They were great in the 80's. Wish they still were.

To paraphrase another farker in another, more political thread.

HURF DURF HURF DURF U2 SUX ARGLE BARGLE

A great charity, but I worry. True, great music and great musicians have germinated in N'Awlins... But without people living there, without tourism, and with the people that ARE there afraid to go out at night, what kind of market is there for live music right now?

Mr. The Edge...

What, is he going to be a character in the Cars sequel? Maybe a chip van?

Since he's had that damn hat on for a decade I suggest he change his nickname to The Lid.

I have not liked a U2 album since Unforgettable Fire. Joshua Tree, while I respect it, was the end of U2 as I knew them. They're another band now.

It's a bad sign that Bono said they wanted to take the rock out of it for this album.

Last time they did that, the suck went into overdrive.

They should make a Coldplay record. Coldplay makes U2 records. Give the U2 fans what they want. Save anything else for a solo project.

I didn't RTA but felt like saying this -

Some bands aren't around long enough. Some stay entirely too long to be enjoyable anymore.

/I'm looking right at you, Bono
//Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!

Oh no, a band the tries different things and doesn't like they did 20 years ago. They should totally just keep rehashing the same things for decades and make the same record over and over and over and over.
\loves mid to late 90's U2 the best

No they should just quit because they're lame.

It would be better than anything they have done in the last two decades.

I like when bands change and evolve, when they change and evolve into something listenable.

One of the best. Ever. You don't like them, you don't like rock and roll. They never did any gay disco work. God bless'em.

A+++++++
Achtung Baby/Zooropa/Pop were brilliant. "The Passengers" was a little over the edge though.

/of course, I'm of the (minority) camp that thinks Tunnel of Love/Human Touch/Lucky Town were Springsteen's best......

While I respect your right to hate the best band ever (with deference to Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The 'Stones, and I'm sure a few other Juggernaut bands), you have to hear me out.

U2 have always been trendsetters and pioneers. They have had an extensive catalog of hits, adapted their style before the sound became popular, have an excellent marketing campaign, a devout following, with generation after generation continuing to follow a red guitar, three chords, and the truth.

They are, IMHO, the ultimate musical band up to this point in time.

Or straight disco work, either, I presume?

That's not what band name suggests

Listening to AC/DC and old stuff like that doesn't make me think of how much they totally rawk out with their cocks out. It makes me think of the old guys who actually still think that. Those are the same guys who's cocks can't even get up because of their age and if they're out it's only because they're too demented to even realize their pants are unzipped. I'll take U2's "gay disco music" in heart beat over having to one more guy with more hair on his back than on his head talk about how cool they were back when he saw them and how he totally got laid after that concert.
