To be fair, these guys have been around for about 30 years. Every band that sticks around that long ends up being totally lame.Originally posted by MarkGrace View Post
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.”

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.Originally posted by RC Vikings View PostThey seem to have lost their Edge.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

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.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostIs there anything more retarded than coming up with a one word nickname for yourself?

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'sOriginally posted by RC Vikings View PostI'm sorry but it's two words "The Edge".
"The Edge's" fault does he tell the drummer, "don't blame me, blame THE EDGE."Part of it is based on academic grounds.

I think they sit around and talk about how hot it would be to nail Madonna or Fergie or Rhianna or Shakira or Cher.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostDo you think these guys really call each other by these nicknames when they're in the studio?

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.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostTo be fair, these guys have been around for about 30 years.

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.Originally posted by MarkGrace View PostI was kind of thinking about that as well.

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.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
