Originally posted by ahn1991:U2 should watch Coldplay Live 2012. Chris says something amazing that I think Bono should take to heart. He says something along the lines of "we've stopped thinking about the people who don't like us and started to appreciate the people who do like us."
U2 would NEVER follow that mantra. For them it would feel like giving up the struggle of being the best they can be....
I actually find it really interesting that Chris said that, Mylo to me is their weakest album IMO OF COURSE. But for them it feels like their best!?!? WTF? I think this comes from that one quote directly, they've stopped "fighting" for a new audience and are playing for their fanbase already. And probably the fanbase from Viva they picked up as well.I mean not a problem but the reason I bring it up is because I DON'T want U2 to be playing for "us" I want them to keep the genre changes, the fighting, the struggling, I really don't want them to surrender to the mainstream, THEY NEED TO FUCK UP THE MAINSTREAM AGAIN XD (or at least try)
