Official "Bitch about the stupid mask" thread

[thelaj]

So much for my plan of taking my gf's younger siblings to show them U2 isn't just for losers

 

[BEAL]

Yes, there is no defending this. Most of my friends may casually like U2's music, but think they're a bunch of ego manaics, or just plain old wankers. "This song is not a rebel song dude....."

Just as I get a few people to realize that U2 actually makes good music and isn't always focused on saving the world........

Tell me this day was just a bad dream and I have just woken up and nothing is wrong.

fucks sake get a grip.

 

[last unicorn]

They can't be serious

Whose idea was this?

I can already hear Bono shout: Now get out your masks.

Or, if we don't: Get out your f u c k i n g masks! Now!



I'm all for supporting Burma, but they can't honestly think people are really wearing these masks?

On the other hand: Will U2 stop playing Walk On if noone wears the mask?



Seriously, this will flop. Let's carry balloons instead.

 

[zwervers2]

and we still have the spiderman musical to look forward to.
oh and everything I said about yachts, musicals and middle of the road. I am never taking anything back again!

plays his old UF record and dreams of better times

 

[corcovadosong]

i cannot fucking believe this. all the fucking technology and money in the world, and this is what they want us to do?

fuck man. fuck. sorry for all the swearing, but this is ridiculous.

fucks sake get a grip.

i normally separate the music from bono's bullshit, but this is un-ignorable

 

[bram]

Damn, I don't know what's worse: the mask or taking up precious setlist time with Walk On.

 

[mikal]

lol. there is not one post supporting this.

you don't have to chose, you will get both

I think you didn't say "fuck" often enough.

Hey, why does everything have to be Bono's fault? For all we know, it could be Larry's idea.

Or the guys on U2.com were just bored and decided to do this themselves.

With the technology they're using at the show, I'm sure they will just project the masks onto our faces, no matter if we want to or not.

 

[corcovadosong]

this might be the most united i've ever seen interference.

 

[mikal]

i'm actually really pumped for Walk On....one of my favorite U2 songs of all time.


by the way people, don't completely overreact here and let it ruin your "pre-tour buzz". that's just idiotic. this sucks, but not THAT much.

 

[YBORCITY]

with all of the great songs they are practicing and the way the Set List is shaping up. I just knew they would have to do something lame, I was expecting a 20-30 minute speech on something from Bono (which I would take after seeing this) but this is taking lame into the stratosphere

W...T...F...

 

[chrissybaby]

what's the feeling on other message boards? surely NO fan is going to go for this?

For the first time ever I feel he just DOESN'T FUCKING GET IT.

He reckons we're a sophisticated fan base, well treat us like it...

Can we actually get them to take it down, quickly?!

 

[corcovadosong]

.

i should ease up on the swearing, but man, i can't wait to see what happens from this...


as in, i hope I never see these masks again.

Agree with both.

That's what I sometimes cannot understand about this forum: Intead of laughing something just off, people act as if their lives are depending on a U2 concert.

Seriously, if no one wears that stupid mask, they will drop this idea very soon, so let's just b-o-y-c-o-t it.

Yes! Rebellion against U2!!!

And I LOVE Walk On!

Well, you can actually chose between mask and 30 minutes speech.


Come on people, stop being so damn melodramatic. Life is serious enough.

Yeah, I like to hate on Walk On but I do like it. But I think what it had to offer as a great live track was mostly tied to a very specific point in time. Looks like there are a lot of great songs being brought back, so I won't complain. Yet.

I bet it was the Brainiac that picked GOYB as first single

 

[zwervers2]

Yes! Rebellion against U2!!!
!

please don't! They are experienced enough to know what works.

GIVE ME A BREAK

"Am I buggin' you, don't mean to bug ya...OK Edge put your mask on!"

I love this topic.


Just imagine they'll have Larry wear this mask.

I don't know what's funnier you taking me serious or you somehow (not surprisingly) defending this
