I was driving home earlier from work and one of the radio stations was playing one of their newer songs (From the last album I think....)
What the hell happened to this band? |
|
Their heads disappeared completely up their own asses. It happens*.
*see Metallica, Van Halen, et al. |
|
What if they've always sucked and it's just that your taste in music sucked the same way?
|
|
shortly after the joshua tree album came out, bono swallowed a bad load and went full retard.
|
|
|
Sadly, unlike Francis Gary Powers, they have yet to be shot down.
|
|
|
Two decent songs in, what? 30 years?
Yeah, they've always sucked. |
|
|
I think they decided to go full suck when they were partially through writing Joshua Tree.
|
|
I agree, OP. I like a bit of older U2 -- hell, even up to about 15 years ago. Everything since then has been shit.

Self righteousness.
To be fair, Bono advocates capitalism as the best way to lift developing countries out of poverty. He's got one redeeming notion. |
|
But surely we can all agree that "The Edge" fucking sucks, yes?

Can anyone post a kick-ass solo from "The Edge"?
'Cause I'd like to hear it. |
|

You grew up and angsty, whiny, potato eating lyrics just don't do it for you any more?
U2 has always sucked. |
|
U2 is like forrest gump....FUCKING SUCKS!!
ok to be fair edge is a bitch... bono is a huge bitch... it is like the rest of the band does not exist.. Honestly nothing worth a fuck after Joshua Tree and even then the majority of the shit is just shit. I remember looking at a musican co worker and asking how the shit like U2 was possible when the edge could barely fucking play. |

They would have to have been good at one point to start sucking now. Since they never were good, they can't start sucking now.

I saw them in concert, maybe 1986, they were a good band back then, but already self righteous. Not sure I could name a song of theirs after the 1990s.

even though almost every song sounds like "bugabugabugabugabugabugabugabugabugabuga--bugabugabugabugabugabugabugabugabuga
there are a few I like. |

I like everthing on their first couple albums (Boy through UFF). Joshua Tree is almost all good as is Actung Baby, after that they got spotty. Nowadays, they're Generation X's Rolling Stones, i.e., have engaged in unintentional self parody and should have quit decades ago. |
