U2 sucks.

Oh yeah? Well Bono from Sonny and Cher's sales are down too.

Its rough being a Bono

I just can't understand how some people don't think that Achtung Baby is an incredible record. I do however understand the argument for everything after that.

Rock and Roll for U2 died off in 1987. After that they became a pop band.

Is that the one with Mysterious Ways and Wild Horses?

Never call him number two....

Someone please get him in a helicopter.

Yeah, that's the one. It's a damned good CD.

Note to Bono: Suck less, and you will sell more albums. A man cannot live on ego alone.

One, two, three, FOURTEEN!!!!

Yes, plus The Fly, Zoo Station, Until the End of the World, So Cruel, and One.

That's like me saying the human race is going to die off in the next 80 years because I'm not getting laid.

You know what I would buy? A DVD of Bono getting thrown from an airplane at 30,000 feet, into a volcano, while having 30 lbs of tnt strapped to him.

I'd pay upwards of 20 bucks to see that.

Aside from that I would really like to never hear anything from U2 again.

Sounds like you are a fan of Scientology my Xenu brother!

Loved Achtung Baby. Thought Zooropa was vastly underrated. Not a big fan of anything after that.

That being said, this tour was disappointing. The stage setup was amazing, but I have never seen them just seem to go through the motions like they did this time around.

Second note to Bono: Taking 5 years to deliver sub-par albums does not impress your loyal fan base.

Whatever you'd contribute I'd double it.

/maybe we should hold some kind of fund raiser?

Wombatzu: Bono from U2 says Rock and Roll is dying off, cites poor sales of last album as 'proof'. Fails to mention U2 hasn't made good album since 1987 2000

Fails to mention how Katy Perry is the best thing to happen to pop and/or rock music in a decade...and that is not an endorsement of the current musical situation.

the letter u and the numeral 2 (new window) (oh, yes! there will be profanity by the sh*tload)

No, it actually came from (I think) an old Dragonlance book where Tasslehoff Burrfoot talks about someone dying by falling off a cliff into the mouth of a lion thats on fire.

My comment was just a variation on that theme.

/Bono sucks
//really really sucks

Rock and roll IS dying...blame the following:






When a concert becomes more about jumping around while some shaven ape hamemrs on a guitar in some lazy alternate tuning...you know rock is dead.

/you're damned right i'm bitter.

Yeah....OK there, Racquetball Goggles.

There are new bands making great rock music, it's just that careerists like U2 don't when to call it a day.

He calls himself free but he charges people $100 to see him. He should change his name to the Latin equivalent of "sellout".

Trey Le Parc: He calls himself free but he charges people $100 to see him. He should change his name to the Latin equivalent of "sellout".

Hey, those glasses of his ain't free, y'know.

That being said, U2 might not be cranking out the hits like they used to, but their music is still better than 90% of the crapfest that calls itself "Rock and Roll" these days.

Me farting in the bathtub after an evening of hot wings and beer is probably better then 90% of "Rock and Roll" these days. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I refuse to blame Japanese girls for anything.
