at the time. But to upsticks and go somewhere so drastically different politically and culturally is like Michael Jackson moving to Moscow in the 80s to record Thriller. It takes serious balls to do that

RITFW from that show is in the pj20 movie. It was an awesome show
