Is it worth reading all the posts in the Sphere thread? I'm not sure I've got the energy anymore to scroll through five pages of pointless, circular debate. I assume it's all about Larry.

TLDR: they’re building one in the outback, too

 

[cobl04]

here's a summary of the other place over the last 36 hours.

• U2 are a legacy act because they're playing a show dedicated to old music, but aren't a legacy act because legacy acts are based on musical output, which is subjective, unless it isn't, because Radiohead.
• anyone who even considers going to Las Vegas to see one of these shows is a bootlicking, morally corrupt rube.

that's it.

Don't know about anyone else but my gut tells me if your sub is active, and not expiring in the next 30 days... don't renew it/fuck with your account other than making sure your address is up to date and your facebook is linked properly. Mine expires March 31.. not touching it till after the Vegas ticket madness lol

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yea mine is expiring on March 26. if the presale hasn't taken place by then we are truly fucked.

The whole legacy/Vegas thing that certain posters (especially your personal favorite) keep going on and on about is really ridiculous. Not sure why you continue to bother with them. It’s not worth it.

honestly my favorite guy in this whole outrage was the dude who is upset that U2 would dare play such a morally corrupt place like Las Vegas.

 

[DaveC]

i'm still laughing at the insistence that Adele is suddenly an uncool washed up irrelevant legacy act purely because she's doing shows in Vegas

I had the same thought and mine expires 3/1. Hope the presales happen in February.

It wouldn't be a U2 Super Bowl commercial if it didn't come with a momentum killing pause in the immediate aftermath.

When do we think Laz will post again? Today? Tomorrow? Next week?

As soon as someone posts something in Random Music about a band that already has a dedicated thread.

 

[iron yuppie]

I really don't think you can fault people for seeing a Vegas residency as a manifestation of U2's most garish impulses. But to take a few Vegas concerts as a personal affront is pretty stupid IMO.

reasonable takes, on either side of the coin, are not welcome here.

you're either on board or you're a bootlicking rube.

Bootlicking Morally Corrupt Rube was the presale level I was assigned

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

<--- me too

 

[Hewson]

Dammit. I only got the $5 buffet coupon eligible rube category.

 

[DaveC]

but if you sign up for a Morally Corrupt Casino Club Card, you get $25 in free chips!

Spoiler

(DISCLAIMER: bono may have already eaten all the free chips)

Fair, but what I do not understand is how people would rather have them release shit new music over this. I will take this residency over a new record promoted by three truly terrible singles that are the only songs that get played live eight days a week.
