He's criticised our National Icon

[LemonMelon]

Saying that rock music had its heyday in the late '60s to early '70s is not a jab at U2.

 

[zwervers2]

I'm more upset about what Larry said about the Killers.

what did he say?

U2 is my favorite band again. Not only did I have better things to do than to listen to the beachclips but now Edge is slamming Andrew Loyd webber. And I just got a bottle of Barolo '2001 from a friend. And to think the night has just begun. can it get any beter? That depedns on what Larry said I guess

Let's not forget the dig Crowded House take in Chocolate Cake either:

Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
But it went by me sickly and sentimental

I'll have another piece of chocolate cake while Annie weeps.

damn, i was going to post this. oh well.

He didnt even mention The Lord. However his comments are obviously ridiculous as there have been many many superb musicals in the last few decades, over here in the West End and on Broadway. He wasn't even alive to see any in the years he was talking about, so how can he really give a fair comment? Perhaps he's just been seeing the wrong musicals

buying a midlife-crisis boat must have clouded his judgement

 

[BoMac]

Back on topic, I think the OP is overreacting.

Shocking.

 

[BVS]

Edge can sometimes be a real cunt. His comments about the Seattle music scene in U2 by U2 are unforgivable. I'm not surprised somebody took this musical statement the similar way.

I'm hoping this is a joke... if not it's just sad.

 

[MooMoo!]

he did start with by saying he wasnt making a dig at anyone.

I think in some respect he is right: musicals were more popular back in those days. But obviously, decent stuff has been made since.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Not sure how he could upset you given he never even mentioned Webber...

but I do know that the Phantom uses autotune.

FTW!
oh noezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz not autotune!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Confirmed Rumor: Edge hates Andrew Lloyd Webber

 

[redhotswami]

It sucks to be Edge

This never get old for you does it?

Reading an airport novelette, listening to Andrew Lloyd-Webber's "Requiem"
He said, before it had really begun, "I prefer the one about my son"
"I've been wading through all this unbelievable
junk and wondering if I should have given
the world to the monkeys"

That being said, "Pie Jesu" from his Requiem is one of those timeless melodies I mentioned earlier. Gorgeous.

 

[zwervers2]

This never get old for you does it?

Not at all
The best thing about it is that you can use it in almost every discussion on interference. And I just like the sound of "midlifecrisis boat" for some strange reason

 

[pepokiss]

I only know Andrew Lloyd Webber's name because of the sitcome THE NANNY

besides that, I don't think that many people have heard of him that don't know what CATS is...



Edge >>>>>>>>>>>> ALW >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bono

 

[Aardvark747]

Phantom will always piss all over Spiderman. Period.

 

[corianderstem]

Now there's a visual for you.

 

[Aardvark747]

indeed...

 

[TheQuiet1]

Ahhh the genius of Lord Lloyd Webber, the man who needs a crappy TV talent contest to find the west ends next " big star "

Don't forget about that Hollyoaks publicity stunt either.

 

[Aardvark747]

Don't forget about that Hollyoaks publicity stunt either.

Ah, now that was pretty dire.

 

[gareth brown]

is there any point to this thread? Please say it's a joke. I'm HOPING it's a joke!

 

[ahittle]

Brilliant satire.

I didn't like the song until I read these lyrics.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I didn't like the song until I read these lyrics.

the song's awesome. the lyrics are awesome. it's win/win.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I always kind of liked it, but I just thought it was kind of dumb to write a song about cake, however good cake may be at times.

Will listen again!
