    I was into u2 when the Boy album came out so I have as much right as anyone to say what I want. It was people like me who made U2 the success they are today. You are probably one of the sheep who jumped on the band wagon after they became mega stars.

    I am going to love wathcin g this tour because in the USA, U2 are pretty much irrelevant.
    They get very llittle radio airplay even with the tons of promotion. In the 80;s and 90s there was very little promotion and they were mega stars because the music was great. Now the music sucks so we have the hype machine to drum up ticket sales. But mark my words, they will play to empty stadiums if they try to fill 70,000 venues. I for one, am not going to sit so far away from the stage to listen to GYOB or anything from the last 10 years. I did it for Joshua tree and Zoo TV but no way will I do it for the junk they are releasing for the last 10 years


    There are enough members who criticise U2, but there are not much members of a FANCLUB who hate u2.

    Please decide what you are and take according actions (be polite and try to express yourself in a different way)

    For examply Get Yout Boots On is easily one of their worst songs ever, and yet the 4 fools pick this song to play on shows? Look at the U2start poll and you see even diehard U2 fans hate the song, especially compared to other sings.

    Then the second song they pick to play is Breathe! This is not garbage song and the polls show it also! Why the 4 fools don't pick their best stuff? Moment of Surrender is one of their best songs and I bet the fools won't make it a single or even play it in concert. Remember, Kite was not even played on Elevation until the outcry was big from fans.

    I am sick of these fools picking junk like Elevation to be their singles when they have ten times better material like When L Look At the World!

    PLAY YOUR BEST STUFF, YOU FOUR FOOLS! Otherwise, people like me will forget about you. and by the looks of most fan reviews of NLOTH many of us are going to forget about U2


    I don't hate goyb, I rather like it. I like nloth also, so I'm not gonna forget u2. You just don't understand that singles are not designed for the best songs, but the easiest to like and radio-friendly. Mos is not radio-friendly, but likeable. Its more of a chill song also, which is hardly ever used to build excitement.
  3. The fascists had Mussolini as leader and I'm pretty sure no-one here has him as their big leader

    Anyway, of course you're free to have your own opinion, but does it really matter what singles they release?
    And you have the opinion of someone who doesn't even TRIES to like the now-U2, at least so it seems. Not really a good way to make your opinion be taken serious, is it now?

    And I'm 17, so I didn't have any choice to like U2 since they're big stars. But that doesn't mean that the stardom of them is my reason to love them. They caught me with ONE song, sounds like I was a meant to be fan then, doesn't it?
  4. I don't come here to do anything but discuss the band that I once considered the greatest band of all time. I also come to download some of the old bootlegs, the new stuff stinks so I don't bother with it.

    Also, maybe U2 should start listening to the complaints of their old time fans because we are leaving in droves. If they wonder why they can't fill stadiums in the USA then they should get honest opinions. One reason, Bono is such an egomanic is because all the sheep who say everything he does is so great. For example, RS gives NLOTH 5 stars! Are you kidding me? IT has at best 4 good songs and deserves 3 stars at best. The problem with U2 is they are told everything they do is great when it has not been good for over a decade.


    Abyway, I am done here. It was fun but don't think I am alone. go read the reviews of Atomic Bomb on amazon and the reviews of NLOTH when they are posted. You will see
    that there are a huge amount of U2 fans who think U2 are pathetic now. for me, the last 3 albums were all junk so I will never buy another U2 album until they prove they deserve my money. personally, i think they finished. They are reusing old lyrics and guitar riffs on NLOTH
    and so it is obvious they have run out of ideas. They should retire because they are becoming the Rolling stones

    Leave already, stop posting
  7. You don't know, and you don't get it do you?
  8. FASCIST? Did I get that right? You call U2 fans fascists? That's quite an insult.

    Why do you spend time on the bootleg board of a band that you obviously don't like? Among a community of people you don't seem to like, too? Too much time?

    Haven't you noticed the ongoing discussions about what people on the board like and dislike about U2? Most people here don't consider Bono's the messiah, and if you spent just a few minutes reading a few controversial threads you'd have noticed by now. But despite all differences in opinion somehow we U2 starters manage to get along with each other quite well and without insulting each other. Why can't you?

    Behave. Don't insult. And I think you should apologize. Not for your opinion but for your words. Then you're most welcome here. Even with your negative opinion towards U2 - that's not the problem.

    And if you don't want to stop insulting then go away and get a life.

    Nice use of words, congratulations.

    No one here thinks they're perfect, just we don't act like our own opinion is the only one that matters. You do act that way.

    There's a reason why U2 isn't relevant in USA. It's because Britney Spears, Hannah Montana, Snoop Dogg and similar "artists" are relevant.

    To U2 fans it doesn't matter how much radioplay does U2 get, because radioplay isn't indicator of quality.

    And you still didn't answer: why did you join this forum if you hate U2, you hate U2 fans who are facists, you hate your life and so on and on and on? Do you enjoy being in pain?


    EDIT: can't believe I spent my 1000th post in discussion like this.
  10. Mark my words, future newspaper headline

    "U2 Play to Half Empty Stadiums"

    "U2 Concerts Sales Disappointing"


    Then remember all the fans like me who used to be there and loved U2 ade replaced with the
    17 year old punks who wouldn't know good music if it slapped them in the face.
    There are many more U2 former fans than there are new fans so if you want your precious
    U2 to continue making records and touring you better hope they listen to the people who made them the stars they are today. We are fed up with them and now are hoping to see them retire


  11. Wanna make a bet? If they sell out almost every gig and they get 8 Grammy's or so (which I think they will) will you take your words back?
