These guys are going on 30 years...and I don't see anyone coming close to putting on a show like them.

This song kinda grows on you after a few plays. At least in my case it did...

Coldplay can only dream of being 10th of these guys, even if they did try to copy U2's sound.

Coldplay isn't in U2's league. Comparing Coldplay to U2 is like trying to compare you to me. A little "short" on material ;)

Ya, Coldplay is average at best no doubt and I agree, you are "short" in the pants department.


We can't all be studs like LAG and myself ...HH...I'm sure Granny says you are a sweet boy...;) :D

your mom says hi.
i love the early U2 stuff up to Achtung Baby and even the odd one after that album. but to be honest i really am not a fan of that new "get on your boots" single at all.

however i do imagine they can still put on a hell of a show.

get on your boots

was this the song they opened with at recent Grammies?
didn't have that hallmark U2 hook in my opinion. let's see what the rest
of the album has to say.

U2 was the best band of the 80s. Their albums from that time - "War", "Unforgettable Fire", "Joshua Tree" and "Rattle and Hum" - are masterpieces. Their music jumped the shark sometime in the 90s and Bono's been making a complete asshole of himself since then, but they still put on one hell of a great live show.

Actually, Bono is at his best, when being a total asshole...that is what you don't get! :D :D :D :D :D :D

U2 comes and goes for me - some singles of their make me want to piece my eardrums with a pen, and some remind me of how brilliant they can be...

I just wish Bono wasn't such a sanctimonious asshole, and wish he would just concentrate on being a musician...

..the fact their song was overplayed isn't their problem, just shows how many people loved it. They are a good band and Chad is a very talented guy. Music is subjective and if you don't like it, don't listen to it. Pretty simple stuff. I'm guessing this Donkey Dick talk is reminding you of one of your recent trips to Tijuana? No need to explain ;)

I agree. But there have been a few singles in the 90's that were good.
Most bands are like that. They hit a peak and have a hard time staying there.
U2 is and will always be an 80's band. They have alot of talent but can't keep up the top notch writing / playing.

I disagree 100%!

The best album produced by U2 is Achtung Baby. The Edge finally threw away the echo guitar thing...and pushed himself into another league. Bono got some swagger and style...and the rest is history. This album and tour pushed the boundaries of Rock and Roll and is one of the centre-pieces at the Rock and Roll hall of fame in Cleveland.


BTW - Nickleback is bar band in comparison to U2.
