Why did Bono lie about this being a long album?

[rathergoblind]

I've already done so:

Bono said Edges work was on fire...now it is

 

[Irvine511]

looks like it's gonna turn cold tomorrow

the heck do ya' mean?

 

[Muldfeld]

A lot of you folks are so full of crap. You're honestly telling me that none of you were shocked to find that the album is only 52 minutes after hearing Bono say that it would be "very long"? Bull. You're just taking it out on me and exaggerating what I meant. Really pathetic and cynical of you.

Thanks to the very few who are honestly partaking expressing their dismay or simply being polite -- which is the vast minority here.

Yah you guyz, stop it nao.

That's only because you really didn't get season three of Battlestar Galactica.

In the same way that HTDAAB wasn't guitar rock after hearing it be a guitar rock record.

In the same way that this album did not sound like "molten metal" or "a dancefloor shock."

In the same way that Edge lacks a third ball.

No, I wasn't surprised at all.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I blame the honkies.

There are no absolute goods and absolute bads. Except Israel.

[BoMac]

It was some random-ass article that came out weeks ago where the journalist just stumbled on Bono. It's been talked to death. And we knew how many songs were on the album weeks ago.

Oh, and by definition you can't have a vast minority. Think about it.

Seriously... im sure there were those of us, shocked, suprised, disapointed whatver... but none as pathetic as posting this thread

 

[Anji]

I blame the honkies.

I blame The Edge! If he really was on fire, he'd burn his own records and this thread

No actually Edge DON'T do that, this thread is funny

 

[bram]

Maybe Bono is a Cylon. That would explain his lying problem--he's plotting to destroy humans.

 

[phillyfan26]

he's cheating

Let's not jump to conclusions, here. Did he notice the warm spaghetti and the haircut? And is he Hispanic?

 

[No spoken words]

You pack of idiots.

"I blame the Cylons."
"I blame the Jews."

So-o wrong.

A-Rod is responsible, wake up.

There is NO way that ARod could have perpetrated this sort of crime on his own. All he has is needles. He doesn't even own a knife.

 

[Irvine511]

i still blame the Dalton.

A-Rod is a pimp. But, I never knew until this day that it was Lance Parrish all along.

 

[popacrobat]

Click Clack

 

[ZOOTVTOURist]

The last couple of U2 albums have been quite short

Yes, that's why Bono said, the new one is long – which is right.

Lance Parrish and his band of merry men: Dave Bergman, Chet Lemon & Tom Brookens.

I think if you were a fan that started listening to U2 during the ATYCLB or HTDAAB days then maybe you'd be surprised because you were too naive to know to ignore all of Bono's bullocks and crap that he consistently spews to the press around the release of an album.

Everyone else is pretty used to his B.S. by now.
