And mcguiness was manager for the Rattle and Hum movie, not to mention the early popmart fiasco

Popmart... yeah, they kinda botched that one. But If they would’ve just done an arena / stadium mix, it would’ve been fine. 18,000 people in an arena in Tampa is a sellout... 18,000 in a stadium is a huge failure. Yes the record didn’t perform as well as some of their others, but it wasn’t a huge bomb either.

Really? I like SOI and SOE more than No Line and Atomic Bomb..they were more successful under Paul but I've loved the last two records.
