Of course, U2 has also been going for about three times as long as the Beatles were together

Yahweh said:It is much harder to reinvent the wheel when youve done as many albums as U2 have done....The Beatles themselves only had 2 real distinct periods.
Sleep Over Jack said:U2 aren't The Beatles, they aren't going to constantly come up with fresh sounds every time.
UnforgettableLemon said:I want U2 to sound like a cross between Cher, Nine Inch Nails, Hank Williams Jr, and Tchaikovsky

But the Beatles never did that either. They always sounded like the Beatles. I am one of the oldest people here at Interference; I actually saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, and my spouse actually saw them live (we still have the ticket stub). I loved the Beatles, but they had a huge amount of crap and filler on their albums, even the later ones. But the myth is so large that other bands can never "beat" them. But I honestly believe that U2 have surpassed them many times over. They just will never get the credit for it, ever. We will never again see a time when three quarters of the North American population will watch a single TV performance. It's all too fractured now, so no band will ever have that kind of extraordinary impact ever again. I was there, I remember the excitement, but the music was only a part of it. The mood and the time and the place were more impartant than you could imagine, if you hadn't been there!
After listening to the Salome demos, all of Edge's Achtung, Baby riffs sort of blend together.UnforgettableLemon said:Even certain 90s songs sound like old-school Edge to me; Ultraviolet, elements of Until the End of the World, and especially If God Will Send His Angels
100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can Be Wrong?Sleep Over Jack said:Well I don't think longevity means much, look at Bon Jovi, Status Quo, for instance.

...but interesting to read different opinions all the same!achtung y'all said:Fucking hell, these constant negative threads are boring...

and I'll even concede you couldn't have Achtung Baby without Ultra Violet.

My point exactly, U2 are becoming like Bon Jovi.
