This is one of the most cruel comments I've ever read. I can't understand how a U2 fan can say this. U2 is nothing without Bono and Bono is nothing without U2. The magic of this band works because there are 4 people in it: Edge, Adam, Larry and Bono. IMuse are a great band and it was an amazing performance last night, but it's nothing compared to U2. Matt Bellamy is very talented but hopelessly un-charismatic. Not a good singer, not a good frontman. The performance made me realize how much Bono is missing. No one could ever replace him in U2 and I'm sure the band doesn't even think about replacing him or any other member. It's a shame U2 had to cancel Glastonbury and it's a shame Bono has got injured and has to go through all this crap. But it's even more of a shame that some fans are making it sound as if he should be ashamed of it and U2 should get rid of him. That's absolutely tasteless. I miss Bono, but I know he'll be ok. The magic of a song like "Streets" in the original version performed by U2 will never be matched by anyone else.
still a very good job ) Originally posted by noiseless:Hm, I considered the Muse rendition of Streets as a very appropriate and adorable gesture, to U2 and to U2 fans at Glastonbury. Nothing more, nothing less. To me it's all but important to evaluate the musical quality of Muse's rendition. When your girlfriend sings you a U2 song you don't blame her for a wrong note and when she does well, you don't feel the need to fire Bono. Simple.
(That being said, I did miss Larry's unique drumming and the extra snare in the first part
