Just wondering what people from other places think of these two...Dublin is getting it's own statue of liberty..kind of..the wire man..

it'll be on the rejuvinated docklands are just a short distance from the U2 tower...they're being given the egg shape at the top as a purpose built studio as their hannover quay studio is being demolished to make this tower

what do you guys think?

I wonder if the U2 tower is as tall as the platforms under the shoes he wears. :lol:

i'm really not that thrilled by either of them. but you wonder how america gets self centered when musicians who aren't from our country celebrate our elected officials.

recently just moved away from across the dock from hanover quay..you could hear them play somedays. its a good spot. shame theyre knocking it down.

I think U2 would say they are very American. Not as American as they are Irish but they definitely belong to the US as well as us. More than anywhere else in any case.

its ok i guess, i cant tell what size is it? is it really big in the background or smaller in the foreground.

dimejinky99 · **Posted:** Sat Jan 17, 2009 1:08 am

it's 48 metres high...thast taller than anything down that part of town..i like it

2 metres taller than libery (the statue not the plinth)
put like that its gonna completely dominate the skyline down there as it currently is.
though theres other stuff going up..
