The best part of the Coldplay show I saw last week, that by the way blew the five U2 Vertigo shows I have seen out of the water?
No goddamned bitching whiney high maintenance U2 fans.
People talk about Bono being too much to stomach with U2, I disagree...their fans are too much to stomach most times. Coldplay are gigantic U2 fans, probably truer and more realistic fans than many on here, and say so constantly (as recently as today when I read a quote from Chris Martin abou how coldplay has never written a song anywhere near as good as Where the Streets Have no Name or With or Without You).
Deal with it. Do yourself a favor, get over your inability to enjoy anything other than your messiah Bono. I am sure he would personally recommend you listen to some Coldplay.
U2 is just a goddamn band of four dudes that are admittedly limited musicians. Yes they are great...yes they fuck up a lot...yes I love them. There is, however, a million other artists out there that are worth listening to and enjoying. I don't think you can even enjoy U2 without having perspective of other great bands.
who cares if linkin park outsell U2 in the U,S,? the U.S. isnt the only country in the worldbsp77 said:
Hate to say it but a lot of this post is true. So what if Chris Martin is actively targeting U2 and trying to become the biggest band? Competition is good. Many people here hate it when any band threatens their biggest band status in any way. Hence, all the recent attacks on Coldplay and Green Day. You know, I don't really like Linkin Park, especially with their multiplatinum albums that outsell U2 in the US. But I will never bitch about it and this is the only time I have ever even mentioned it.
Don't degrade other bands in an attempt to bolster U2. Then these same people hear about other Non-U2 forums that degrade U2 and get pissed. Hypocrites.
This has been bothering me for months here. Sorry for the tirade.

I don't really care, I think you missed the point.
KUEFC09U2 said:this place makes me laugh sometimes, when someone says something that is defensive of U2, we get called "closed minded and ignorant" or "blind sheep" or whatever, pathetic,
also as has been said before CMB, why the hell did you go 5 times if it wasnt a show you enjoyed? why the hell did you give your wife tickets for anniversary, if it wasnt a good show? you had ample time to sell your tickets etc....
but wait no, i am just a blind follower.

Secondly...this thread was not started by someone "defending" U2. It was started by another U2 "fan" ATTACKING another band on baseless and most likely out of context remarks. U2 doesn't need defending, certainly not here. Calling Chris Martin a pencil neck moron and wanker (among other things) because he appreciates U2 success and strives to achieve what they have achieved is not defending it.
Save your self-deprecating routine for someone else. Poor you and all your abused U2 fan friends that are the only ones that ever stand up for 4 men that are collectively worth $766,334,871. I think they can handle my tour and GA policy critque and stating that I had hoped they would pull Pride from the setlist.

Where did you find these?

I made them.

"U2 can be beaten. For me it's no different from the film Rocky. You study your opponent. And I regard them as opponents."
JOFO said:Does anyone remember the scene in Rocky 2 where his wife is in a coma and Rocky reads her some poetry he wrote?
I prefer Rocky's poem over most coldplay lyrics.
