U2 will have the last laugh...

irony.

 

[gherman]

Ok, I am going to chip in briefly for the first and last time in this kind of thread

Thank God

 

[gherman]

I want to say to the original poster that I really enjoyed reading your post, especially because you are taking on a position that is unpopular here, and the bitter responses are predictable. I like your positive way of seeing things. But some people live in the past so much I feel sorry for them.

Me to... I loved your post.

to the original poster.. you are one brave soul for posting that in here..

"There's no fighting in the war room!"

 

[notiti]

The fact is that U2 is still together, still writing great stuff, still putting on amazing shows, and still doing great things!

Oh I just can't help myself. But really? GREAT things?
"Freedom has a scent like the top of a newborn baby's head"

Great? Really?

Again, what is it you guys are all smoking? Because I got at least five on it.

 

[Axver]

Never mind I did a google. Dear oh dear Axver. Get a life. That is so sad.

Get a life? I'm the one who has a life by not bothering to read a longwinded post of dubious value.

Just out of curiosity, do you have children?

And yet you find the time to not only read and reply to one post in this thread, but two. (and I suspect you actually did read the original post, but have been just dying to use that oh-so-cool [but it really isn't, you know] tl;dr comment too)

Face it babe, you are every bit as much a dopey nerd as the rest of us.

Actually, theu2fly and I have a bit of a negative history, so I read the first few boring paragraphs, figured it had no hope of going anywhere, and gave up. I did, however, scroll through the thread because I was expecting a poorly constructed random setlist to come out of the blue somewhere.

But of course I'm a dopey nerd; why else would I be here?

Yaweh is the best example you can give of U2 still being great? Really?

 

[LMP]

At least it's spelled right.

Long live dopey nerds!

Just as long as you don't shun us and go and try to join some other group. After all soon dopey nerds are going to achieve world domination.

You don't have to have children.

It's almost the shittiest lyric ever recorded.

And I am a mother.

The personal attacks in this thread need to stop.

Debate your opinions without taking jabs at others, or dont say anything at all.

Right behind "Miami, my mammy" and "baby, baby, baby, light my way"

And I am a mother.

Just conducting my own little survey. Usually people who have children understand the sentiment in that line but there are always exceptions. That's not a put down to you either, I was really just curious. I am a mother too, but not an overly sentimental one and usually not one to react in a typically motherly fashion to things but that line struck me as really beautiful. I like to ask people who comment on that particular lyric whether or not they have kids to just kind of see if it's one of those parent type things.

The problem with all art is that it is subjective and just because I don't like it doesn't mean that everyone won't so something has to be really horribly awful for me to say it's bad. I'll just say I don't like it. There is a difference between stuff that is truly bad and stuff that is just not up my alley. But then again I never did get into the whole genre ideas when it comes to music. If someone asks what I like I really don't know how to answer that cause I like what I like and it really doesn't have anything to do with particular types of music at all. I guess that's what I get for watching everything from Lawrence Welk to Liberace to Grand Ole Opry to American Bandstand while I was growing up.

[No spoken words]

Do you like 11 O'Clock Tick Tock? Because if not....

Axvered.

 

[Mountain Dew Ma]

i fear no man of ax

i do enjoy 'their very first single' (in bono's words) 11 o clock tick tock

it is a good song

the rendition they did in chicago elevation makes me giggle how they messed up.


imo, it is a good song.

hot eats,

cool treats.

in relevance to this thread,

city is very streets esque in the fact that it is an epic song, imo.

one of u2's finest. better than mofo? maybe not. in terms of concert opening.

better than elevation and zoo station? yes.

as good as streets in that regard?

perhaps.

time will tell.

 

[Mountain Dew Ma]

as per

"freedom has a scent / / like the top of a new born baby's head"

lyric

it is not the worst u2 lyric. bono has used many worse than that.

is it his best? ,
no it is not.

is it his worst? ,
no it is not.


it is what it is: a lyric aimed to hit the nostril senses during a song giving thanks to medicine.

odd, but bono is an odd duck.
