OK, I'm embellishing here. No way could the features be that bad.Oh, wait, Across The Universe had that exact feature. Sums up its shittiness quite thoroughly.

And somebody's bumped the "U2's relationship with their fans" thread. 
Now there's a lost cause. All the totally blinded fans on this forum make any reasonable discussion there absolutely impossible. It's a simple fact that U2 are incredibly distant from their fans. The fact that an unofficial messageboard like this does SIGNIFICANTLY better than the band's official board really says it all there.

Plus it's a fucking ripoff to use Zootopia. If you've got someone willing to pay to talk about U2, you aren't getting a rational discussion.

I choose to believe that U2 actually does care about their fans, but you're pretty much right...they would spit on us if we were on fire, but only after September.

From Oztips:
98%/$1.03 Cats
Demons $11.00/2%
$ value = value at Sportstab
% value = percentage of tippers who've tipped the Demons

Well put.
I remember a forum about a particular book turned into a pay-only site because the authors couldn't hack the fact they were getting so criticised on their forum and wanted to shut down discussion to just people who agree. It was hilarious.

I wouldn't blame U2 for being distant, i mean, there's some fucking lunatic in PLEBA wondering if there's a phone number to reach U2 at Hanover Quay.

Nothing worse than the kind of person or group who aren't willing to hear any criticism of what they've put in the public domain.

I don't think U2 don't give a shit. Bono's always been protective of even the lunatic fans at gigs who try to get on stage. I just think they're completely out of touch and not even aware of what their fanbase thinks. Edge's quote that they don't play LNOE because he doesn't think it's another SBS or NYD speaks volumes.

That should read percentage of people who've tipped either team, but the point gets across anyway.

I'm back. Is Edge's song from Captive "Heroine" or "Heroin"?

Heroine.
It's not about the drug.
All these years that I'd never heard it I thought it was.
It would make sense with songs like Bad and Running to Stand Still written as bookends to it.the tourist said:

I think calling it Heroin would be just a little too obvious by U2's eighties standards!

Ha, well, it would be easy for me to say to listen to them all, but that's a lot to catch up on. Probably the most key albums there are Stones - Sticky Fingers, My Bloody Valentine - Loveless, and Stevie Wonder - Innervisions. I think it's pretty interesting that you know as many obscure artists as you do, but haven't heard those.

Well I've heard OF a lot of those. I've probably heard songs off of a lot of them too. The ones that I would've gotten eventually anyway would've probably been House of the Holy by Zeppelin, the Franz Ferdiand one, the My Bloody Valentine one, and the Beck one.

You think the others rein back Edge from being over-obvious?
Oh fuck. I forgot we aren't talking about 00s Bono.
