Break at work & these came on the tele,😝😔

If they played in my back garden i'd close the curtains & as for the singer, well 😝

They're a bunch of tossers who have had about 3 decent songs in their career. Blind squirrels and all that.

TerryCochranesSocks · January 30, 2024, 11:12:00 AM

Bonio is a tit

Johnny Thunder · January 30, 2024, 01:13:41 PM

Fuckin shite.

Could have had tickets to see them at that new sphere in Vegas last October.

Went to see Tesla at the House of Blues instead.

AtomicDog · January 30, 2024, 01:14:18 PM

They've only ever been a p*ss poor Echo & the Bunnymen imitation

Oh, and listen to them sing "satellite of love" . . . More like satellite of sh*t

Sorry lads have to disagree, Joshua Tree is as good an album as you will ever hear.

U2 are a band who it's cool to dislike, put with Dire Straights, the Bee Gees, Simply Red, the Coors.

TheWalker · January 30, 2024, 02:49:28 PM

Musically were very good for first few albums then Bono became a total twat and music became awful
BUT still a whole lot better than the worst group ever formed dire straits

I know we disagree on ABBA, opinions indeed.

I think Bono has always been a tosser. Another tax dodger telling us how to live.

they were part of an era bands made up from Public Schools, add modern actors to that. I enjoyed some of their stuff, would I put them in the same league as Fleetwood Mac, no.

TMG501 · January 30, 2024, 03:30:58 PM

This, IMHO, is the only thing decent U2 released, and then they had to get a legend in to show them how to do it

I genuinely thought they might be a band.
If so I'd hope they'd be better than the lager.

AtomicDog · January 30, 2024, 04:04:06 PM

Even spelt wrong they're a dog's arse too . . . Up there with Coldplay, and that little fat whining scotch Lad, Ed Sheeran the list is endless!

Music to jump off tower blocks to

I don't think I have ever intentionally listened to Sheeran or Adele apart from over the system at work.

Disagree on ABBA! How on earth can you disagree on ABBA. Pure legendary cheese.

People slag Bono off over his poverty campaigning because it's seen through the prism of a pop star's ego. Now he undoubtedly has a big ego - that's part of the job - but don't forget his Christianity. I would argue doing good works is at least part of his beliefs. As for U2's tax arrangements, I don't believe the band asked their accountants to find ways for them to pay less individual tax. I suspect their accountants moved the U2 organisation (offices, management, touring staff etc) itself to Holland, following Ireland's decision to change the tax status of artists in Ireland. Admittedly not a great look and a move the band gained from, but not quite as simple as Bono avoiding tax. Musically speaking U2 stopped exploring in 1997. I stopped listening in 2004. I understand why people find him annoying. To be fair, both he and the band have said they understand too. He's not without self-awareness.
