Ok if that's true thats at least some kind of relief for Stockholm.... I'd definitely rather have Phil X play lead than Bobby...
Don't know what else to say at this point.... :(

The time of Jon's comment isn't really relevant, the fact that he didn't feel the need to say 'of course we are in constant contact and he has our support' but said 'I haven't spoken to him,' this guy isn't wet behind the ears, he knows what that will do.

Playing Devil's advocate (though i mostly agree with you) for a second: If Jon says "we're in constant contact" it then makes it sound like he should have a firm idea when Richie would be back, and that he was potentially rushing him back. Saying he hadn't spoken to him in 2 days outs the ball firmly in Richie's court.

II know if someone stands next to me and my wife and boos and spoils the concerts for us, they will be told to grow up.

If your not happy don't go! But don't be so sad and childish to spoil it for others..... Pathetic!

You may have forgotten or just not know, some persons/peoples, who may or not have been Supersonic, once staged a protest against ''Who says you cant go home'' by turning their backs to the stage when it was played.
So yes, people can be ridiculous.
I also remember the sit down protest in the fan pit during u2's elevation tour by a large contingent of that band's version of our ''Backstage'' fanclub.
Of course, neither had anywhere near their desired effect and just made the ''protesters'' look like n00bs.

It's a whole saga really, basically centred around early entry to shows/who got front row etc.
The same diehard/nut job backstager types were getting front rows everynight which the band noticed. Plus for the DVD showing apparently other ''good looking'' people were hand picked to go in front, and these diehard/nutjob backstagers weren't happy.

But like I said, it's a whole mini saga. If our own epic richie thread is not enough bed time reading for you and you want some fun, read http://www.u2interference.com/forums...vd-206253.html. Read the long report by ''Dave'' there on the first page for a ridiculous whinney over the top synopsis of the whole thing. It's written like something our very own Kuba80BJ would pen..

Jon comes across like a complete twat, like his vocals are always perfect!

He is the sister of the cousin whose uncle told Richie to do that thing that time. But he didn't do it anyway. What a prick.

LOL! We all have sources!! Apparently, we all know someone connected with the band but at the end of the day, we all know shit!
