But what happened with SOI was a PR nightmare, bigger than a stupid, unnecessary movie or a tour with some mediocre attendance numbers. It wasn’t handled well at all. Luckily U2’s legacy is big enough to withstand the hit, but it did more harm than good by far.

It might have annoyed a few self absorbed apple geeks but they got their music heard by half a billion people a lot of whom would never buy a U2 record and the whole world was talking about them all of their back catalogue went back into the charts ,the tour was a huge success and sold out everywhere so job done

So he's actually going to start managing U2 now?
Dude dropped the ball with SOI. Not only with the release, but with the aftermath. And then once Bono had his bike injury, ALL promotion of SOI just stopped.
Originally posted by Welsh_Edge:Invisible's release was a dry run for SOI, at least it seems that way to me. They screwed up because it went into everyone's library rather than just being free on the store.

I often think about how such a small change in the release could’ve prevented the whole fiasco. Truly incredible no one thought of this.
Originally posted by Welsh_Edge:No, it was in everyone's libraries and people who have automatic downloads selected didn't have a choice.
Amnesty International UK is streaming the previously released "You Know Where You Live, Live!" video, which includes U2's performance of "Stay" from May 25, 2001 in Toronto. Stream starts at 7:30pm UK Time. More information here: https://t.co/WKpCJwC8WW pic.twitter.com/OHazEu84Ay
