1. U2 may not be the most relevant band anymore, but imo they r still the best live act going round. Nothing can match the feeling you get when u hear the start of Streets, or the ending of WOWY. Aslong as i still get the goosebumps, then they r doing their job well.
  2. Dont know if its true or a joke from somebody?
  3. C'mon guys: U2, Bono, everyone, we all have a lot to learn from David Bowie, who pulls out an album, a single, a video, out of the hat, taking everything by surprise. And what a single

    AMEN!
  5. Everybody knows that no matter which venue U2 decides to tour, it's going to be a big show. They won't do anything more simplistic than their Elevation tour setup.
  6. It's been going on for a while, so I guess it's not really a new thing.

    And based on all the comments, I think the band shouldn't bother attempting to be "relevant." If being relevant means bowing to the will of 99% of those ignorant people, forget that.
  7. +1
  8. I really don't get why people are so against this relevant thing... if you aren't relevant there is no need to make music in my opinion.
  9. I think people have a different definition of what Bono means to be relevant. I think Bono wants to be relevant in terms of being important for mainstream music listeners, he wants to get non-U2 fans to become U2 fans and he doesn't want to become non-important to the recording industry other than selling older records with hit songs.

    What some of the fans are saying to this is that they shouldn't be trying to stay relevant in the mainstream and they should be trying to cater to their fans instead, and what I'm taking from this argument is that people want U2 to stop caring about trying to top the charts and release something than the fans can and will appreciate.
