Wow. It's not even Christmas or my birthday or anything.

So if U2=4 and U2-4=0
The first derivative with respect to U would just be "2", a nice constant. They haven't gotten better or worse I guess.
The band's first integral would be u^2-4U
That makes their total output with all band members a -4, they are running at a deficit. (assuming a U of 2 since U2=4)
No wonder they are breaking up.

With all due respect, you are seriously the biggest dork ever.

Its about f-ing time. U2 lost it some years ago.

 
Kasira [TotalFark] 2009-03-25 06:59:26 PM  
I don't know whether to be happy they're done make shiatty music, or be sad that it gives Bono more time to be a douchebag.

WOOOHOOO

This makes me happy. I absolutely LOATHE U2

Who? U2? Oh, the band that Bono guy is in.

 
Prattle Assassin 2009-03-25 07:12:51 PM  
It's a beautiful day. They are gone, boy. (in a little while) It's like a moment of surrender. One should remember they move in mysterious ways after all.

/what's Craig Ferguson gonna do now?

/now I know the decision to drop out of university was a good choice, was on my way to math/physics degree. Quit only needing a few credits. When I read your post I immediately started checking your work, go ahead and say it...

He's just trying to give TicketMaster a post-coital orgasm.

Who can blame him?

I'm already camping in front of a Ticketmaster outlet waiting for tix to the reunion tour to go on sale in a few years.

Thank you Jesus, now finish the job and kill Bono.

Robert Smith said the same thing about the cure back in 1990. 19 years later they are about to release their 13th album.

 
lerxst2112 [TotalFark] 2009-03-25 07:55:36 PM  
How can you predict that a band may or may not break up if you are in the band itself?

SockMonkeyHolocaust 2009-03-25 08:04:20 PM  
Guess this means I better go out and drop $250 a ticket, then $50 for a T-shirt and another $50 in snacks and beverages so that I can see them before they retire.

 
paulseta [TotalFark] 2009-03-25 08:06:53 PM  
The time off will give the band more of chance to come up with new ways of evading tax in their native Ireland while at the same time badgering first world countries to prop up evil dictatorships in Africa.

 
nastyboi 2009-03-25 08:07:05 PM  
U2 may suck, but they're cooler than you.

 
Dwight_Yeast 2009-03-25 08:10:40 PM  
Meh. I'd rather see Leonard Cohen on his current tour, as there's VERY good chance that it will actually be his last.

 
Kyro [TotalFark] 2009-03-25 08:12:50 PM  
Since when does "we're concerned the economy may hurt ticket sales" mean "we're breaking up?"

ZOMG U2 IS TEH WURST BAND EVERZ!!!!11

Bono is a hipster doofus, but I love Achtung Baby and Zooropa, so suck it.

The stuff before Joshua Tree was great, Joshua Tree was good but not may favorite. Haven't really cared for anything since Zooropa.

 
AdolfOliverPanties [TotalFark] 2009-03-25 08:33:00 PM  
That's Muse, not Elbow, correct?

You are missing out. You dont like Beautifull day and Elevation?

"Larry recently admitted he wants the group to retire while they are still at the top."

Too late.

 
pureobscure 2009-03-25 09:46:42 PM  
Oh jeez, watch Bono try to run for public office or something. He can't be happy unless he's attention-whoring.

Hooray! Go away already! It's not 1987 anymore!

Stopped being good in the mid-80's. Talk about "no big loss..."

 
tartina13 2009-03-25 10:28:18 PM  
He doesn't actually say they might break up.

FTFA: "We want to play for each other as much as we want to play for the crowd this time. You just don't know how long you are going to be doing this. When we walk out on stage, the hairs on people's necks go up - but what people don't know is that the hairs on our necks go up too."

Doesn't every band say this at some point? And Mullen's comment is just stating the obvious- many performers fret about sales in this economy. Too bad, U2 haters.

 
jj325 [TotalFark] 2009-03-25 10:50:00 PM  
Yeah. Evey Stones tour since 1978 "could be the last one" I saw a couple Who "farewell" tours. This is a ploy to sell more tickets in a bad economy.

/Likes U2
//Not 250.00 for good seats like
///Glad I saw ZooTV for 50.00

That's funny that Muse is touring with them, because the first time I heard U2's new single, I thought it sounded like a weak Muse ripoff.

 
Glenechocreek 2009-03-25 10:59:42 PM  
Get on your boots and get out of here, U2.

When at the top of their game, they are f*cking unreal. Hell, I'm not even a big fan of their music, per se, but they are kick-ass live.

/seen them twice, would again
