  1. After watching that crowd maybe we should check their pulse. I've seen cemeteries more vibrant than that.
  3. What did you expect? It wasnt a U2 fans-crowd, it was a bunch of people who likd the fact that their 1000 dollar ticket was largely tax-deductable...

    Yeah, I know. It's still sad.

    WTF are you talking about? I was making a joke. I don't care about who wrote that. Are you obsessed with Trump or something? No one was talking about that.


    What? Nah bro, dont like politicians. You like Donald Duck or Halfway House Hillary? Hopefully you're smart and don't like either
  7. Just watched Streets from last night. WTF Adam ? Same as Out of control last year at the @u2 party. Those in ear monitors can't be very good

    I think he was given the wrong bass.
  9. That Adam incident was hilarious. Bono reacted like Adam had just called him a wanker over his monitor.

    That guys a little baby, like stfu and leave. He deleted my replies. He's clearly a trump supporter. All these people bitching about politics but not aware of U2 being a political band. Ignorant wankers.


    There are a lot of Americans who liked U2 being teens/young adults back in the 80s and liking their music (and often their Christian connections) who are like 'well Bono needs to shut up about politics' and I just think, 'did you LISTEN to War or The Joshua Tree, those records you seem to think are so great?' They're not subtle. This is especially true for Bullet and why I loved this performance so much: the Trump thing fit exactly into the original theme of the song - conservative, militaristic America fucks up the rest of the world. The song has always been anti-conflict but was especially anti-conservatism/reactionary: anti-Reagan originally, anti-Fascist on ZooTV, pro-gun control on Elevation. That song has always been against what Donald Trump is, and what his 'America' would be.

    So frankly, I could not be more proud of my band than I am right now for what they did onstage last night.

    If you liked U2 in the 80s but are mad about their politics, you never understood them. That doesn't mean you have to agree with their stances, but good God, they've been like this since the early years... 'A message to the President!' before Seconds? Remember that? I, for one, am happy to see the band - and Bono especially - getting their balls back. Bono's talk about compromise is great. It really, really is, it's his most important point, really. But it's so good to see them - after about 16 or 17 years of being pretty inoffensive in their politicking, mostly promoting charities and such - ready to take a strong, unapologetic stance in favour of what they believe.

    And if that's too much for all my whiny fellow Americans mad that the band they liked so much back in college are out of line in criticising American politics... well, those people can fuck right off. That, onstage last night, was U2. That was heart and soul of this band. And that is one of the many reasons I, for one, am proud as hell to say that they are by far my favourite band.


    Sorry for the long rant, but that's just my feelings right now.
