Aaron Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 For all the forum members living in Europe, U2 will soon begin a European tour in Copenhagen. I personally love U2 very much and saw them perform in may in Canada, for me they are the equivalent of the beatles these days, so if you are a U2 fan it might not be too late to get tickets. good luck!

alpha Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 I went to their concert in Anaheim on April 23, and can honestly tell that it was the best concert I have ever been. Bono rocks and U2 put on a truely memorable show. I love that band. They are THE BEATLES of our era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellthecat Posted June 30, 2001 Report Share Posted June 30, 2001 I hope for a nice 100% fatal plane crash that will rid the world and the airwaves of these geriatric show-offs that ran out of what little talent they had over a decade ago.

Aaron Posted June 30, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2001 SteveU2 talent has not at all gone away, in fact their latest album is extremely popular and is considered among their best. U2 is not bullshitVery few of their songs are meaningless, they have serious messages about life, and humanity, moreover, Bono (the lead singer) is involved (perhaps more than any other singer)in humanitarian causes specially in erasing the third world countries' debts towards the west (it counts in the hundreds of millions).And finally have you forgotten the Joshua Tree, songs like With or without you, Streets have no name haven't found what i'm looking for one loveand many others that speak to 'almost' every human's heart.Its a different question that your taste is different, but your opinion about U2 being showoffs is definitely not shared by most of the planet.

bellthecat Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 I did not actually say they were bullshit, I said that they are nothing special, and never really were anything special. (Kazza, or anyone else in Britain, do you remember a hilarious send up of them in some comedy show - I think it went something along the lines of their manager, who was also their former school teacher in real life, treating them all like spoilt little kids). As for "popularity" - so what, that is not the point. And "the twat with the hat" Bono may well amuse himself by getting involved in commercially safe humanitarian causes (I don't think we will ever see him rip up a photo of the Pope, for example), but again that is irrelevant to his musical creativity (or absence of). And about them being insufferable show-offs - remember the laughable "zoo TV". That shut you up! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
