U2?????????????

You gotta be @#$%& kidding........... hahahahahahahhahahhah

Anyone see the film "It might get loud" the Edge is lame, Jack White and Jimmy Page made him look like the total amateur that he is.

Interesting as most of Qs' target audience probably weren't around 25 years ago.

Arguably U2s best work is from the pre 87 years. After Zooropa I find the stuff listenable but not as good (I haven't heard Atomic Bomb and Horizon). Never really got October at all and found Rattle And Hum a bit patchy.

As I always say it's just another poll yakety yak blah blah. On a U2 web site they're all happy, here it just stirs things up. Music is about what you like not awards and sales and opinion polls.

The award received by U2 was presented by Blackberry
Blackberry was sponsor of the latest U2 Tour...

One hook. ONE freakin hook. Plus God is the lead singer. Horrible for the last 10

No, for sure not
seen them a lot in 80 and 90's.
couple of times in 2000/;s.roen
No
Once they were great, good.
Got all their albums
But...............for f...s sake, not as good as the Stones.
bono with his eternal preaching.
Does he give his millions to Africa??? No
So shut the f... up
Come On, Stones, play the concerts and rock the world to kingdom Come next year

Eighteen awards were handed out, including to rapper Tinie Tempah for Best
Male Artist and to U.S. internet sensation Lana Del Ray, who was crowned the
Next Big Thing.

Brian May and Roger Taylor accepted entry into the Q Hall of Fame on behalf of
glam rockers Queen, and Take That's Gary Barlow was honored as Classic
Songwriter.

This says it all. U2 is the greatest act for the same people who honour these.
So there´s no point.

"Coldplay were voted Best Band in the World at the Moment"

I honestly find this revelation to be far more disturbing.

Haha, yes I saw that one too. And even weirder is the singer from Coldplay saying "We are about 7th". Does he have like a running chart that he measures himself and others on?

I still am convinced though that soon they will become hip again. U2 , I mean.

I love U2 very much but they haven't been hip since about 1984. Hip doesn't matter though, compared to what happened to their songwriting skills?

I once heard Coldplay described as U2 lite. With U2 being quite lite already,and I like U2, they are great live, I shuddered. I tuned out after Parachutes.

Maybe the most boring act in the last 25 years?

Sure the most boring act.

Sure the most boring act.




The most amazing dangerous band coming through during the last 25 years is easily Oasis. They're the best "new" band. But now new music isn't interesting anymore cos youtube means there's no real need to go see shows by new bands.
Legends yes, if Dylan, Stones, Beady Eye, The Who, Macca, Mavis Chuck Berry comes, then I'll go, but new unknown bands? Youtube in 2 secs, good or bad.

so very over rated!

Get over it, folks....

People hate U2 don't they?

Don't hate U2.
Bono's ego has become annoying.

Has nothing to do with hate....they are just so boring

Just heard on the radio that U2 may end their career pretty soon. Regarding The Edge 50% chance that no more NEW music will be released. Robin on the Sternshow pick up the news and passed it to the listeners.
Rock and Roll,
Mops

"Act" yeah I'll buy that. They are actors pretending to be a R n' R band.

Over rated and boring!

i don't hate them at all.
I listened to some U2 albums hundreds of times, but after all you can't leave behind tour (that was still great to me) i found them boring and especially Bono.
Maybe they have changed or I have changed, i don't know, but i don't hate them

Yes human, I saw that film, and came away with same feel as you. Edge was such a drip; actually the whole film was pretty lame. They should let them go for a few more days and relax.
best part though was Page with his record collection, playing air guitar to...was it Link WraY?

If the band was THAT bad,he wouldn't fill big stadiums like they did.
One can dislike how they sound -I don't like either how the Edge 's guitar sounds - but it's something big to see on live.



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

The same magazine that voted the Stones best live band of 1990. Bet no one wants to argue the point on that?
