early U2 before they turned into douchebags
 

they were really great up to war. the joshua tree and everything after it sucks. (is there an album in between those? who cares)

i will follow is fucking awesome

yeah, great guitar lines

Agreed. I Will Follow is my fav U2 song, actually.

new years day has a bitchin bass line

what a rhythm section they had.

i like U3 better

might i add both the version of new years day and i will follow are so much better on 'under a blood red sky', they were awesome live


and sunday bloody sunday

all I gotta say. lol'd

lulz i didnt even know about that. how embarrassing.

just for the record, they've always been douchebags but they used to actually not be a shit band for a minute

U2 used to be my favourite band when i was a kid

i've just never heard a song of theirs that i've liked... cept that their bad stuff is fun because its terrible. kind of like metallica's st. anger

different strokes.

we all know how dave likes to be stroked.

indeed.

Hey, I was a fan of Eno, well slightly before U2--Bowie, Devo, THeads, etc. So I was very excited to hear the 'new' U2 and I still like 'em. Esp the new album--combines virtually all of their old tricks in a new and repackaged manner.

And I feel it is OK to like them because I got Grandfathered in since the first U2 album I bought was October. Loved the video for Gloria.

douchedom aside, boy, war, the unforgettable fire, and achtung baby are all fine albums in my book, albeit each having varying amounts of filler.

they lost it for me after Boy...a looooong time ago

The only U2 song I've ever liked. The lyrics are stupid, of course.

there's just so much stuff out there that is so much more interesting. u2 are almost as boring as coldplay.

boring is the worst thing a creative artist / musician can be

Edge has never grown on the guitar, 2 chords five albums.

They were great on the Old Grey Whistle Test.

happy clappy christians playing joy division

I do quite like them though

What are you gabbing on about? :rolleyes:

nothing, i was just increasing my post count through boredom.

I really like War, Under a blood red sky,the Unforgettable fire and Achtung baby and I actually think the Joshua Tree is quite good too (probably their most consistent record).


When he's inspired I think his guitar parts can be really great. In addition I read somewhere that he said that "Bono's circus" during concerts sometimes really embarrassed him, he actually seems to be a cool guy.

I also really like Adam Clayton's bass lines, but I can't bear him as a person (he seems to be even more of a twat than Bono).

11 o'clock tick tock is one my favourite early U2 songs, especially played live. The studio version was produced by Martin Hannett by the way.

I saw them live coming off the release of the Joshua Tree so it was an enjoyable concert but just like Led Zeppelin the radio killed them with over play especially that album. The concert and the Joshua Tree were the end of it with U2 for me. My taste started moving to a period of Jazz....

YES! New Years Day is the best U2 song




but what abuot Discotheque?

lol agreed

Sorry....I'm kind of a U2 fan....yeh Bono is a douche...


Saw 'em live when they went on tour for How to Dismantle an Atom Bomb....That fuckin' albums sucks....but the show was rather mediocre.

Achtung Baby is a brilliant album.

wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

your wrong.

Shut up. You're wrong.

thats funny because your a twat.

Oh, Jon. If only you were a woman, and not a coal-eating northerner. Why, I'd happily acquiesce to dicking you. Unless you looked like you do, in which case I'm sure you'd excuse me for giving you a mercy fuck and then moving to Bahrain.

"mercy fuck"

is that a band name yet? it should be

Rattle and Hum is an awesome doco. Pretty near perfect.

don't you happen to be a northerner too? I always thought so.

boy, october and war.. 3 albums which must be heard. great records them all.

everything from fire to present day vaires from being pretty good to god awful in varying degrees.

another classic u2 song!

Do you normally insult people with what they regard you as?
