Wait, I was out of the room what did he say? I heard him say "Wow, I just got an award from a Beatle", which is pretty damn amazing.

He then said "Did that ever happen to you, Kanye?"

U2 stole from country music?

I'm afraid so. This is the new direction Lanios and Eno are pushing the band.

This year's show is putting me to sleep, as usual. I think I hate too many people to truly enjoy this show. Fergie that skank again?! Corporate whores like Foo Fighters beating Bruce and Wilco? Sure, we'll do your cell phone promo guest amateur musician outside stage thing. What do we get out of it? Oh, okay. And John Paul Jones will be there to further tarnish his reputation by orchestrating some random bullshit that will be drowned out by our unoriginal RAWK?

Jason Bateman's irreverent announcing was more punk rock than their performance. What a fucking joke.

Damn, So I guess the trip-hop meets house music idea is off the table.

I'm really surprised you like a band as corporate whorish as U2. lol

I could see it coming after that Temple Bar mix of Vertigo. It was obvious country would be the direction they were taking.

Herbie Hancock

 

[U2isthebest]

Honestly, there is nothing more annoying than a band who lets people know how non-mainstream they are by dragging around saying "We're artists. We won't sell out for corporations. We'll stay here with our 12 fans and change the world with our music."

U2, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, The Beatles The Rolling Stones, The Who, Radiohead, REM, Nirvana, and many other artists/bands....have all had major mainstream success and worked with corporations in one way or another without selling out. That's why they're legends. They could be popular and still maintain their integrity.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Bono's shades]

Herbie's got more talent in his pinky finger than most of tonight's performers will have in their entire lives.

 

[Diane L]

Rhapsody in Blue is my favorite piece of music ever.

Really!!!

 

[Zoots]

By the way, that zzzzzzzzzz was for the performance (just not my style) and not Brittany's post.

 

[pepokiss]

I could picture Tom & Jerry kicking their asses

 

[Bono's shades]

Really!!!

I know where you are coming from. It never fails to give me goosebumps.

 

[sniggirb]

nice rihanna laugh haha...little squeker

 

[U2isthebest]

That piece of shit "Umbrella" won over "Good Life"?

Taylor Swift looks like a prissy little prom queen, watching Rihanna making her acceptance speech.

I figured that. My posts usually tend to generate so much buzz.

I called it on the first page. Taylor's Swift's dress...Miss America '85'. She's such a pretty girl too, but that outdated dress and make-up just aren't working.

what's this about u2 stealing from country?

the guy presenting the award for Country Album (or whatever it was, but it was Country) said that there's a famous quote from a Country person, that "Country music is all about 3 chords and the truth"


so... U2 not only stole from Charles Manson, but from Country music as well



EXTRA:
Next U2 Album called "Edgegrass"
Big World Tour with Bon Jovi

 

[Canadiens1131]

Goddamn, the Foo Fighters are so......average

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

AMY IS ON NOW!
