Embarrassing Former Opinions

[Oregoropa]

- I once thought "Original of the Species" should be considered as a nominee for Record of the Year at the Grammies

- I used to think Zooropa and Lemon were boring songs worth skipping over

- At first I loved the lyrics to Stand Up Comedy because they were so darn clever

Stand Up Comedy was my favourite song on NLOTH after the first few listens.

I can't say my opinions about U2 have ever really changed.

Well, when I was 13 in 1989, I thought they were dinosaurs, old, and ready for retirement.

But the stuff I liked at 13 I still like now.

I admire your bravery in admitting this.



I also worry what was possessing you at that time.

I'd like to quietly boast the opposite of embarrassing former opinions: I knew HTDAAB was a stinker within days. It was the production in part, but that was just the beginning of the pain.

That said, I have plenty of embarrassing former opinions about other things, best left in the vault.

I was 14 years old at the time. I think that's fairly self-explanatory!

"Wow, 'Get On Your Boots' is probably the freshest U2 has sounded since Achtung Baby!"

Those are blackmail worthy statements in there. The humor doesn't know when to quit.

I once made a statement that Bomb was the lost companion and rightful follow-up to Achtung Baby

I loved Stand Up Comedy on the first listen.

Then I listened to the lyrics.

 

[YBORCITY]

I hated Boots...

than listened to the lyrics

 

[Jarvio]

That "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" is the single best U2 song. And I still hold this belief.

Is this embarrassing though?

Nope. I had a friend who absolutely loved that song and had it on his 90s mix tape

I didn't like With or Without You for a few listens.

So would it be considered embarassing when I admit I still like Stand Up Comedy? Because I'm not really the person to get embarrassad about that sort of thing..

 

[bobsaget77]

I used to think that Miracle Drug, Original of the Species, and Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own were some of their best songs.
Then I finally heard Zooropa and everything changed.

I used to think Roger Taylor was the best-looking member of Duran Duran.







Oh, you meant U2 opinions. Carry on.

 

[BVS]

I use to think Bono had dreamy hair...

At the height of my fandom at age 16 I used to imagine the guys were tall.

I used to think Original Soundtrack 1 was not U2 album

 

[kabigon]

I used to think that I wouldn't ever need to listen to any music other than U2.

 

[mikal]

I used to think Larry was Chris Mullen's brother.

Larry's bro didn't teach the band any skills:

I have no recollection of this but apparently, after my parents put the "live in Boston" dvd in the dvd player for the gazzilion'd time back in 2002 I told them "For fucks sake mom not U2 AGAIN, they drive me nuts"


"That dude always wears a beanie... why? So Awkward, just admit you are bald ,and that Bono dude, so whingey."

I actually thought of that up until 5 or 6 years ago

I think one of the most shocking moments of my life was the first time I saw Bono off a stage, up close and personal. You hold this guy up as larger than life, and then you're standing next to him looking down.

In your case, looking far down.

Its a combination of the physical stage an the larger than life persona. You see him and other rock stars on stage, they are elevated, and of course just the whole big persona thing.

Yeah, that was pretty nuts.. suddenly, he's so tiny.

 

[Mack_Again]

well I should be prepared for a surprise when I see AC/DC members offstage, then?
