Subscriber Canadanne 302 Posted August 6, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 6, 2020 Perhaps they only did special celebrations for Adam and Bono because they were milestone birthdays. Might have to wait till next year for Edge and Larry viewing parties! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might have to wait till next year for Edge and Larry viewing parties! Well, I certainly thought about that, but it would still be disappointing if it were left unobserved. Slane went out at less-than-DVD quality in May; surely, they could come up with at least an equivalent effort now... Also, the idea of “Sorry, Mr. The Edge, no show for you! Come back when you have a real birthday” seems so sad (and would equally be so for Larry’s 59th this coming Halloween too). Are we going to shortchange Bono and Adam next year too since they are “merely” turning 61? Not a good look... But, what will happen will happen. It would be nice to see something special - there is still time... (If nothing does happen, I do have a humble suggestion. Let’s see if the site makes it unnecessary.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You do realise that they're not actually watching those right? 😅 - I guess they're not even aware we put our party pants and have those streaming parties lol - but if you are, many apologies for all I might have said when Bono wears his captain hat. I kinda enjoy that unpredictable timetable they have on streamings. It never disappoints and just adds to the thrill! I'll prob just have cake and whiskey - no ouzo available at the store - and make a whole lot of noise on social medias as usual. I'm sure Edge will appreciate the notifications bipping all night. Or maybe I'll finally get blocked. Ha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber Manohlive 2,213 Posted August 6, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 6, 2020 Sorry I could not be here again. I've been very busy trying to get two Irish Terriers not to rip each other's throats out as they both learn I'm boss.. I'm bruised, battered and achy. So worth it but really sucks I can't be at these parties. Perhaps the next one... I hope you had fun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was a bit apprehensive before we started about trying to coordinate three different shows from two different DVDs with many people viewing it on-line instead; however, it went very well, and we were in sync most of the time! 😄 Yes, Irish Terriers can play roughly. However, I know you have it in you to lovingly inform them that you are the master of the house! Good luck! 🍀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe I'll finally get blocked. Ha! I would certainly hope that the band members would have other things to do rather than check in here on a regular basis. The point of the birthday threads/celebrations on-site here is for us to show our appreciation for them - if they were to actually see them, that would only ever be a bonus; however, they would be and are still worth engaging in even if they themselves never see them. In any case, I'm confident that at least a thread will appear for our beloved guitarist on his special day. It just seems to be a missed opportunity not to have something more special here on Saturday, esp. since his birthday this year is conveniently on a Saturday. But, opportunities have been missed before - the sun will still rise in the east and set in the west, etc. I'll watch the "It Might Get Loud" documentary featuring Mr. The Edge in his honor two days from now. It's the least I can do for a guitarist that has given me/us so much joy with his bandmates. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to join in, please do so. If enough of us are here, we can have a quasi-live thread. There is no obligation here - this is being arranged at the last minute out of necessity. If you are available and have access to the film (it is available at the usual places if you don't have the DVD/BluRay), please stop by and comment as normal. I hope to see you then! 😎🎸 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
