The typical U2 hater and what they say to justify why they HATE U2 or their new album. Yes, I am a U2 fan, so I am biased but the reasoning for their hatred is so damn frustrating. Here we go:
Bono- "Huge Ego", “thinks he is so great”, "Pals around with Bush and Blair", "Preaching all the time", "wants us to give money to causes but wont pay taxes in Ireland", "needs to stick to making music instead of trying to save the world"(well, sure, why would you want someone to try and make the world a better place?).
U2-"Too old", "just releasing albums to tour", "just releasing best of's to make money (ever see the Beatles or Rolling Stones Catalog? and who the hell is in any business not to make money??).
U2 Songs- "This song is them trying to sound too young", "this song is U2 by the numbers", "this song sounds like Pump it up", "they ripped off Echo and the Bunnymen” (yea, this one always makes me laugh).
So, they can't write a song that sounds like them (U2) and they can’t write a song that might sound (is just sung really not even close with the melody) like another song (Boots-Pump it Up). They can't write a song like Vertigo/Elevation because they sound like they are trying to be too young and if they manage to write a song that isn't U2 by the numbers or a 0.0001% rip-off of another song (in their opinion) and it doesn't sound too young then guess what...it doesn't matter because Echo and the Mother fuckin Bunnymen were better and U2 stole everything from them.
Okay, I think I summed up some frustration.... feel free to add to my “Typical U2 Hater List”.
