[Guest inxces4308]

Haha, yeah i heard it too. They just explained that apparently they where recording a track that zane is going to play 'exclusively' on his show next week.

[duncan]

it is not available on iplayer at the moment - is this to do with bono's comment about chris martin?

Oh, it was available before and it had the swearing left in it with a warning.

Perhaps they have had complaints or their is an Iplayer problem.

Jo Whiley-U2 in the Live Lounge

10:00 am - 12:45 pm

(Not Available)

The Not Available bit means it will not be online, like, ever xD ahh welll...

[Guest inxces4308]

I get this message:

Jo Whiley: U2 in the Live Lounge is unavailable at this time.

Via the Radio 1 website. There is some hope in that for people that haven't heard it.

[Nik B.]

Nah, because I pulled that from the schedule. When it says that I can almost gaurantee that it won't be available at all.

[Jono]

They probably want you to watch the set online.

radio 2 did a better job than radio 1,better interview than the rubbish one whiley gave,the listners actually asked the band questions which were pretty good questions unlike whiley do you pee in the shower,but whiley is an awful interviewer,chris evans brilliant.

also their performance on top of broadcasting house was better,better songs,get on your boots,magnificent,vertigo and beautiful day.

[YoppaDo]

Yikes, they're on Jonathan Ross on BBC1 now, it truly is blanet coverage.

Well, of course, because U2 is bloody Radio 2 target audience. Not Radio 1. So it poses the question why did they bother?

[simon38]

would have thought radio 1 would have been better than radio 2 the amount of hype they have been giving it,only listned to r2 today for u2,so don't know how much publicity they gave through the week

I randomly heard it in the waiting room. Wasn't amazing but what can you expect from Chris Evens talking to U2?

[Viv]

U2 disgracefully insulted Coldplay's Chris Martin yesterday - not necessary.

He dident really. He said Chris martin was a brilliant guy who knew what he was on about and had brilliant talent but then he somehow worded in the word wa*ker, not sure in what context - i cant remember.

[Jugalug]

Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't feel offended if somebody said that about me.
