Bono (u2) reads the novel that started it all. The first phrase of Neuromancer. The phrase that gave birth Cyberpunk in 1984. And talks to William Gibson the author of the novel. "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel..." mike.rincondelhuevo.com

I don't think he would mind. This is just a tiny excerpt... a quote if you so will. Quoting is not piracy, it is the essence of discussion. Anyway, get "No Maps", it is a really good Film (if you have the right eyes).

Why is Bono reading this? What show is this, may I ask?

This is part of the ... ( 11 months ago by neuromainkder)

This is part of the documentary film "No maps for these territories" (2000). And I've read in interviews that U2 was deeply influenced by the book Neuromancer in the early nineties. It influenced their music and their look. Also the song in the background of this excerpt is named "Chiba City Blues" composed by Edge it takes the title from the first chapter of the book.

I didn't know that... Cool.

in what way was U2 inspired by Neuromancer <.< their music doesn't sound even remotly cyberpunk. Cyberpunk music is like, Darkside DnB and Trip Hop

As I said it was ... ( 8 months ago by neuromainkder)

As I said it was the early nineties. U2 was influenced by the techno decadenece concepts of the novel. The band developed a sudden turn from the acoustic & blues songs of Joshua Tree to the cutting edge digital sound technologies of Achtung Baby and Zooropa. Anyway you should listen to the experimentation in the trip hop genere by The Edge $ Lanois during the nineties.

If you want to know ... ( 8 months ago by neuromainkder)

If you want to know what I mean with visual influence, watch "The Fly", "Until the end of the world" and " "Even better than the Real Thing" videos, and you'll see what I mean. If you like cyberpunk stuff, watch "Bin ans ende der welt" (Until the end of the world) a Wim Wenders Film. I'ts quite different from other cyberpunk or sci-fi movies but I liked it. U2 played the soundtrack by the way.
