I don't think any of you know what rock and roll is. To say U2 rarely "rock" is crazy. Unless you're all Tool fans and they're the standard you using?
I think the opposite. To me, they "rock", but don't exactly "roll". The Rolling Stones have the "roll" down pat, but U2 is more a *rock* band.Dorian Gray said:I think "rock and roll" is a better description of U2's music than just "rock."
but I'll never say why...

Somewhat, yes, though "roll" also encompasses a certain blase, a cetain detachment, maybe even a coolness - and most importantly, the ability to become lost in the fun of the moment. In order to "roll" the band has to be all about having fun. U2 are a very serious band, though they also poke fun at themselves. They usually work at the "roll" aspect of their personalities, while the "rock" comes more naturally. To "rock", a band has to have the ability to stir the pot, to create an evironment where it's possible to change the mind of an entire stadium, to take the crowd into the stratosphere, and give them the opportunity to examine themselves in that state. This is where U2 excells.Dorian Gray said:
hmm.. musically, I take it you equate "roll" with swagger, rhythm and sexiness?
would this be a fair assessment?

shaun vox said:U2 is a Christian rock band. and you all know it ,you just dont want to face the truth. they were and are a Christian rock band.
(elevation boston dvd) after walk on what are they singing. at the grammys, after walk on what are they singing and so on.
bono saving the world is another thing to look at. so they are the best Christian rock band.with songs like peace on earth and when i look at the world and the J33-3 on the album.
shaun vox[/i] [B]I dont think this album will be atyclb 2(i know some have said it said:I don't believe you people. Fearing that a U2 album will suck. Really, they haven't made a bad album yet. The album may rock harder than ATYCLB, but it'll still sound like the same band. Which is a good thing. Love it or no, ATYCLB is a good album....but if you can find a way in which you can really relate with it, it can be a GREAT album. Same with Pop, Zooropa, etc. It's not just about how the album sounds, it's also about how you hear it and what it means to you. You are all U2 fans....that's why you're on this board. None of us know what the album will sound like....other than the fact that it'll have Bono's voice, Edge's guitar, Larry's drums and Adams bass lines. In the end....isn't that enough?
