Originally posted by Biograph1985:Yeah, George seemed pretty bitter about being a Beatle. But like John (and probably Paul and Ringo too, hell), I think George would get a bit jealous when a band would get close to being the 'Beatles of their day,' as U2 was in the late-80s/90s. I don't mind that George picked on Oasis, but obviously I'm not with him on U2. It's interesting, though, that although both George and Bono have the hearts in the same (right) place, they couldn't be more different as public entertainers.
Originally posted by Biograph1985:I'd heard some time ago that the 'Quiet Beatle' didn't like U2. Bono in fact confirmed this at the time of Harrison's death: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0112/01/pitn.00.html. What do U2 fans think of George Harrison? Did he damage his own rep by ragging on U2, or does anyone even care?

I think George just wanted to play music, and I don't think he really wanted any of the whole "Beatlemania" things that came with it, but that's me

I think that any band has ever been close to be "Beatles of the day". Nobody has been as influential and as sucessful as the Beatles. I like U2 a lot but they don't come close to the Beatles.
