A judge has ordered a U2 fan's entire music collection to be destroyed.

Karl Wiosna, 44, of Graig, South Wales, played the Irish rockers at such a high volume that his neighbours complained to the police, reports The Sun.

After he admitted breaching the peace at Pontypridd court, a judge ordered Wiosna's entire collection of CDs, tapes, records and audio equipment to be destroyed.

Speaking of the case, one neighbour said: "The noise was unbearable. It was like a drag queen's party."

Wiosna is also reported to have repeatedly played Cher's 1998 hit 'Believe' at full volume, prompting complaints.

If I was his lawyer I would have appealed based on insanity, I mean he was a Cher fan...

 

[AtomicBono]

well it seems like they could have just taken the CDs away...bit of a waste to destroy them isn't it?

 

[Axver]

So, own up, who here is Karl Wiosna?

 

[kingofsorrow]

somebody needs to throw that judge in jail.

 

[pepokiss]

So.. I have to guess that Drag Queen's parties are loud?


the funny thing is, after that part, we learn that he listened to Cher too....

coincidence?

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah, that just doesn't seem right.

Cher? I can understand that.

But how sad, paying for everything to have it destroyed.

It was probably personal vendetta against U2. The judge must have been some hardcore War-era fan who's been enraged ever since U2 "sold out" with Unforgettable Fire and vowed revenge ever since.

Or they heard about the album leaking through the Daily Telegraph, listened to the new beach clips, hoping it was the new album and thought "...fuck is this?"

Destroying the CDs isn't enough punishment. He should be forced to listen to them/
