Episode 5 — Achtung Baby?

Recommended Posts

It’s finally time for Adam Scott Aukerman to discuss one of U2′s landmark albums aka their seventh studio album Achtung Baby. They’ll talk about recent U2 news, their thoughts on what the best first U2 single has ever put out is, and Davis Guggenheim’s From the Sky Down documentary about the making of the album Achtung Baby. Plus, Adam gives us an update on reading Harry Potter with his son. Tune in next week as they dive deeper into Achtung Baby in part 2!

Achtung Baby was always my favorite U2 album. Brings back some great memories, hearing Adam Scott Aukerman not talking about Achtung Baby 2 Me. U2 put the semen in seminal!

I remember hearing ACHTUNG (baby) as a 13 year old boy, and thinking "this is what a rock album is supposed to sound like."

I cracked up when the album didn't get discussed at all. I might get my wish of this podcast going on forever!!

Good Rattle and Hum discussion in the ACHTUNG (baby) episode.

 

And the return of Harry Potter!

I thought 'There's no way they actually talk about Achtung Baby' when I saw the question mark in the title and the running time of the episode. But this was still a great episode! It's basically rambling nonsense, but bizarrely brilliant.

Have Lance Bangs back to actually talk Achtung Baby. Or don't, it's a free podcast

The best part of this episode was Adam defending Bono and the Edge's sartorial choices in Rattle and Hum.

Adam's fart in the Mt. Rushmore bit might be my favorite moment of this comprehensive and encyclopedic compendium of U2 knowledge that is this podcast.

I feel like several of our dreams of a U Talkin' U2 To Me where U2 is not mentioned even a single time is becoming closer and closer to actually happening with each passing week!

Still laughing at "chimpornaut".

 

It was pretty funny how they were talking about Adam Scott the golfer, then they discussed Josh Hamilton, another actor who shares a name with a famous athlete.

I'm surprised no one's found a link to those babies with penis heads that Scott showed to Scott.

Scott made those himself, I'm 100% sure

I actually think it might be a pretty good idea to have a bridge episode like this between each album. If we're really going to learn every single piece of U2 trivia on this show, there's always going to be a lot to talk about besides the albums themselves.

 

Plus, more bits is always good.

I don't even like U2 and I've listened to their past albums. Final verdict? Eh? It kinda sucks. BUT THIS PODCAST IS AMAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY ZIIIIIIIIIIING
