Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:I don't know. I'm not denying that U2 have obligations, but I also don't buy into this notion that "they're touring because Live Nation is making them" - and not simply because they want to be doing it. I don't buy that U2 is going backstage saying "fuck I'm ready for this to be done". Sure they signed a contract and sure they have to fulfill the obligations of that contract, but they signed it knowing what they were signing up for, this ain't their first rodeo.

It all comes back to a subset of U2 fans who seem to think they know what's best for this band and they should be giving the orders lol. "No Sirius station, we want a new album, and we want it to be Passengers 2". It also doesn't help that these fans are negative and whiny as hell and it seems to be rampant right now (I say this as I'm whining about the whiners). It's getting annoying coming here and only seeing complaints.

Well we can’t have you feeling like that now can we ? Just because I have an opposing but equally as passionate view about the band just like you and i have issues in large about aspects of the bands PR machine doesn't negate my right to express them !!!

The ship is rudderless and if I am the one to point it out in here ( the land of u2 fairyfloss u2 rainbows and u2 unicorns ) so be it !

If there is an issue with my view/views I’m sure the mods will silence me !

This reliable news comes direct from Danial Gowans who states that as a result of failing to fulfil his particular needs and wants from the band they have spiralled towards insignificance. The people attending the shows weren’t really people but mannequin’s used to make the place look full and the band didn’t even perform it was a projection of them on stage while the real band members spent there time on holiday having failed to even rehearse for the tour. All the positive comments about the tour and any of the more recent material from the band has been band insiders trying to keep them relevant but unfortunately they have failed and there career is now over. Thank you Danial Gowan’s for this information.

Did I say that they are ‘finished’ as a band in any comments I have made in all the time posting here d*%kh#%d!?

I don’t believe I have been ever!

I have been critical about the way the band is being run more than anything else! I’m not the only one who has this opinion On this forum, difference being is I don’t sugar coat it!

Clearly that spooks u !

The band absolutely owe me zero (to respond to another poster ) and they musically as a group they are killing it ( apart from the remix’s and that godawful Asthma single ) live and studio , ironically it’s the easy shit , the shit that should be simple if run by a decent manager that’s hurting them , say what u like ( and take what I say completely to the other end of the spectrum also ? ) but this kinda PR shit does hurt them and it’s really all avoidable!
