Quotemelillo its better than ABB IMO Depends on music taste - if you like softer music, then U2 is ok. If you don't like softer music / pop - then it is Stones. To me ABB is way better. Probably the same with Beatles vs. Stones etc.

QuoteThatsWhatISay Records put aside, even U2 acknowledge that the Stones are the greatest. They also know that in the end of the day, no matter how many 90.000 seaters they fill, the Stones are musicial legends and they are not. Exactly - couldn't be said better.

Some Beatles fans here would probably also rewrite the history stating that Beatles influenced: Buddy Holly, Elvis, Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bill Haley.

U2 has turned in to a crowd pleaser band that mostly plays soft rock songs. This is also refleceted in the last CDs where most songs are easygoing soft rock songs / ballads. And that's what the majority of the audience nowadays wants. I don't know if we would like a Stones CD with 10 Angie similar songs - I wouldn't. I don't know if we would like a Stones tour with 20 An

Quoteslew This ain't a bad version No bad version, but prefer Stones in whatever way - a very slow / boring version. Mick's singing is way better, the dynamic in Stones versions is way better. Stones formula is: never play the same song in the same way. Compared to Bruce - it is still not Las Vegas time yet.

His consert guitar playing gets "stiff" / "bad" because he at the same time both wants to sing, act, gesticulate, dance, run, fool around.... etc. - that is his problem. In studio he plays quite good - just as well as many other lead / rythm guitarists in leading bands (probably at the same level as fx. The Edge).
