It's not like we have to choose sides.
There are easily enough U2 fans to destroy the morale of both the Nickelback AND the Creed fanbases.
Creed has a fanbase?

As much as a admire Bono, the man can't STFU
What I personally don't understand is WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH THE THINGS HE IS SAYS?
I think its amusing that on other websites ie: Gawker and Jezebel, that were live blogging the show---many people did not realise that UV was an old song---they were like 'whats that crappy new song?' Fucking morons.

You know why people hate U2...because they hate Bono...

As I mentioned before, for the first time I actually wished he frickin would. He completely mangled the song by mumbling through the solo of MOS and that barely coherent crap at the end of Breathe wasn't much better. The only thing I could think of was maybe he was taking a self-depreciating stab at parodying himself - maybe he read the "snippets - enough is enough" thread! In that case, it was funny.
As if it wasn't already high enough, my respect and admiration for Edge went off the charts when I watched that. How he maintained his zen-like composure and didn't haul off and crack his guitar over someone's skull after MOS is amazing. Larry could have at least chucked his drumstick at Bono for good measure
I was interested enough to try and search for the now infamous bonoguese rap text and couldn't find anything, so I decided to get old skool and do it myself - fairly sure this is close to correct - for what it's worth of course -
"Coming down broadway, turning into midtown, thinking bout saturday going down on downtown, going down on downtown, first stop rockafella plaza, this heart can't go any faster, tonight I'm 49on 49th we got Saturday still to climb . . . and if we slip, let's enjoy the slide - - enjoy the slide - Saturday Night . . Live . . . Live . . Live . .
mumble mumble, this song might be short but it's the longest thing you'll ever do, whats worse than curse the dream came true, god is a mirror image which each man sees himself, hell is a place where you don't need anyone's health, when I first met you your face was like snow, wherever I went to you wanted to go, your face, your grace, your can of mace, in a case where you put your face down, "a17" on the ground, your faith in a cloud, don't leave me now, don't leave me now, don't leave now alone in this song, oohhh, don't leave me alone in this song, ooh, ooh, ah"
I thought ". . . . is a place where you don't need anyone's help" might make more sense, but he def says Health, he really sounds out the 'th' . . .
I also really enjoyed the rap segments he injected into MOS, I thought it added to the song, and didn't detract from the guitar solo. I wouldn't mind if he added that part to the song permanently.
I actually really liked the mumbling.
Well I've already noted that I couldn't disagree more and I hope it doesn't return. It's not even 'rap'.
Having said that, Edge doesn't solo alot and frankly when he does the last thing I want to hear is someone attempting a rap. At the start, the end, the bridge, anywhere else. Not during Edge's solos.
it's not rap... it's more of a poem.
Just re-watched MOS.
Epic. The fact that they played that song on SNL is gleos right there.
Wish they had taken Eno's advice and had it at lead single.
And I like the rap. Straight up.
It was haunting.
To each their own, I guess. I really liked it, and I generally don't like additions like that very much.
I have to aggressively criticize one thing or another every once in a blue moon...you know, just to keep the sheep label from sticking
