More U2 bashing by the Independent Newspaper.

Oops... U2 send beer to gift to sober Slash - Independent.ie

Luke Byrne clearly does not like the band. This kind of a statement is over the top!

"It has been a bad number of months for U2 when it comes to giving gifts – now it seems the ageing rockers have put the proverbial foot in it again."

Thoughts from Interference?

Didnt they know he was a recovering alcoholic??? even i knew that. What a stupid mistake to make,unless it was some type of sick joke ?

Really stupid mistake

 

[ozeeko]

No...more...gifts!

 

[david]

Aw, at least he was cool about it. Maybe he gave it to his crew?

Maybe he thought "fuck it" and drank it. Then it would all be Bono's fault. The press would have another field day?

Hopefully they didn't apologize by sending him a carton of cigarettes.

It's pretty much their standard gift when someone they know is playing Dublin.

Who cares?

 

[ozeeko]

At least it wasn't heroin.

They say right in the article that Slash was playing with his band. I'm sure his band didn't mind the beer. slash is a big boy, he knows what do do with the gift, and thanked U2 for it.

Exactly! but how do you feed the U2 bashing machine then?

 

[brooklynmike]

I'm sure U2 keeps up on Slash's personal issues, and I'm sure it's the first time slash has received alcohol as a gift since becoming sober. Jeez.

And in other non-news, today Bono's car ran over a squirrel that ran across the road, promoting outrage from animal rights groups everywhere.

And at least it wasn't heroin they flew in on a first-class ticket.

"and to add insult to injury, it is reported that singer Bono of U2 installed a copy of the band's new album on the squirrel's iphone before driving off..."

I can now add to my already awesome U2 Bad Ass Pirate Phase list:

1. Not paying their taxes in Ireland
2. Hacking everyone's phones
3. Destroying the Malibu environment
4. Homomaniacs
5. Crashing the EMAs by playing a song with no single or video
6. Trying to get Slash to fall off the wagon

Either way, the first sentence of the article is grammatically incorrect, and that amuses me.

...and like he's not surrounded by alcohol all the time. Adam obviously is not offended by their choice of a gift...and he's a recovering alcoholic, too. Must be a slow news day for the Independent.
