>>72001608
But they're British and sell out massive concerts on numerous continents

>>72001608
U2 can sell out most any venue in the world.
Why would yo make such a false statement?

>>72001632
Irish - But I know you meant that

>>72001632

They're still manufactured corporate pop rock shit and always have been

Two jumps in a week, I bet you / Think that's pretty clever, dooooon't you boooooooy

>>72001647
started as an underground post-punk band playing in small clubs

I don't know one person who likes U2 - I am British. Apparently they have fans here, maybe I just know people with taste.

Or you are under 30 and all your friends are too.

>>72001832
That too.

Young people like us actually have to look back into their discography to see how good they are since all their best music that made them so big happened way before our time. We just have BEAUTIFULL DAYYYYYYYY

the greatest fucking rock show of all time

RAISED BY WOLVES
STRONGER THAN FEEEEAAAR

>>72001608
The only thing that genuinely disgusts me about U2 is that part of their early fanbase was the gay scene but the second they got popular, they were fine admitting they don't like gays

That, and the fact that they are the poster children of Christian rock and it led to some very boring music in that scene

>>72001823
I know some big fans, but they're all super Christians, so I don't associate with them much

They should have called it quits after The Joshua Tree.

>>72002536
Agreed..and I saw it live when the ZOOTV Outside Broadcast Tour was in Las Vegas.

>>72002587
They should have called it quits after Achtung Baby*

FTFY

>>72002621
Zooropa and Pop were still pretty cool extensions of what Achtung Baby did. Then Bono became the Fly for real.

>>72002621
But Zooropa was their best album
