The Problem with U2

kingcoffee · 06.03.2006, 05:41 PM

Is anyone else here tired of U2? I mean come on, sure The Edge , as I hate to call him, is a good guitarist. Good, not great. But let's get serious, I've listened to almost every single U2 record that is considered to be above 3 stars, and I don't see what all the hype is about. They have a couple of ok sounding songs, but above that they do not deserve the recognition they recieve. I'm glad that the band, mostly that pretentious prick Bono, talks about all the different problems concerning the world, but that's what it largely seems to be: talk. Has he ever really done anyhing to help all the injustices he speaks of? Besides the usual charities that a lot of celbrities give to as tax write offs. The guy walks around at night time with fucking sun glasses on. How much more pretentious can you get?

Well, there's my rant. Any feedback is welcome, whether in support of my arguement or rebutting my opinions on them.

They exist.Not much you can do about it.

U2 are a pile of shit. That's my motto.

atsonicpark · 06.03.2006, 07:47 PM

Is there anything with U2 that could NOT be considered problematic?

Everyneurotic · 06.03.2006, 08:17 PM

who fucking cares, i don't waste my time with those whores.

Is anyone else here tired of topics about easy targets?

I mean C'mon
I like Sonic, but this board sucks.

SolidZach · 06.04.2006, 12:24 AM

fuck U2,.... heh

IntoTheGroovey · 06.04.2006, 12:47 AM

Bono is what's wrong with U2, and those sunglasses fused to his head.

sidonie2006 · 06.04.2006, 02:08 AM

I don't like U2, but the problem is not there.
Their humane public image disgusts me, how can one preach human values when one joins ClearChannel?

Ignatius J.Reilly · 06.04.2006, 06:03 AM

whats wrong with u2 is that bono still thinks he's 25. and the chance that he will rip open his shirt and let loose his chest rug is still to high for my liking. plus their last album was so, so bad.

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.04.2006, 08:03 AM

U2, AM I TIRED OF EM??? 31 YEAR OLD IRISH GUY AND THAT QUESTION IS ASKED.

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.04.2006, 08:06 AM

i met dave edge evans a couple of times, top guy. real nice and totally knowledgeable about great music. i was tempted to ask him "is bono really that much of a prick" but when he said he better take this call from mr hewson or ill be in for an ear battery session, that kinda summed it up for me!

and they ripped off dirty boots for vertigo, and admitted it completely.
if it wasnt for u2 there would be no coldplay...so thanks guys, fuckers!!!

Oh, and also, if you don't like the thread, then don't post here! It's as simple as that.
