U2

[Markus Asraelius]

My opinion of U2 is that they rip people songs off from people and are basically an over-rated band. I think people give them too much respect and I also think that Bono and his boys are stuck on themselves.

Now, the're older music was really good but nowdays, I think they suck.

Does anybody else agree with me on this?

[Izzy]

And breathe out....

Couldn't u have used the half dozen U2 threads for this?

[Mandy.]

I don't really like the band, but I think the songs are great. Mostly the lyrics.

[estrangedpaul]

I agree. War, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, Rattle And Hum, Achtung Baby are classic rock albums. But their last two albums sucked. All Bono trying to change the world, not enough great music.

[Butch Français]

I don't like them these days.

Well gee, let's see...
The lead single off of U2's last song was a rip-off of a song by The Offspring. They ripped off a punk band of all.

Axl is so beyond Bono and I didn't even mention the name axl.

Acthum baby and Josua Tree are just

well thats quite vague...what songs?...and thats just one youve mentioned...what others?

well...im not sure thats true, u2 has had at least 15 albums released against what? 5 from gnr? and you rarely see a u2 gig cancelled...etc...

[Jim]

I actually quite liked Vertigo.......................

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Vertigo is ok, but it sound just like the last 3 albums nothing new

[Bono]

Vertigo is ok, but it sound just like the last 3 albums nothing new

hahahaha!! Vertigo sounds nothing like anything off All That You Can't Leave Behind and especially not like anything off POP and hell no it doesn't sound a damn thing like anything off Zoorpa . Do some homework first before you comment. That was horrible.

U2 have postponed their sold out Australian tour due to kick off this month because of an illness to one of the bands family members. Unsure of the details. Hope the family member is all okay.

Really? ATYCLB sounds like Vertigo I know that, there are songs that have the same clich? thing about the 3 last albums I was just exagerating. I was talking only about Leave behind 

[Eduardo]

ATYCLB is far more soft rock than vertigo, so I don?t know whatyou?re talking about... Vertigo is shit though, a song made for radio airplay... This new album has sooo many songs better than vertigo. Some will soon be U2 classiscs, like Sometimes You Cant Make it On Your Own, Miracle Drug, City of Bliding Lights, Original of the Species

However, this album just doesnt come close to the likes of Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby and War... It?s not their best, as Bono has said

That's intersting Eduardo. I personally feel How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is U2's second best album. Mind you I've had just over a year to soak it in but I honestly feel the only U2 album better is Achtung Baby. I'd rank Joshua Tree 3rd and personally I feel War is their weakest album. As for Vertigo I actually really like the song. It definately kicks ass live, but you are right about the other songs becoming classics. Or at least should be classics. City of Blinding Lights is amazing and Sometimes You Can't Make it On You Own is the only song that I actually shed a tear over. Original of the Species is fantastic and even Love and Peace or Else has become an epic live performance on the Vertigo tour.

yeah it's a  shitty ting. It';s belived that the edge's daughter is abttleing leukemia but that is not confirmed. They're pretty tight lipped about it. Hoepfully everything works out. Also the start of the tour was also delayed one month due to this.

[SOLGER]

its definitely a great album but nothing beats Achtung Baby. The Joshua Tree and All That You Can't Leave behind are good too.
