Funny how all you suburban Jew2 fans think you're somehow relevant. Even you own suburbanites can't stand them

I really liked the War album. Still do.
Joshua Tree was an excellent album.
So was Achtung Baby.
After that, I can't really say any of the subsequent albums I heard were great from start to finish, and probably 10 years ago I stopped even bothering with the newer stuff altogether.
I mean, no doubt Bono is a pretentiously earnest, smug guy who thinks he has "changed the world" far more than he actually has. He HAS been willing to try and make a difference with various social/political/economic issues. I suppose I could fault him for his effectiveness with said issues, and his smarmy, self-satisfied attitude. Can't fault him for trying, though.
I do remember thinking around 1993 that U2 were probably one of the last larger-than-life rock bands that were carrying forward the tradition of that classic rock style bands like The Beatles, The Who and The Stones had established. Mostly because U2 weren't afraid to write about 'big' things (as opposed to just love/lust tunes) and there was a seriousness to what they did.
The longer U2 stuck around after the early 1990s, the less I felt that way with each passing year about their post-Achtung career. As I said, about a decade ago, I stopped giving a shit, too.
However, War, The Joshua Tree & Achtung Baby for me have among some of the better stuff ever to come out of rock music. Probably 90% of rock bands who ever existed would have sold their souls to have come up with just one of the tunes off of one of those albums, much less an entire album as good as any of those three...much less all three.
If they wanna tour The Joshua Tree now, and people want to see it, God Bless.
You don't exactly hear anyone pining for a Black Flag reunion or a new Henry Rollins tour, although I'd agree both Sting and Bono are...well, a couple of twats. Talented, but twats nonetheless. I can't disagree with Henry on that score.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Talking of which did you hear about this story the other week?
Having a go at Lou Reed of all people on this issue - some students these days really need to get fucking get a grip...Comment

God that's fucking ridiculous. Lou wrote that song about his own friends. And according to the book "Please Kill Me" - which was all about the early NYC proto-punk scene, Lou himself was dating a trans woman named "Rachel" at the time.Eat Us And Smile

None of them are Jews, retard...
Rollins is a bit of a mouthy straight-edge dicklick though....
I've liked him, but at least Bono can drink a beer, you homo...

She should learn this one, because she's ..... "one of them"
Henry Rollins on vocals, Greg Ginn and Dez Cadena on guitar, Chuck Dukowski on bass, and Chuck Biscuits on drums - best band that (sadly) never made an official record together - due to corporate record label bullshit keeping them out of the studio.Eat Us And Smile

The Messiah hath no problem being counted among the greatest Jewish songwriters of thy modern eraCome to think of it, that’s not surprising in the least for a group that puts its faith in Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, Joey Ramone, Paul Celan — and that other great Jewish rock star, Jesus Christ.

Oh Bono is a Yid Kid now! Gee, I always thought the bios stated he was into charismatic Christianity, knob. Googly-Kristy, again!Comment

I went to the Vancouver show...prices were ridiculous...in a huge cavernous stadium - 50k plus
What was weird about teh show is that it seemed way to small for that arena...sure the screen is big, but frankly U2 isn't bringing it anymore to justify energizing that size of crowd.
What made it even stranger was Bono's bizarre comments about the venue during the show (eluding it was not suitable to his eclectic tastes).
I know that the lion's share of shows are in the US, but there were a few puzzled faces when he spoke of "This is an American adventure... invented in America" and all of the visuals as well.
I know alot of production and rehearsals are involved to change the show for other countries, but it seemed just strange is all. People around me were perplexed.
It was made all the stranger as the band, particularly Bono spends alot of time here - they rehearsed for a couple of weeks here. Anyways, a smaller venue would have been much better I am sure.sigpicRoth Army CanadaComment
