We’ve devoted many items to the eventual Spider-Man musical, and we expect to devote more to it, because the damned thing doesn’t open for months and months. However, there’s one thing we haven’t linked to yet: what songwriter BONO THINKS OF SPIDER-MAN. Luckily, a fact-filled update from The Times UK, delivers the goods:
Bono has promised that the show will be “something the likes of which no-one has seen or heard”. He said the music will be part punk rock and part opera. “It should be a hallucinogenic experience for theatregoers,” he said. “You have the visual energy brings. The myth of the arachnid and the elasticity of these characters — you can turn theatre upside down.”
Oh, boy.
“The myth of the arachnid”
Oh fucking drop dead, Bonio.
//Oo/\
Will everyone now agree with me that Bono is a pretentious twit?
A twit who has provided me with some of the greatest moments of my life, alas.
He has great pipes and his band makes great songs.
However, it is worth avoiding MOST interviews with rock stars, whether it be Ted Nugent or Bono, if you want to keep enjoying their music!!!!
Bah!!
Steven Wilson ( of Porcupine Tree and Blackfield fame) is the new rock god!!
And he’s already composed music for the Birds of Prey tv show.

Did you know that U2 did an entire soundtrack for a recorded reading of William Gibson’s Neuromancer. Sorry Cary, Jonathan Davis is the new rock god. The soundtrack to Queen of the Damned was tops, and same for the stuff he did for the new Twilight Zone.
Christopher – just you wait until SW mass releases his first solo effort – Insurgentes in February and see how much ‘divinity’ he gets flocking to the pews.
Already, copies of the limited edition release are fetching for $600 to $700 a pop on ebay.
My prog fu is much more skilled than your mere mortal Goth ‘tae kwon do’ abilities.
