i'm talking about your comments about me being fake and two faced.

 

I was merely agreeing with you.:rolleyes:

You implied in the Bono thread that you thought I was two faced and fake. Why don't you PM me and tell you why you made that personal comment.

If I don't hear from you I'll assume you have no idea what you're talking about.

There are a several people on here who fit that description, and naming names would serve no purpose whatsoever. I have nothing more to say on the matter, and you can assume whatever you like, as it's nothing more than a "personal opinion", as you so put it.:smug:

this performance makes me shiver

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8Pnlhs7grQ]YouTube - Rare U2 Pride In The Name Of Love Live 1984[/ame]

^Well that was when U2 were making great anthems rather than forgettable tosh........................ ;)

Geez give them a break, will ya

^In the unlikely event they return with a new song as good as "Pride", I will.;)

I just find it very amusing that you started posting in this thread saying negative things about them after what bono said about chris but ok, be my guess and keep bashing U2 all you want :nice:

 

Have fun! :dance:

Im afraid I have to agree with mc_squared mate! First of all, we are not bashing U2 for any reason. And do you know what I find amusing? The fact that some people can come here and say “we don’t like viva la vida” or “coldplay this coldplay that”, but then if WE say anything negative about U2 and their new album, you guys start a huge argument over why we’ve slightly criticized them or their music!!! Personally I think it WAS a mistake that Bono called Chris a wanker on live radio, and even worse, on BBC2!! However, I still do acknowledge the fact that it was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek joke.

 

Now, me rating No Line on The Horizon 3 out of five had absolutely nothing to do with Bono’s comments, but rather personal taste in music; so don’t get me wrong, cuz im a huge U2 fan myself. So can everyone just stop criticizing Bono for what he said AND criticizing hardcore Coldplay fans including me for defending the boys!!! Go and have some Smirnoff Ice, it might help guys!!:wink::D

just got the album today and listening for the first time now... i like the first song!

I just got home with the CD. So far I am loving it! I have not heard a song yet I do not like.

 

Does anyone know where the pictures on the CD booklet were taken? It looks a bit like the Wailing Wall in Israel...

It doesn't surprise me.

After all his only posts in the hockey and football threads were insulting the athletes or teams.

Its the sea. Not sure which one. It was taken by a Japanese artist I do believe.

^ Oh I meant the inside sleeve.

Got the amazing new U2 album from iTunes today, but the pre-order perks were a dud. The two "exclusive" bonus tracks were the 2nd Version of NLOTH's title track (the GOYB B-side) and some crappy Crookers dance remix of GOYB. Didn't buy the Deluxe Edition though so I'm not sure if the silent film "Linear" was any good or not.

 

And can everyone just calm down about the wanker bullshit? It was a joke. Bono was obviously kidding (if he was serious, I would extremely doubt that Coldplay would put on Magnificent before they went onstage at today's Melbourne concert). :earmuffs:

ahh sorry. Don't have the physical copy yet. I'll pick it up this weekend.

i'm reallllyyyyy loving moment of surrender...

HOT! NEXT ALBUM: 'SONGS OF ASCENT'

March 03, 2009

posted by: m2 We haven't seen it in print ourselves, but according to "dland9393," a member of our forum, Bono tells Rolling Stone magazine that U2's next studio album will be called Songs Of Ascent, it'll be released in 2010, and that "Every Breaking Wave" will be the first single -- a "surging anthem." And here's a choice Bono quote about the next album:

 

"Songs Of Ascent will be quieter than No Line in many ways, it's that ghost album of hymns and Sufi singing. We're making a kind of heartbreaker, a meditative, reflexive piece of work, but not indulgent."

wait............what? is that for real?

so i've listened to it once through and the tracks that really stood out for me were the title track, moment of surrender, i'll go crazy if i don't go crazy tonite, cedars of lebanon

NLOTH has been out for a day and U2 already has set-in-stone plans for the next album? Are they really that insecure about how this latest experiemental outing goes over after their five-year gap between albums? Official word or not, I can't help but feel skepticism, and titles and dates will no doubt change constantly.

It doesn't surprise me.

I think you need to get over it. You're taking everything way too seriously.:dozey:

If someone criticizes your favourite band, football team or anything else you like, it isn't about you personally........................

Anyway, the overriding point is that it should be possible to criticize something without being attacked or mobbed.

That way everything would be much more chilled.;)

Very well put. Anyway, it isn't as if anyone's said U2 are "rubbish" or Bono is a "talentless tw*t" or anything like that.

Some people are way too sensitive if you ask me.:dozey:

The sad fact is that the memorable, anthemic U2 songs which propelled them to superstardom appear to have dried up, which is a great shame.

The new material might be well-produced, well-played, and have complex themes, but ultimately it pales in comparison to the classic material. End of.

ahh sorry. Don't have the physical copy yet. I'll pick it up this weekend.

 

 

That's OK.

 

It is a really great CD!
