@ekstewie Plus we’ve never shied away from expressing our own opinions on this account. Other fansites may not, but it’s our style.

“I quite like it like this, let’s try it” says Bono. I agree! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

Ya listenin’ to that, Teddy Boy? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

… and they’ve totally messed it up! “Terryworld has broken down” says Bono. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

@ekstewie We do: see our argument over Ultraviolet.

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to ekstewie

Ax, the biggest controversy about your 10 least-liked U2 songs is that it is more than 10 songs long. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to u2gigs

Hah, Ax and I both added the Prince song to the database at the same time. I beat him to it but he had the better disambiguation. Score: 1-1

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Seems like it’s time for the speech that will have One appended to the end. You’ve got time to go do your shopping. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

I wonder how much controversy I (Ax) would stir up if I listed my ten least favourite U2 songs…

@sb_wreeldeal I (Ax) have 11 MW (5 w/o slide solo) and 8 too many UV. 0 Please :(

Ultraviolet! YAYYYYYY!!!!!!! Stay in the set Friday too, ‘kay? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

No segue into Vertigo tonight. What will be next? I’m actually excited. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@MarkCDarwin Not comparing the two songs, just the nicknames some fans use. But yes I (Ax) fucking adore HMTMKMKM live.

@sb_wreeldeal @juanj79 One of U2’s top five albums, mate. Your Blue Room, Slug, Beach Sequence, Always Forever Now,… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

@sb_wreeldeal @nitebus @juanj79 I’d definitely take Stay over Miss Sarajevo.

Here’s the Beautiful Day snippet! It’ll be the third song in our database called America. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30 twitter.com/LarlarGamingYT…

Meh-levation follows BD as usual. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

Alas, I couldn’t pick it. Did anybody recognise what Bono sang before “see the world in green and blue” verse?… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

 via Twitter Web Client

Okay Ax, name that snippet!

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@JoaoEvanildo Hell no, I’m dreading standing through it in London/Berlin. Interminable proto-boyband dross.

@Shaaakeitsalome I (Ax) hate it with a passion. Matkin loves it with a passion. See, this account has all the bases covered!

@sb_wreeldeal @juanj79 I (Ax) rate it as one of the weaker tracks from Passengers but I was so excited to get it in 2006. Not so much now.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

It doesn’t work, like UV doesn’t work live (or studio, or anywhere). That’s the joke.

…OK, I’m covering my arse here.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

Lengthy video intro in Beautiful Day is for World Refugee Day. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

Ax, that doesn’t even work. Mundane replaces Mysterious. You have to replace Ultra with a U word, like “Ugh Violet”

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to u2gigs

Oh here’s Beautiful Day with a new intro! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

It is… Neither! Beautiful Day is next! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Ax’s version: does Mysterious Ways stick around, or does Mundane Violet make a dull return? ;) twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…

 via Twitter Web Client

Miss Sarajevo has usual snippet of The New Colossus, which likely won’t be done in Toronto (wasn’t in Vancouver) #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

Big question is what comes next: does Ultraviolet make a wonderful return? Or it Mundane Ways again? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@juanj79 Popular enough to be a top ten single and make a Best Of… (I, Ax, think it had quite long enough a run on Vertigo & 360 though.)

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to juanj79

You can tell when Matkin or I (Ax) tweet this song, because I can’t stand “Miss Syria” nickname. It’s the “Batman” (HMTMKMKM!) of 2017.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

@sb_wreeldeal I’m surprised you’re still alive, since he’s the Zodiac Killer.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

Sounds like Miss Syria is the encore opener again tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

Ted Cruz is at the concert tonight. I’m already bracing myself for the torrent of tweets if Bono namechecks him. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

@d_russ Haha let’s hope it’s not that!

Love the person on @U2UVBR’s Mixlr who audibly started singing Van Morrison’s Gloria at end of Exit, R&H style. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
