~tangerine~ Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 U2 to perform on ABC's "Good Morning America" tomorrow, Friday March 6th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I thought the perfomance and the song were terrible. The lyrics were awful. And i agree with what someone else wrote. Bono looks silly dressing like that at his age. Hell, Jim Morrison gave up the leather outfits in his twenties. What YOU think is irrelevant, for obvious reasons. You have no business criticizing ANYONE. Shut the fuck up. Bono has more class in his shit than you have in your entire body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Oh...and back to the subject at hand... Anyone else get the new CD yet? WOW. It's definitely a new direction for the band, but it's still unmistakably U2. Great album. And the "hit single" is the weakest song on there. It's one of their best.

I'm going to pick it up this weekend. I've been dying to hear the rest of the album and if the single is the weakest song, I'm even more excited Does it have a Moroccan flavor to it (the rest of the album)?

Not to the degree of Page/Plant's "Unledded". But the influence is subtly in there. This is a very atmospheric release. Sort of similar to The Unforgettable Fire, but more well structured and powerful. This is definitely another high water mark for U2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have seen the first three nights so far and they have it for sure!! I picked up the new disc, but haven't made it all the way through just yet. Can't wait for the tour - I agree with others in that their performances give an incredible high lasting for days. Bono, and the band as a whole, is certainly an inspiration for those of us who try to make this a better world for everyone - not just ourselves.

I do have a lot of respect and admiration for Bono's commitment to the causes he's been supporting - I like the fact he really is involved with it beyond raising funds.

U2 have always been my second favorite band, behind the almighty Zep. Why there are so many U2 bashers is beyond me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you catch Good Morning America? Great version of Beautiful Day...i am so looking forward to their tour! Any time a band is so popular there will be many haters. But to bash Bono (as a person) when he is such a great humanitarian is purely ignorant. If i were Bono, i would be laying on my private beach on my private island being waited on hand and foot, lol...not working so hard! As it was said on GMA today, U2 are all about "their fans"... that is always evident when they perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great musician, great humanitarian and yes, they are a band very much connected to their fans. That's one of the great things about their shows - you really feel a bond with the audience and the rapport they have to him is pretty intense.

Mrs. Plant Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I guess I am one of those bashers. I understand what they are, what Bono means, but they truly BORE me. They are not in my top bands, because they can't compare in talent. And most of their songs sound the same as the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotplant Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Kinda like Aerosmith Huh! Yeah, but Aerosmith has a BIG TEN incher. Yeah, I get 'U2' but personally don't listen to them. To each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bond between these four men who have been together since their teens is also wonderful. Close to 30 years, 22 Grammy's and 145 million records sold (and counting)... U2 are ONE!

Dzldoc Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Personally I've always liked Aerosmith and I used to think U2 sucked, some bands are an aquired taste for me and I think the one that hooked me was when they performed "Sunday bloody Sunday" at Red Rocks. Does size really matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does size really matter? It helps. Maybe I should give them another try. Bono has a ten-er? wow. I would've never known.....by looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
