Well, I'm just as fucking sick of U2 as I am the Stones, so that may count for something."What we've been doing, which is great and certainly cost saving, is I train in the sand pit in McDonald's. I do a few laps. I go through the tunnel a few times. The kids don't mind if I smoke. Plus, when I'm done, lunch is right there."- DLR 2003Comment

U2 are the fucking CD that every Dockers-wearing, Volkswagen-driving, Starbucks-drinking fucking lame-ass bore wants to throw into the player at every dead party in 30-something suburbia."What we've been doing, which is great and certainly cost saving, is I train in the sand pit in McDonald's.

See 'em live. They're anything but bland. I will admit that their last three outings album wise have been a bit on the bland side. But really, name me an overwhelmingly exciting rock band now? Name me a more interesting act still putting out consistently decent music after all these years...Originally posted by degüello

Well congratulations, you've just named virtually every band on the current Rock pantheon. Granted, U2's stuff is a bit bland, but I 'll take their mediocre subpar efforts over 95% of the shitty wrap-metal acts today has to offer.U2 are the fucking CD that every Dockers-wearing, Volkswagen-driving, Starbucks-drinking fucking lame-ass bore wants to throw into the player at every dead party in 30-something suburbia.
And there was a time that U2 was very cutting edge (no pun intended) and set the cadence for rock and had every act trying to emulate them to some extent (even VAN HAGAR with their handycam concert antics and their "deep," social-commentary cheese-fest lyrics on F.U.C.K. and BALANCE. Download a sbd ZooTV boot from circa 1992-1993, and you'll never hear a more relevant band. Unfortunately, they got lost in trying to "one-up" themselves.Last edited by Nickdfresh; 09-13-2005, 07:47 PM.Comment

I have, actually. Two times- once on the ZooTV tour (centre floor) and once on the Pop tour. I even tried to go for the All That You Can't... show, but decided that $500 for a single ticket was a bit much.Originally posted by Nickdfresh

And yes, the concerts were "anything but bland" (although the Pop gig was a definite disappointment, even though I liked that album), but those were pretty much NEARLY TEN OR MORE FUCKING YEARS AGO. They've long since ceased to be anything beyond a ho-hum, "everybody's favourite," safe, predictable, self-important bore.
I've reached a saturation point, I suppose. If I honestly hear one single Joshua song at any point in the near future, I may turn around and shoot whatever sap happens to be anywhere in the near vicinity. I can't stand Bono anymore and I can't stand their dull, over-done, over-worn, long since muted and long since played-out, static, bloated energy.
Yes, they did make fairly monumental rock music at one point, but the spark is long since gone, and it's been a bland, bland, very un-rock 'n' roll ride ever since."What we've been doing, which is great and certainly cost saving, is I train in the sand pit in McDonald's.

I disagree. There's far more life and verve in a single verse from Coldplay's X&Y than a whole CD's worth of current U2. And obviously I acknowledge the former's enormous debt to the latter, but they're still doing it with way more energy and oomph than U2 has in fucking years.Originally posted by Nickdfresh

The Dublin boys need to either light a fire under their bloated, self-important asses or toss in the goddamn towel and stop boring us all to death.
I also dig The Killers' "Mr. Brightside" and The White Stripes' "Blue Orchid," among others.
All new stuff ain't shit."What we've been doing, which is great and certainly cost saving, is I train in the sand pit in McDonald's. I do a few laps. I go through the tunnel a few times. The kids don't mind if I smoke. Plus, when I'm done, lunch is right there."- DLR 2003Comment
