'u2 have sold out' .....this one is muttered after every album

'u2 will break up after this tour'.....this is after every tour

'its been downhill since the Joshua Tree'.....yeah right whatever

'Bono's trying to save the world again'.....I have some sympathy with this one but thats another thread

'Edge always sounds the same'.....yeah but hes fuckin ace with it

'Pop was a failure'.....most groups would LOVE to sell that many albums and have a 'failure' on their hands

'saint Bono'.....well he is saving the world

'bonio'..... very witty


Feel free to add your own...theres hundreds of them
 
How about a lyrical cliche?

'I'm down on my knees' has been used,,,,oh about 50000000 times in U2 songs.

The next U2 album gets an automatic A+ if that line is avoided for the entire album.

I know the whole kneel/ knees thing has been used a lot recently, but honestly the actual line "I'm down on my knees" has only been used once, if I'm not mistaken.

That's why I paraphrased the line instead of quoting it.

Don't forget the non-sensical falsetto notes that don't even resemble words.

oooOOOO-HOO-HOO-HOOOOOoo
 
"U2, aren't they like 50 or something?" - sadly that will be true in a few years :uhoh:

"Oh you went to a concert, did they play that iPod song?" - :|

"Sunday Bloody Sunday is just a rip off of Ozzy'z Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, they stole the title." - My friend actually said this to me

*my favorite* "Eww, U2 I can't believe you listen to them, they suck now!" :goes back to listening to some rapper sing "I shot my grandma, that bitch was old!":

Is he not aware that it was a historical event?
 
Pronouncing it "Bo-no" instead of "Bon-o"

The next record is going to be rock and roll from Venus or whatever other planet/star Bono comes up with this time
 
^^^agreed

'U2 is old and overrated' almost killed a friend for saying that

'bono cant sing' almost killed another friend for saying that

i could go on...
 
Let's see,

Isnt' Bono dead? (in reference to Sonny)
So, how's Bo-no?
Bono is way too old for you to be listening to...

An on and on

Well, that's his own fault isn't it? Bono himself is the one pronouncing it incorrectly, as the Latin word is indeed pronounced as bo-no. Sonny Bono ("the other Bono") actually pronounces it correctly.

Can't blame people pronouncing it that way.
