    Geez those guys are lame.

    lol.

    A million bucks says Jeff Spicoli is setting his DVR as we speak.

    How are they going to fit 1000 TV screens onto Letterman's set? Are they going to have a heart-shaped runaway for Bono to walk out into the audience?

      I didn't even know they were coming out with a new album and then I saw their ad during Jim Rome is Burning. The song they're pushing sounds like it sucks ass.

      Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby are two very good albums and they're not all that similar to each other so U2 had some breadth. But U2 hasn't made anything decent since then. The continuous devoted following mystifies me.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        They seem to have lost their Edge.

            Is there anything more retarded than coming up with a one word nickname for yourself? U2 doesn't have just one, but two of these guys.

                It's worse than that. Bono was origianly calling himslef bono vox and then, recoginizing his chagne the world potential, I guess, he dropped vox and is now just bono.
                PLesa excuse the tpyos.

                    I'm sorry but it's two words "The Edge".

                      Do you think these guys really call each other by these nicknames when they're in the studio? If the drummer is pissed at "Bono" and Bono thinks it's
                      "The Edge's" fault does he tell the drummer, "don't blame me, blame THE EDGE."

                        I think they sit around and talk about how hot it would be to nail Madonna or Fergie or Rhianna or Shakira or Cher.

                          I was kind of thinking about that as well. If The Beatles stuck around for as long as U2 would they have become a parody of themselves in the way that U2 has? Possibly. Thankfully that didn't happen.

                            U2's so lame.
                            Crying all the way to the bank.
                            They're probably so ashamed of being the biggest rock band in history.
                            At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

                              A good example would be The Stones. While I am not sure they are being pathetic, their current music is completely irrelevant. However, they are wise businessmen, as they have made fortunes touring every few years on their back catalogue from 15-30 years ago.

                              My guess is that we will see U2 in 15 more years, still putting out increasingly lame albums and selling out arenas all over, with a playlist that looks essentially like their greatest hit discs.
