U2 singer Bono apologises after foul-mouthed insult of Coldplay's Chris Martin

Featured Replies

Coldplay will never release an album as widely accepted as the Joshua Tree.

Does anybody honestly think that in the year 2038 that people will view Viva as one of the greatest albums ever released? Me thinks not.

Wait, I'm confused. He was joking surely :thinking:

 

How can he have decided Chris is a wanker and a cretin after only a week ago he appeared with him on stage and called him a gifted songwriter...I don't get it.

 

I bet Chris and Bono have the same type of humor...

I don't find it funny cos it was unfair, unnecessary and uncalled-for. I think Bono was trying to play the big, nasty rock star act. It just made him look stupid. And I'm not a prude but it's not nice hearing that language on the radio in the middle of the afternoon - I'm glad my kids weren't around at the time!

 

btw me calling him a nob wasa joke, as indicated by the :P it's called irony..

 

People are honestly getting this worked up over a swear word? I suggest that you all go live in a cave and don't come out.

Maybe you should write that in the U2 fan page forum ...:P I do not presume to know what people will think of our current music 40 years from now and I am pretty sure no one could have predicted U2´s success either...I guess we shall wait and see

I find cretin more insulting that the W word to be honest...

When the Joshua Tree came out it was viewed as a masterpiece.

 

Viva has not been viewed as a masterpiece by anybody but obsessed Coldplay fans.

That w****r comment was totally uncalled for, jealously or not, it just shows how immature Bono is as a man of his age.....well, i dont find his joke to be funny at all either.

Funny that you seem to be getting all worked up that we are offended ...:confused: ...anyway we are Coldplay fans, we are gonna stick up for Chris...:smug:

parachutes and arobtth are better :P

 

anyway this discussion is funny, and a bit pointless... is like a football game between a 5 year old kid and a 18 year old guy

being a coldplay fan doesn't mean being a coldplay blind fan... coldplay is not the only good band in the world... I love them, they are great, but not perfect.

No I just find it hilarious how offended people are getting about the fact that their musically leader has been insulted by a legend.

You can't honestly be surprised that Coldplay fans on a Coldplay board are sticking up for Coldplay :P

 

Just let them be and be content in the knowledge that you are right ;)

Agreed, both those albums are miles ahead of the other two.

that was reallly mature :rolleyes:

U2 have twelve albums and Coldplay have four.

..doesn't make sense that he's jealous.

 

who cares what he says anyway? Not like his view on Chris is fact.

But he should have kept that to himself and not say it on the radio.

Why were they talking about Chris in the first place?

For some it does though, especially younger fans. Guess it's the same with any band though...hell there are people out there who believe The Jonas Brothers are really making ground breaking music. Takes all sorts :P

I can't listen to it in the US but I'm just sure Bono meant it as a joke...as in he is close enough proffesionally and personally to Chris to be completly kidding calling him a cretin, wanker, etc....Right?

I'm pretty sure.

I mean they were both on stage together last week at the WAR gig.

If Bono truly hates Chris would he go up on stage with him? Or recognize the new kids on the block are bands like Coldplay and the Killers?

Haha, I don't think anyone would dare do that Lore. :lol:

Haha, I don't think anyone would dare do that Lore. :lol:

 

Coldplay >>>>The Beatles. :P

 

 

I've never been a big Beatles fan. But it doesn't mean I don't like them. I recognize that they were crucial to rock today, and without them we wouldn't have U2, Coldplay, and umm Oasis.
