1. Bono looks like he digs 'Moves Like Jagger'

    Bono U2 La Petite Maison Cannes
  2. Yep, but I have to say that I really enjoyed this little acoustic + sax version

    Altho it is worrying to see cover of U2 songs used so much in new movie trailers...why don't they use the originals, are they so irrelevant? :/


    Even though I don't like this new version that much, I think that it fits the trailer better than original would.
  4. I'm starting to think Latest U2 News and Sightings should be two different threads
  5. Let's get to bitchin': U2 have been left off NME's 20 Greatest Live Acts of All Time list

    1. Muse
    2. The Strokes
    3. The Killers
    4. Queen
    5. Bruce Springsteen
    6. Nirvana
    7. Arctic Monkeys
    8. The White Stripes
    9. Led Zeppelin
    10. Rage Against The Machine
    11. Radiohead
    12 Jimi Hendrix
    13. AC/DC

    16. Foo Fighters
    17. Pink Floyd
    18. Blur
    19. The Clash
    20. The Rolling Stones
  6. Haha they've obviously never been to a U2 show...
  7. Nobody bad on that list though.
  8. Let's put it this way: NME are wankers. They have something against U2.

    What was funny about that list was most people that voted had barely saw any of the acts. I've noticed on NME that loads of pretentious indie people comment and vote so that's probably how it came to this conclusion. I mean, The Strokes at number two? Great band, but not THAT brilliant live from what I've heard from several people. All the indie's voted for The Strokes.

    Seems so. I'm a fan of Muse myself, but compared to others on that list they don't really deserve number 1...I mean Matthew Bellamy is a fantastic frontman, but not better than Freddie Mercury. And their shows are pretty well done based on the theatrics, but not better than the Floyd... :-/
    Anyway, my opinion, and I've never been to any of these shows, but I wouldn't put U2 below Muse in this list.
  10. That list is absolute bollocks - and I'm a big, big fan of most of the acts that are -undeservedly- on the first positions.
  11. Strokes are a great band. Their live show is so boring to watch that I spent an entire song and a half staring at a man swinging his t-shirt over his head when they opened for Pearl Jam.

    I was also partaking in activities that I probably shouldn't discuss on a message board that night, so that could have had something to do with it.
  12. Speaking of Pearl Jam, where are they on the list?????
