[Garcia Lorca]

I had to close my window last night, sitting chilling out and then in the background i could hear Pride (in the name of love) being whined out from a local stadium....

dont ruin my chill out time bono!

I hate the wank Paul Morley writes about them in the OMM, he should be gassed. But I like Achtung Baby, I don't like anything else by them though.

Trouble is Bono is an enormous cock. I think the gay bassist has the most credibility

 

[Pie 1]

I think the gay bassist has the most credibility

He's a bit of a cock as well though.

The drummer is the only one I reckon. He's managed to pretty much keep his gob shut for the past 30 yrs & just do what he does. Fair play.

I saw them play Wembley in about 1997. Have to admit it was a great show.

I've still never bought any of their music or listened to them at any other time (apart from when I've been in places like The Swan in Stockwell) and I don't like them, or their music particularly.

So there you go.

 

[Gingerman]

Saw them twice in the '80s,even though I think Bongo is the World's biggest gobshite both their concerts were hugely enjoyable.

 

[Idris2002]

i mean, if I ran a music mag and a journalist ever said anything positive about U2 - a band who have never recorded a nanosecond of music that wasn't pompous, risible dross - they would have to be sacked immediately. They would have demonstrated a lack of all the skills to do their job properly.

I wouldn't say their first album was pompous, whatever it was.

 

[nick h.]

The only decent thing they've ever done was Joshua Tree. And that was nearly a quarter of a century ago. Why are they still cocking around trying to be cool?They ought to be in an old folks home wearing incontinence pads.

David Byrne slagged em off for carting it about the world and it costing millions just to transport it etc

Listen to 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, an early single (pre the abortion that was Boy) on CBS Ireland. Produced by Martin Hannett.

Ah hear teh chilren cryin'. It's a lesson in leaden abject futility.

Millenium Stadium gigs in the same year.

REM - £55
U2 - £80

U2 have got a flipping cheek asking fans to donate extra money to charity when they price their gigs so high. Drop your gig price to match how much REM charge and I might consider giving a fiver to charity but whilst you charge £25 more I'll keep my 50p you money grubbing cunts.

I think liking U2 is the taste-in-music equivalent of being a racist. You can think somebody knows what's what, and then they reveal a liking for U2, and you quite simply can't associate with them anymore.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Apart from that....

Now that you mention it, it's taken me nearly 30 years to realise this is an abominably poor stab at a Joy Division rip off.

 

[Ranbay]

just getting ready to go see them now

Cant wait
