Just when you thought Hawaii was the LAST stop. Fangirl and fanboy alert: I just found out from a very reliable source that THE POLICE will be touring again / more / further this year! A rumor went around that the Police were open to playing here but after much hemming and hawing among the telcos, they ended up going for Justin Timberlake.

 | ZOMG The Police at Red Rocks! |
 | Ha ha ha. Time to break the piggy bank.
Did you ever see the video of U2 live at Red Rocks? Panalo!
Sa sobrang pagkafangirl ko, nagkacontact na ako sa Colorado--kunwari pag nakarating ako doon, sa kanila ako makikitira tapos sabay ako sa kanila pag nanood.
Hayyyy... get those big telcos back to the negotiating table so they can play here. |
| So, what's the scuttlebutt on U2 coming here? |
| Sabi mo, ikaw bahala. Yun pala, ako kawawa. Hehehehe.
Wala lang. |
| Ayun dumaan sa site si Wam...Wam, baka magkataon ka ulit!
Karlo, AYUZ yung quote mo. There was a time in my life I could have used it on a shirt! Ha ha ha! |
 | Yes, it's true, negotiations are happening for U2 to come and play here. And if so, it should happen some time Q3 or Q4 this year. That time is a ways off from now and anything could happen so keep all appendages crossed until then.
Just in case, there are rumors that Madonna will be coming as well and that it's more firmed up than U2, with tickets ranging from 5 - 50K. There's your yardstick. So if you want to see both, better fatten up those piggy banks because it looks to me like it'll be concert spending spree come year end! |
 | ow. though i can pass on madonna. i know a handful of songs and I'm more a fan of her persona than her music.
|
| putang ina 5k to 50k tix??? 5k for the bad seats??? shit! |
| Pass din ako kay Mads.
But I'm sure a lot of people will go. There are not of people here who like the "show" the back up dancers, lights, smoke effects etc.
I'm more partial to the rock and roll.
Let's not forget coming up are:
Maroon 5, Incubus and Harry Connick.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers kaya? |
| I watched Michael Jackson (and walked two kilometers from my car!) even though I was far from a fan. I just needed to experience the show. If Madonna comes I will be there. If U2 comes, I will be there even more. If Daft Punk comes, I will be there a little less but be there nonetheless. |
| The Grammys performance didn't do them justice. I NEED to get Daft Punk Alive 2007 DVD. |
| MJ tickets cost 10k lang for front row diba? |
 | I would've liked to see MJ too, but couldn't afford seats close enough -- I don't want to watch a concert if it's going to be too far away. Belle, I really wanted to see DD when they were here before, but I was a student and couldn't afford it either. I'd see them if I came again! And, yes, if the tix aren't completely beyond reach, Madonna, too. For the show. But I don't think I'd pay P20,000 for it. So, maybe I won't, after all. Basta, U2!!!!! |
| I'd probably pay 10 max for Madonna, even more for U2. At the end of the day, it's still about the music. Let's just hope it doesn't fall through..... |
| Well , yeah, the show Madonna would put up would be kick ass in terms of prod value, definitely, but I think I'd lose my mind with half the music. I like her old videos (i thought frozen was fantastic!) but I would watch it with the sound off. Hahahaha.
Though Phil Collin's Far Side of the World Tour was amazing prod value wise. There were killer lights, effects and stage set. And yes, as Karlo mentioned, big prods yung U2 POP and Zooropa Tours, so it's not just the pop acts that work the performance.
|
| I wonder if I still have my mojo to get in backstage. ganun nalang. :P |
| Aw man...that would mean having to stick out this job for close to another year.... :( :( :( |
| Duran Duran yes I heard from Lara.
I had a big exam the next day but Tricia worked her charm on me I studied ahead for the exam so I could go with her! I wonder how John Taylor looks now. She had a crush on Simon, me on John. And my gay friend on "Nick Rude." |
| If ever, which tour will madonna be bringing here, confessions or the new album she's working on? (ang bakla ko na grabe) |
| Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I guess the it's all a matter of accepting it if you get turned down (me, Metallica for example--I just smiled and walked away) and taking lots of photos and tripping out if you do (INXS--thanks to Cowbell and Jade) wouldn't be fangirl if you didn't entertain the thought for the artists / acts you really liked (blush). |
| Sabi ko na nga ba, SUNGLASSES ni Bono ang sinasubsidize natin.
Brother, ano yung trabants? |
| Ayan na, labasan na ng tunay na kasarian. |

 | i sure hope the police come here. singapore was fantastic but i'd love them to experience the filipino audience. i'd love to see madonna here, too. i'm not a big fan of her music but i am a fan of her concerts. lalo na the irreverent ones. i don't know why u2 just doesn't give me the same excitement you guys get. :<) |
 | I haven't seen their latest photos.
And yes we may have bumped into each other. I was in the P750 seats. Climbing over a railing to get a better look! |
| Sure Kathy! Especially after that ym conversation with you. Congratulations again on the soon to be born baby Wu! |
| Hindi ka nauu2 ng U2.
And yes I would welcome the chance to watch the Police concert here with all those people who sent me I HATE YOU texts on Feb 4 and 5. |
| And maybe get some re-negotiation on for the Police? I mean they are doing this all over again.
I want THEIR vitamins. And Sting's YOGA or TANTRA. |

Hayyyy... get those big telcos back to the negotiating table so they can play here.
