I love them up untill That lame Zoo album then they went down hill. Just Heard Sunday, Bloody Sunday on the radio. WOW an 80's song with meaning that has nothing to do with droping acid or getting high!!!! go figure!!!!!
I agree 100% People think the thinkers music was that of the 60's most was just fluff anyway back then. They see band like U2 as a threat.
I FECKING LOVE U2!!!!!!!!!!!!! With or without you is one of my favourites. That song is also one of my friends' alltime favourite song EVER...it is really special to my entire group of friends and it makes me happy. Bono is amazing....he has an amazing voice( Cannot believe justin hawkins thinks he actually has a better voice than Bono, man!! grrr!) Bono is such a cool guy, great songwriter and very intelligent too! I love the man to bits!! Love U2 to bits peace and love xxxxxx
One thing I love about Bono is he wants to help change the world so what does he do? He goes out and does it. Visits these third world countries and gets inlvolved. Not smoke pot write a lame song and maybe hold up a protest sign! He gets his hands dirty!
U2 is great. I saw them during the Zoo TV tour, and they put on a heck of a show, even in a cavernous football stadium in Washington D.C. I'm excited about the new album. The first couple of songs I've heard have been great. A lot of guitar and not too much gadgetry.
i personally think U2 is the shittiest band alive. Everytime it comes on the radio i start screaming. its that horrible.
huh?? thats what you said to begin with. ok, let me rephrase that, what john lennon song do you think that U2 covered, if you indeed say that you were thinking of the wrong track to begin with?? no one called you lazy or stupid, you were calling yourself that..... we are just trying to inform you. you were saying that you hate all john lennon covers, so obviously someone told you that song(sunday bloody sunda) was first done by lennon.. or another of u2's songs, which I dont think they ever did a cover of his....... not on a studio album thats for sure.
I think the Joshua Tree is an ok album, borderline good, but I find U2 completly boring. The drummer consistently uses the same drum beats or at the very least, the same feel, and does not seem to have advanced as a musician at all over the years. The "Edge" has overused the high chord structure sixteenth note guitar riff so much, that I can almost listen to any song on the newer albums and find it. I don't feel like they have evolved in any way, and I get bored with their new songs, the pop way about them, and how people push the new albums on the radio like its the newest most inovative and amazing rock music in the land. But have you heard the Joshua Tree? That is seriously a good album.
U2 also needs to learn how to count. uno dos tres cuatro, not fucking catorce. its not 1, 2, 3, 14!!!!
I also said the Beatles should have learned to read music! Insted of using the same cords over and over and over. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
You obviously haven't heard all the Beatles albums. They don't use the same cords over and over, at least not in their later years. You're thinking of punk.
Yeah, the Beatles were very repetitive, but they had the art of the hook. They knew exactly how to hook you. Apparently that didn't work on you. Anyway, how would knowing how to read sheet help with knowing chords? They'd just know how to read chords they didn't know. lol Tab. is the way Jimi did it, and he was a god, correct? Not knowing chords is just a fault of not enough study, not a fault of your sheet reading ability.
That "unnecessary noise" is called feedback. He was a god of feedback. He was a master at controlling the feedback. If you listen to him intently, you realize that it's the same on the albums as it is on the live productions, unless he chooses to make it something different. It's not simply as if he was a kid in his garage who didn't understand how to work coil wiring, and a tube amplifier. He knew what he was doing. Still yet, if it's not your cup of tea, that's fine. I think he was probably the most influential, and in my opinion, best guitarists of all time.
