U2

[Kent_Mackem]

(As you can see...) it’s not cool to like them.

I used to love them in then 80s. Not really my cup of tea now, but I’m 46 so a bit of an old git.

Was at the opening of the Gateshead Stadium concert.... Police were supposed to headline, but U2 were there and just blew everybody else away! Was early in their history, but you could understand why folks were going crazy over them.... especially live!.. Think the footage is on YouTube somewhere....

 

[Mally Mackem]

So was The Rolling Stones but I love them. If you hadn’t noticed The Stranglers headlined Kubix.[/QUOTE
stones are legends but i prefer the who.. in that era..

the who were my band in the seventies..

Every time I click my fingers a child dies. Stop clicking your fingers then.

[cluffy]

watching rattle and hum.. what a fantastic band.. im a big damned fan as you can probably tell from my avatar.. wish i had seen these live in their day..

Seen both.
Damned quite recently. It was ok but would rather have seen them in the 70s!
U2 in 87. Was pretty good but half their stuff really annoys me. Done some great recordings though it can't be denied.

 

[T_Bone]

It’s popular to knock U2. I love Better than the real Thing. Mysterious World. One, Wild Honey Sweetest Thing.

 

[look out piano]

Like the Damned a lot, hate U2 (not you obviously, the band etc).

 

[Latka Gravas]

Superb band, Leeds roundhay park 1993 the best gig I’ve ever been to.

They’re fuckin class marra, too many people are blinded by Bono being a knob.

I was at the gig quality from U2 you're right it's on YouTube.

Class until achtung baby, after that not my thang.

This. As soon as Bono started thinking he was a politician for the people, they went to shit. Rattle and Hum was great, some belting songs on there. I still prefer their earlier stuff though, The Unforgettable Fire is quality.

 

[Secret Visage]

Absolutely awful

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Saw them live in Leeds and wish I hadn't. Some canny tunes but limited guitar sound and an arrogant tosspot for a singer.

 

[EchoMan]

Bono is a twat but I do like their tunes.

All that you can’t leave behind is one of my favourite albums.

 

[palm 1]

Very few bands can sell out a tour in hours after over 40 yrs in existence.
Laughable when folk on here call them shite.

 

[cornish mackem]

who the damnded or u2

U2. The Damned and the Who were canny

This for me.
