Yea, not the next U2.

Really depends on if they wanna change their sound like U2 did.
of course these other bands are gonna get trash-talked on a U2 forum. Of course. It makes a lot of sense, really. I bet on Coldplay, The Killers, or Arctic Monkeys threads, bands like U2 get bashed (the same way, and for the same reason people here bash The Rolling Stones).
By the way, while watching (for the 50th time...) "Hold me, Thrill me, kiss me, kill me" (POP in Mexico DVD) with some friends last night I can assure you:
- No other band will never have the same magnitude of U2 !!
(Sorry for being terribly honest and humble..)
Go on.. Coldplay, Killers... the time is yours: do your best ! Who knows...someday ???

YOU DON´T KNOW HOW YOU GOT HERE

Um The only band that I think can put a better show then U2 can is Pink Floyd but the killers??? they will never be able to put a great show like U2 can.
Yea, not the next U2.
And possibly write memorable songs too
Boy, October, War, Unforgettable Fire were all released within a span of 5 years.
Acrtic Monkey's debut album and Favourite Worst Nightmare, and quite a few of their one-off singles, were all released within about 3 years, and they should have their third album out pretty soon.
Yeah, but from 1980 to 1983 U2 went from Boy to WAR.
Arctic Monkey's haven't got up to their War yet.
And their singer did a side-project. But you already know that, I'm sure.
Arctic Monkeys are not good enough to be U2. They are not even that good.
Actually, each of the musicians in the band is more talented at their respective instrument than the members of U2. A lot of people simply won't like Arctic Monkeys as much because they're too poppy/throwaway (for now) and/or a dislike of the singer's voice (which is odd as he sounds like John Lennon doing deadpan).

I really never considered AM to be a threat for U2s position, I thought it would mainly be Radiohead and Coldplay.
Though do AM put emotion into their songs like U2 do?
I've only heard a couple of their songs.
Serioulsy talking: I´ve never - ever heard about this band in my life - Arctic Monkeys - and I´m usually very into music in general ... so..
hmm.. did I miss something ?!?

Indeed, but there's no way they'll ever make an album that sells 20 million copies. No one can anymore. The comparison doesn't work.
BEETHOVEN: THE NEXT MOZART?
11 November 1788
Ludwig van Beethoven -- a promising pianist from Bonn, whose technical approach has often been compared to that of Mozart's -- dazzled Viennese patrons today with several original concertos. We at Vienna Media descended upon him like flies after his performance, eager to badger him about his next composition.
When asked if he thought he would be able to top Mozart's latest work, Symphony No. 41 in C major, the young German became visibly agitated. "Ja, of course I would," he replied. "That one was a bit disappointing, no? A few bright moments, but nothing like the Mozart I know and love. The piano concerto I am working on right now is quite brilliant, and I'm sure it will beat the Scheiße out of anything Mozart has written over the past few months, or anything he will write in the future. I will knock him off his pedestal. It feels like it's time."
After being told that we had a preliminary copy of Mozart's opera-in-progress [ed. note: tentatively titled 'Die Zauberflöte'] that was also quite brilliant, Beethoven dismissed us with a scoff. "Please. Anyone can compose a Singspiel. Mozart is getting older now, and his ideas aren't as fresh as they once were. Just you wait until I finish my first symphony - ten years from now, people will be saying Wolfgang Who?"
(I'm bored and need an outlet for my procrastination.)
Sorry, but you can't be keeping up with music if you haven't heard of them. They skyrocketed in the UK and were being downloaded and shared in the US long before the album was officially released here.
i am a killers fan too, but it's articles and statements like that will prevent them getting larger than bands that are extremely successful and lasting.
