He should have put on his boots.

I think I know the real reason they sucked at Glastonbury.

Maybe they were having a bad night?

/wait, sorry, U2 kills kittens, carry on

Then what shoes was he wearing from 1988 - 2010?
 
2011-11-10 03:05:17 PM
He should form a Super Group with Jimmy Buffet and Snoop Dog.
 
2011-11-10 03:09:32 PM
So the super-intelligent Bono is also super-stituous? Usually those don't go together.

No, they're just makers of rather uninteresting pop crap who've somehow been passed off as a brilliant rock band.

Well I guess nowadays they do, although personally I think their pop sound isn't terrible. But back in the day *puts on glasses* they reworked and redefined the meaning of being rock idols by positioning themselves as gods and saviours of music. It was a pretentious thing to do, of course, and they're still a very pretentious group of people, but the music was good so I'll excuse them for it.

That man is fixated on how he's that that tall. Always got to pose the band's pictures to make him look taller. Then the platform shoes. Cripes, get over it.

You seem to be mistaken.

Fark is full of very, very bitter men. They hate anything that is pretty, successful or popular.

The hate has nothing to do with genre, sex, race or creed.

It's all just a coping mechanism for those with sad, sad lives.

nocturn I've thought Bono and Robin Williams could be brothers for at least a decade now. I totally see it, too.

What? I can't hate U2 because I don't like their music? Do I have to be bitter and jaded?

I dont hate U2, their last few albums have just not been very good, and im sick as hell of bono. Guilting me about shiat doesnt make me want to listen to your records.

Cyno01: I dont hate U2, their last few albums have just not been very good, and im sick as hell of bono. Guilting me about shiat doesnt make me want to listen to your records.

Their last record was the best of their career. The one before that was iffy and the one before that stunk on ice, so I'll give you that.

Not sure what Bono is making you feel guilty about. I think that's on you, not Bono. I've heard his politicin' and none of it was about blame or guilt.
 
2011-11-10 05:46:57 PM
he never fails to impress me. he's beaten his record once again!

/seriously shouldn't be obscure

For different reasons. U2 is basically the same as Britney Spears or any other pop-schlock. Generic, uninspired music for generic, uninspired people.

Nickleback has a ridiculously shiatty singer who makes us extremely jealous of deaf people. The only reason they gained popularity was due to Clear Channel's cost-cutting measure of having one guy select the music for all their stations nationwide. And that one guy is deaf, apparently.
 
2011-11-10 06:30:35 PM
No, Bono--you sucked at Glastonberry because that's what you DO.
 
2011-11-10 06:34:05 PM
They started out a little different from all the other bands and have a distinctive sound. Then Bono got arrogant and the band's music got ridiculously preachy (that's when I stopped listening to them), and these days Coldplay sounds more like U2 than U2.

//Bono, just go back to your and Edge's young girls on the Riviera and STFU
 
2011-11-10 06:38:28 PM
F*ck bono, him and his entire band should have all f*cking died in a fiery plane crash 20 f*cking years ago.

elgripe: Not sure what Bono is making you feel guilty about. I think that's on you, not Bono. I've heard his politicin' and none of it was about blame or guilt.

During a U2 concert, between songs, Bono started slowly clapping his hands, about one clap every 3 seconds. He then strode up to the mic, continuing his slow claps, and said to the audience "every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies," to which one concert-goer shouted in reply "stop clappin' your damn hands then!"

Axl Rose is an anagram of Oral Sex.

Bono is an anagram of noob.

Don't get me wrong:I realize that this is what it's all about on here. Chalk it up to inexplicable naïveté,but I thought that,like Weird Al Yankovich,the Achtung Baby purveyors were immune to it. I know better now.

Didn't Mel Gibson also blame the shoes?

I wouldn't go that far, but I do agree it was better than the several preceding it, and was far and away better than weaker early records like October.

EIP if you want to hang.

imho, This Spiderman album is U2's best in manymany years. They found a way to
1. not try to save the world.
2. not be cripplingly self conscious about not trying to save the world.
 
2011-11-10 10:04:06 PM
I like some of U2 I just don't like how much of a douche Bono has become. He is the King Douche, the douche all other douches aspire to be.
