thaman Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 the truth is that they have boring music no energy no power no life and saying that they are the biggest band now is just stupid!!! Quote
Shia0bundan Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 ..and saying that they are the biggest band now is just stupid!!! Umm.. did they say that or are you just saying that because you hate them?I don't particularly like their music, but they have their good moments. Quote
mikegiuliana Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Ithink u-2is good, bono gets on my nerves, but as a group they have had some tremendous success and very good albums.. Quote
vr1981 Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 If you listen to the older albums like war, rattle and hum or october, they have made some great records. I don't reaaly like their newer stuff Quote
thaman Posted September 5, 2004 Author Posted September 5, 2004 has anyone ever heard of a band overdose, theyre great B) Quote
jack99 Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 the truth is that they have boring music no energy no power no life and saying that they are the biggest band now is just stupid!!!Stating that "U2 sucks!!!!!", now that's.. well, maybe not stupid but very ignorant. It only shows how close-minded you are when it comes to music. Quote
Shia0bundan Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Wonder when Bono will see this. Defend ur band. Quote

It only shows how close-minded you are when it comes to music. You said it m8t! Even if you dislike a band for some reason, you have to have an ear for music talent. U2 are at the top of the chain m8t. But you probably grew up on plastic cock rock or something. Gunsguy Quote

It only shows how close-minded you are when it comes to music. Am I reading this right? If someone thinks U2 sucks they are automatically close-minded? Or was it just the way he posted his opinion that made you say that?And Subs...an unwritten rule for anyone who likes music? Umm, no. Funny thing about music - it's very subjective.Personally I think they suck as well - they are so over-rated it's not funny. I don't like Bono as a singer. I don't think their music flows particularly well either. These are just my opinions though...if others want to worship the band, and listen to their music, they can go right ahead. But frankly, I don't see what the big deal is. At the very least I will respect them for trying to be innovative and having strong lyrics...but musically I don't like them at all. Quote
Gunner Boy Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 They have really good ballads!!!...I wonder why u say the suck?? Quote
Jack_Daniels84 Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 dickheadgo see them live and u will soon change your mind. Quote
stevGNR666 Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 i wonder why Bono has come and raised hell on this thread yet Quote

Of course you can dislike the band but as you said, you can't deny that they're very talanted musicians, great song-writers and an innovative band.So, yes, if you say bands like U2, Rolling Stones, The Beatles or Queen for example simply sucks, then you are somewhat close-minded.

gnruk Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 U2 have have some great albums and great songs, but bono gets on my nerves he should forget politics because hes crap at it, he is not relevant at all when it comes to that, hes a musician. U2 are probably the biggest band in the world right now Quote
African Slash Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 U2 are amazing. Beautiful day. Sunday Bloody Sunday. With or Without You. Oneall fantastic Tracks, and more obviously. U2 Are good Quote
KBear Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 U2 RULESIt's easy to say a band sucks....but how much have you heard from them? What songs? What albums? If you think they suck, give a good reason to think so.People who don't aggree should listen to these albums:The Joshua TreeRattle And HumWarAll That You Can't Leave BehindI also heard their new album was VERY good, but I haven't heard it myself. I have the Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum. Got those on tape back when I had a Columbia House membership and I got 11 tapes for 1 cent or something like that. That old stuff isn't too bad (still not my thing though), but what I have heard from them in the 90s is pretty bad IMO. What I've heard is their singles, and they've released quite a few of them. If I don't like a band's singles at all then I simply don't bother with their albums b/c there's a 99% probability I won't like the rest of their music either. Off the top of my head I've heard:OneMysterious WaysEven Better Than the Real ThingNumbLemonStayBeautiful DayStuck in a MomentWho's Gonna Ride Your Wild HorsesElevationThe Sweetest Thingand several more I'm sure. Stay is my favourite out of these songs, followed by One. The others I don't like at all (Numb and Sweetest Thing are kinda catchy though). Having said all this, U2 is far from the worst band in the world and I can certainly recognize their talent. They have some songs I like...they are the type of band that I'd buy a GHs disc from, maybe. But even then, the songs that I do like still aren't really my thing. It's hard to put my finger on why...but like I said, melodically I don't think they are that good, and I don't like Bono's voice. Quote
mikegiuliana Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Ever notice these days you always have to tell someone to listen to their old stuff to appreciate the band?? Quote
Jack_Daniels84 Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 older stuff is always better coz thats when a band has something to write about, once your famous and can have anything u want it probably gets harder coz u have made it already. U2 have been going for ages and have a shit load of loyal fans, U2 rock! Quote
PropertyOfKR Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 the truth is that they have boring music no energy no power no life and saying that they are the biggest band now is just stupid!!! Yeah, but think of what they did for Amnesty International Quote
MancaMulas Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Well, i'm not a big fan of them, but they have some great songs! Quote
stratomaster Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me That song kicks ass B) The riff is top-notch Quote
