why does everyone want to put u2 songs up against eachother, whats the fucking point? to downgrade the newer or older track? wow, talk about a good time.

vertigo vs elevation.......who gives a shit. how many threads do we need on this subject? apparently 8. its rediculous. they are two completely different songs in two completely different eras.

achtung baby versus joshua tree. oooh hot topic there but you know what? you cant compare the two, its like audi vs maytag.
in the end you dont get anywhere and all it does is set a threshold for u2 bashing (or constructive criticism whichever you happen to call it). just critique the damned song, if you dont like the particular effect egde threw down on vertigo, fine but dont dig up "thrill me" just to have something to put it up against. its lame.

moral: just take every new song and put it in the u2 arsenal of kick ass songs that theyve built to go back on and blow people away with when on tour. elevation was a good song, vertigo is a great song, there both really nice to have in a melting pot to look back on when your life's work is complete. im envious of u2s entire work and how theyve done it their way, theyve truly beaten this game called life and they did it with gods given talent.

just look at each new bit that u2 has to offer as another chapter in their incredible book. dont cxompare chapters with eachother, its stupid.

be lucky
 
i don't mind comparing of tracks as long as its constructive.. when you got someone bashing a band member's performance because they don't like the make up of the song, thats a bit different
 
Whoa, throttle back there turbo! Nothing wrong with comparing/contrasting two awesome songs....If you don't like it, then don't participate. By saying you prefer one to the other doesn't negate the quality of the other :wink:

Well at least it's all in good fun. The fights used to be nasty, Popfights, ATYCLB bashing, it was awful! Now they're mostly just games that started when we didnt' have much to discuss.

Oh, you're killing me here! In a good way, of course. :wink: The one you have now is better though, because you can't quite see what he's doing... and you can fill the details in yourself. :D

Note to self: MUST GET OUT OF THE GUTTER!

Why thank you, oh mighty, all knowing one!

And what is the point of this thread? To denigrate your fellow posters? To show how much better a fan you are than those who wish to compare and contrast two songs? If you don't want to compare songs, don't.

And you obviously don't know how to be nice to people. There's no reason you need to get personal and insult someone's intelligence just because they don't agree with you.

Back on topic please, folks.

First...to Hello Angel -- the topic of the little darling's thread is to insult people who disagree with him, hence my original bitch slap.

Second...to the little darling himself -- if you had a smidgen of the knowledge you claim, you would realize that not only am I not the author of the threads which so offend your delicate constitution, but I have also not posted in them. Perhaps you would do well to check you facts before you ram you head even further up...well...I'm sure it's a region you've explored thoroughly. :)


Now...on to important topics. u2granny...just what the heck is Bono doing in that first photo? It looks mildly obscence.... Not that there's anything wrong with that! :wink:

And to Hello Angel...ummm...I'm through now. Sorry. The boy needed it.

ooh you got me good old girl, i wasnt singling you out. you were pro battle threads and so i told you (and the rest of your clan) to keep them going. and as i recall YOU claimed my knowledge, i was just letting you know it was true.

lastly, i never insulted anyone in my original post. the flaming didnt start until YOU stoked the fire. so while i cram my head further up my own ass, i may pass you along the way. ill be sure to say hello, you piece of sh.... yeah that thrusting bono disturbs me, where can i get the entire video u2 granny?

A response to the important point. I don't know. I got it from U2Star long ago. I think I'll change it.
