Shuttlecock XVII - The Best Title That Ever Happened a Thread

[iron yuppie]

What would Bono’s rap name be?

For some reason I'm thinking "Figaro." Maybe because I just listened to Madvillainy a few days ago.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

What would Bono’s rap name be?

Bono Straight Outta Dublin

 

[LemonMelon]

In my head this is a rap to the tune of Fight the Power.

It's like a freestyle rap that a high school student performed to get out of a social studies project.

What would Bono’s rap name be?

Bruh it's the BMan

 

[lazarus]

What would Bono’s rap name be?

I know what Leo's would be: Old Daddy Bastard

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Shades McGullicutty

 

[BoMac]

I guess the collaboration with Kendrick makes a lot more sense now

 

[corianderstem]

B-Izzy

Shades McGullicutty

Ha ha ha ha

 

[cobl04]

Get Out of Your Own Way will be even worse as a song because I can imagine those lyrics being surrounded by faux hard rock music.

Great to hear about the concert HG, it certainly is a marvel of a show

 

[Axver]

I could not be less hyped for this album.

I kind of just want it to come out so that The Other Place has something new to talk about and so that KFC can stop melting down.

So, uh... you really think that'll stop once it's released?

 

[Axver]

OK, melting down about something else. I'm tired of him asking every random poster, who knows no more than him, whether the album is still coming in 2017.

All I ask is varied setlists and varied meltdowns.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Varied meltdowns are a given.

Varied setlists are a pipedream

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Agreed! And it's cool to see how they're more comfortable playing the B side of JT. Definitely a "looser" performance this time around. Hard to top that LA1 set list though!

 

[LemonMelon]

Lest we forget, Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way is a real song that we have to look forward to.

 

[Axver]

Lest we forget, Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way is a real song that we have to look forward to.

And Get Out of Your Own Way.

And Much More Better.

And... oh hell these titles are awful.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Bono should have gotten out if his own way and made these titles much more better, amirite?!?!

 

[Mack_Again]

yo Bono's rapper name, of course, should be Lil B

 

[Kieran McConville]

You've got to wonder about the kind of yes-men these guys must surround themselves with now.

Token Pop Hit Producer #4: "Wow, these lyrics are really on-point, Bono, but maybe we should cram in some more lines from the other song you brought in. I'm sorry, the other 'song' you brought in."

B-Double

I stumbled on the Wikipedia entry and apparently only Australians know that term, too bad.

 

[cobl04]

Well, he’s about as big as B-Double.

 

[david]

What a weird era.

 

[Mack_Again]

you australians speak weird language mate

 

[kabigon]

Our language is totes kawaii

 

[Axver]

Well, he’s about as big as B-Double.

Whenever they tour Australia they probably hire a fleet of B-Doubles just to carry food for him.

And to carry his hat.

This is what makes me sad. I remember seeing a JT-era interview on TV where Bono said they refused to have yes-men so they had to make better musical choices (or some shit like that) and now that's over.

I'm still excited for Friday in San Diego, but mostly because about 147 of us are all going to be hanging out in GA having a blast.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I think Bono used to also say that Larry was the no-man. Maybe he still is but we don't hear about it.

It seems like it's almost Oasis Be Here Now era-esque.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Yeah and I mean, shit, at least those guys sort of rocked enough to cover up the catastrophic fall in quality.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I won't lie, I think it'd be kind of fun if Edge decided to have 20 guitar tracks layered over the top of each other in a song.
