  1. Here's from a recent interview to the ex-Oasis frontman (from stopcryingyourheartout.com), the mighty, and wicked, Liam Gallagher. The interviewer asks the following non-biased (...) question:

    Do you share my dislike of U2?

    And here's Liam's response:

    I have never seen a U2 fan, not ever. I have never seen anyone with a U2 shirt or been around someone’s house that has a fucking U2 record. I mean, where do their fans fucking come from? Where are they? I reckon they buy them. With all the money they’ve made, they just bought a load of people and every time they do a gig they get a big old shovel and pile them into their gigs to make them look good.

    Liam, you're a great rock n roll hero. But your eyes are covered by parma ham, as we say in Italy. U2 are a Very Big Band! Perhaps too big to be cool in your book, but there we go: who says what's cool and what isn't? Be that as it may, here's where the "fans fucking come from", and I bet many of them are also your fans .
  2. Fuck him. A guy who can't even be in the same room with his brother, what right does he think he have to say such things? Not that I am a U2 fan, it would have bothered me the same way if he had said "The Killers fans" or "Oasis fans" or "Miley Cyrus fans"... Bastard. Fuck him.
  3. He's a two faced prick...

    He didn't seem to dislike us much when they supported us in Oakland on PopMart. Edge has recalled Liam thinking he was a big man with bevvy and ended up carrying him and putting him in a taxi home. Everyone else proceeded to drink the night away...

    Anyway, now that his brother thas fucked off with the only talent the band ever had, we'll see how Liam gets on now. Now doubt his entire contribution to music will be him being 'mad fer it' at B-list British music award ceremonies...

  4. I agree with the posts to date, however he may have touched on something there in his typically inarticulate manner, although I don't want to give the moron too much credit.

    The points worth taking from this are;

    1) the great majority of people who fill the stadia for U2 gigs are not necessarily 'hardcore'. For example, for all of the U2 concerts that I have attended in Ireland, I have been accompanied by at least four friends who didn't own a U2 album between them.
    U2 coming to town is like the circus, people go along to see the spectacle and join in the 'event' without necessarily being fans. How many of those who bought tickets have a copy of 'JT reissue' or 'Artificial Horizon' or even 'Pop'?

    2) U2 have never been 'cool' and many of their fans in the British isles (LG's limited frame of reference) would be reluctant to wear their interest on their sleeves so to speak. This probably contrasts to our less self conscious EU and US counterparts.

    As I said, don't want to credit the fool, but these are points worth noting.
  5. The first point is absolutely true, about the 80%-90% (that percentages werer discussed in this same forum a few months ago) of the audiences at U2 shows (specially from 1998 up to now) are not hardcore fans, we all know that. But he said that every people at U2 shows are bought by their money, he called us idiots or whatever. Fuck off, I don't wanna talk about this guy.

    and still, you're doing. he succeeded in his communication

    I don't care whatever he says because I don't see him as a big rock and roll guy. HIs brother Noel is way way better in writing music and lyrics and a nice bloke too. But even if he was that big and I admired him, I still wouldn't care. We know better.
  7. I wanted to edit it and say "anymore" but Firefox crashed xD (really!)
  8. Wow, after the incredibly famous (at least in our world) story of U2 and Oasis riding around in a car together in the early 90s, everybody belting out "One" as it came on the radio...this is unbelievable.

    I mean its believable considering LG....but fucking unbelievable.

    agree....read that story in u2byu2 a week ago and was highly surprised.


  10. They seem pretty friendly to me....
  11. Yeah, someone said something negative about U2. Burn him, he's untalented and an asshole and ows all his success to other's work anyway. Like everyone who doesn't like U2.



  12. I hate the guy and he's a c**t of the highest degree but you gotta love his musings
