U2 to perform at the Grammy Awards

[VintagePunk]

I don't care if Coldplay wins a grammy, but why do they have to copy the Sgt. Peppers' outfits?

That really annoys me....

And why do they keep sucking up to McCartney every time they're accepting an award?

I guess the failure of new projects and plane crashes can really change one's attitude, huh?

Too bad cause I think Angels and Airwaves were much better than Blink 182, Boxcar Racer, and +44. In my opinion it's not even close.

The U2 performance gave me "POP" flashbacks... Bono struggling with an "okay" song. He seemed to try and over compensate and I couldn't help but think of the Vegas debacle. He even threw in his Miami walk which gave me pause... and the eye liner could be too Michael Stipe, in my opinion. If this track had no vocals, it would be stronger. The rhythm section runs with this one but the lyrics are sub-par. I'm just glad they're not trying to sell out football stadiums at the same time. The Staples Center always has horrid sound quality. Perhaps they should have passed on this appearance... it's hard to sell an upbeat, intimate four minutes with Clive Davis in the front row. As for the Fly visuals... it's not quite "dreaming it up all again." Popmart tried to parody the dna of ZooTV too much... I hope they have some tricks up their sleeves this go around... Streets needs redemption after it was flogged during the Vertigo Tour.

As for Coldplay: the most overrated band in history. I've only left one concert early in my life... Coldplay. Chris M. lectured the crowd on when to purchase "hotdogs" during the set. The most un rock n roll experience I ever had. Regret... regret...

They tried to tie themselves to U2, and now the Beatles.

Thank you Chrissi

VP I figured i got it when I wasn't premium and it was lost forever

No, I just suck and haven't written one yet.

Coldplay wins.

Is anyone else strangely bitter toward Brian Eno?

I can't help it...

You've got to be kidding! U2 fans have no right to demand that U2 hog Eno. Coldplay made an excellent album with the help of Eno and are getting recognition for it. Get over it!

I don't know. I've always liked Blink and Boxcar. A&A never did much for me.

Brian is the only reason that VLV is a halfway decent album. The songwriting isn't very strong. The sonic landscapes, Brian's doing, are excellent.

Why all the Coldplay hate?

Katy is sucking right now
