People complained about Metallica chasing the dollars. U2 have been a billion times worse especially Bono and that has come out in their music. It lacks passion massively and Bono is more interested in preaching to everyone how children are dying in Africa and how he is the second coming. I've heard from people who went last night that they played really well Bono let them done heaps. Would have been better with just the crowd singing apparently
Yep, I think U2 should give up on the "causes" & just spend all of the money they make & take potshots at other artists like so many others do ( insert AC/DC here).
Whoever you heard from, obviously have issues. The note that he hit in Miss Sarajevo being the obvious example.
Considering their age, I hope that I have the same stamina as them, when I hit that age.
I attend a LOT of concerts. (2 x Metallica, Leonard Cohen.I'm going to Linkin Park tomorrow night. I have been to U2 again tonight) IMO, comments from people putting down the efforts of bands like U2 ( let's face it, they are the biggest band of the last generation), seems to be either tall poppy syndrome or people who see only their tastes as being "fresh" or any good.
As I said earlier today - each to their own. But bagging someone for supporting just causes is sad. ( I expect jealousy comes into play or embarrassment from some of the other bands, because they feel guilty on wasting their money)They should hang their heads in shame, but instead, some in the media find their comments worth repeating. So sad. (Sting is another artist attacked for his views)
end rant, end another great night with U2
