U2 Blast Off In Toronto

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 17, 2009 3:27 pm
It's probably safe to say anyone who attended U2's first of two nights at Toronto's Rogers Centre as part of their U2 360 Tour will never have a sensory experience like that again. After Snow Patrol warmed the crowd up bored the crowd with a medley of hits from their three most recent albums, singer Bono, guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton...

U2 — No Line On The Horizon

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) March 2, 2009 4:55 pm
It seemed like there was a time when U2 could do no wrong. About nine years ago, when All That You Can't Leave Behind redeemed them from the disastrous electronica and disco experiments of 1997's Pop, it felt like they really had the answers to the world's problems. A year after All That You Can't Leave Behind came out, the U.S. was attacked, and...

U2 — "Get On Your Boots"

in
By Jared Morano (CHARTattack) January 19, 2009 5:25 pm
The new single from the biggest band in the world plows through a military snare intro to a crunchy bass groove. This is the playful electro-U2 that's hidden in exile since 1997's disastrous Pop. Like much of that album, "Get On Your Boots" immediately sounds too flashy. Every second is filled with vocal overdubs or guitar squeals....

A rock show projected on a massive IMAX screen in 3D, as presented by National Geographic. Who besides U2 would conceive of something so over the top? It has been my secret hope that the band I love would age gracefully, to little avail. As a longtime fan, I filed into the cavernous ScotiaBank IMAX theatre with vehement skepticism, what with the...

U2 Preach, Pray And Promote At First Of Four Toronto Concerts

By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) September 13, 2005 4:30 pm
If U2 ever give up rock 'n' roll, they might want to find a job in PR. The first of four sold out Air Canada Centre shows saw Bono and his cohorts give celebrity shout outs, promote a couple of Film Festival movies and of course, give plenty of lectures. The one thing they didn't do however, was put on a performance worthy of their rock star...

U2 — All That You Can't Leave Behind

in
By Debbie Bento (CHARTattack) October 30, 2000 9:23 am
For the last few years there was talk of this album being a complete departure from the last "electronic" sound of Pop, then it was supposed to be either a revisiting of the older Joshua Tree acoustic sound or the bombastic electric guitar vibe of older works like War and The Unforgettable Fire. Well, it ain't really any of those. More...

The Drums are back with a sophomore album called Portamento on Sept. 13. Regardless of what it'll sound like, Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire will probably still say there's "no soul in that band." The third in Radiohead's series of 12-inch vinyl remixes of tunes from this year's The King Of Limbs is out "in two weeks." Yeah, there's no...

U2 and their crew showed up in the city on May 27 to shoot footage for a documentary, but were met with protesting union members, and it's worth noting that Bono, who supports labour rights, stopped to talk to them....
