Glastonbury performance disappointing because of Bono's shoes?

So is Benji2112 a real doctor then?

Um no, he was a fraud. It was obvious.

 

[U2387]

Whatever happened to Benji???

LOL, I'm still banned from FYM for telling him off!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Naw, Vertigo is one of the songs Bono actually remembers. Now what's his excuse for TUF?

If you eliminate entire verses in the bridge, is it really forgetting?

 

[corianderstem]

So is Benji2112 a real doctor then?

Oh wow, I'd forgotten all about that.

Which was actually kind of nice.

 

[last unicorn]

^ Yeah, those were really dark times here on the forums

 

[Galeongirl]

i'm sorry. I just have a phobia over surgery. That's why I prefer to call it a medical procedure and it's not a hospital but a health clinic

Lol. BUt a health clinic is a different thing from a hospital. Different licenses and all.


And Major surgery = surgery that is hard on the body, with a realistic risc of complications, but which must be done in order to save the patient.
Minor surgery = everything else that isn't life threatening, either before or during surgery.

So having a spinal surgery in order to save you from being in a wheelchair for the rest of your life = major surgery.

Time is not a measure for this. Really.


And p.s.: Benji was an idiot who had no clue about medical stuff. He just talked out of his arse.

Florence welsh out of Florence and the machine is also saying that bono told her that everything that could of gone wrong went wrong. He even ripped his trousers/pants

So Bono seems to have well and truly convinced himself that it was a bad performance then.

 

[Cactus Annie]

That confirms it. It was minor surgery then because it wasn't life threatening! There wouldn't have any complications because this doctor was genuine, as was all his colleagues. I forget who it was, but someone told me that the procedure was very easy and almost routine because it's performed 100's of times every day. If something makes no sense to me then it's not true. That's the way I live my life. Bono waited to have a medical procedure. If it was major and life threatening then he surely would have done it sooner instead of waiting and waiting.

It must have been a health clinic, else he would have booked himself out of it double quick. The health facilities in Germany are more like luxury hotels, or so what I've been told. Bono would never step foot in a hospital. I'd rather go to prison.

My mum has to visit the eye specialist once a year so that they can check on her cataracts. They are small right now which means if they performed surgery it would do nothing to help her but would most likely damage the delicate eye. Besides the cataracts are so small that it's not even affecting her sight. My question is, when surgery to remove cataracts needs to be performed in order to save someone's sight, is this considered major surgery even though it is routine, easy and relatively quick?

What about surgery to remove a mole in someone whose family history points to skin cancer. Is this surgery considered major because it may save their life even if they have no sign of cancer and don't need any further cancer treatment?

Benji sounded like a doctor to me.

These all make you sound like a fairly reasonable young girl.

^ Thank you

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I hope bono's feet are okay

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Wow

 

[Utoo]

Alright, when's the plug going to be pulled on this trolling?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

If they don't actually know they are being a troll, are they a troll?

 

[bono_212]

Oh they know they're trolling, but I for one, hope the good times never end.

 

[sunnysideoflove]

I loved it, the set list was hot!!! They nailed it, the rain was against them, but they proved they are easily the best band on the planet, with that set list, who could fault them? no one!!

Shit. This is probably a big reason for the funk Bono's been in (as of TIFF screening and other public appearances in the following weeks)

i doubt it x

Everybody, including U2, places WAY too much importance on Glastonbury. I thought their Glasto performance was pretty good, but 2 days later they played the best show I've ever seen them do in East Lansing. Glastonbury was one gig, and while it might not have been their best, they certainly performed well. He's just giving an excuse, like how they said POP was "unfinished", but only after everyone started hating it. U2 seems to have a very difficult time in the UK. Critics and the general public really seem to hate U2 there, and were probably orgasming at the possibility that U2 might not deliver the greatest performance anybody ever saw anybody do.

Also, regarding Terry. U2 have had additional musicians under the stage since the 80s, in some capacity. Des Broadberry did what Terry does now during Zoo TV and Popmart. I personally like the fact that it's still just the 4 of them onstage, the same way it's been since 1978 when Dick quit. I'm sure Terry doesn't mind, as he probably makes a very handsome paycheck to sit under the stage and play keyboards. During the Rosebowl dvd he did get a 30 second shot on the screen, however, with Bono awknowledging him and everything!

Terry plays under the stage because he wants to. They wanted him up top during 360 but he wasn't comfortable with it. I wish he was on stage because having so much music come from under the stage or as a prerecorded track adds an element of karaoke to the show. Plenty of bands have other people on stage with them.

People do attach too much importance to Glastonbury, but it's the biggest show in the UK and there's a lot of mythology attached to the site (rock and otherwise), and there have been some absolutely incredible moments. Pulp, Radiohead, Blur, Primal Scream, the Verve (among others) all created transcendant moments, and people expected U2 to do the same. They're not exactly at the top of their game though, and the set was pretty weak. It was one of the weaker U2 performances I've seen. Not bad, just not what people expect of U2. Knowing what they are capable of raised expectations and it was unlikely U2 could live up to them. No-one could. I think it's absurd to say that people wanted U2 to put on a bad show (though U2, with their less than universal appeal in England, were a shit choice to headline).

Didn't Primal Scream play opposite U2 this year? They were great; the rain didn't seem to bug them.

U2 make too many excuses, and usually for things that don't need them. Sometimes a gig isn't good, or an album isn't what it could have been, but that's the way it goes. Just accept it and move on. These guys would be the worst pitchers. They'd kill themselves.

It's not absurd. There has been plenty of anti-U2 sentiments going on when the original Glastonbury headline act was annonced and it continued to go on when U2 actually played the festival two years later. I think that's one of the things that bugs many fans, because they feel U2 could have done better and convinced the critics, but as far as I remember they got a lot of good feedback and reviews, it's the band themselves that's over-critical. It may be annoying to some, but it's their way to move on from something that, in their opinion, just didn't work out the way it was supposed to be. It's better that way than to hear them being in denial all the time, leaning back and bragging about a show that wasn't well received by the majority of people.

Dear lord, I don't even know how to respond to this.


If you can't understand simple facts, there's no way to make you come back to reality I guess.

 

[cobl04]

I wonder if Benji knows Ol' Whiskey...

 

[BVS]

Benji was consuming whiskey while typing most of his posts, does that count?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

What year was the whiskey?

Up to this day, I don't believe Bono's injury with all its specifications and details to be a 100% truthful.

I think we feel the same about your posts.
