If u think Bono is a pompus ass then watch some interviews with Sting or Prince if you want to see the real deal, love those 2 but they are kings of asses.

Somehow i knew Sting would be brought into this lol



and to... somewhat defend Sting. Sting at least admits back in the day he was a pompus egotystical ass. Bono can't come to terms neutral

[Edited 3/12/12 15:20pm]


He may admit it but he still practices it, in either case at least they back up the talk with work, Bono doesn't preach about activism from his living room he walks the talk, others just preach and do nothing.

For one thing.... Bono can not sing for shit

disbelief

two, their music is very boring and uncreative. Seriously alot of the things they are labeled as being the first to do alot of other bands have done it better ex. Pink Floyd.

The musicianship is nothing to be desire... just horrible horrible live and their just overrated because their a white band that does alot of charity work in Africa well I shouldnt say band because BONO does most of the charity work and that is to be commended. ... I mean kudos to Bono but seriously I dont see why that should make their MUSIC important or MORE important than what it is because of the kind of influence or what Bono chooses to do in his personal life..

Three.. Ive never thought of U2 as a REAL Band just mostly Bono and company besides a few acknowledges from The edge who plays the same tired riffs in every song

There are MUCH MUCH MUCH better bands that are more deserving of the accolades they receive which primarily is dued to their longevity and charity work not so much the quality of their music. If you really put all theyve done in perspective... it really hasnt been nothing innovative and their not really influential contrary to popular opinion.

Thats just my 2 dollars and some change...lol

Well there's alot in that statement, I disagree that Bono can't sing, and that the members are irrelevant, I mean people say that about Queen and if took Brian or Roger or John out of Queen Freddie Mercury and the band never would have had any success. I draw the comparison cause outside of Queen and Bon Jovi there really isn't a band that can go everywhere with their tours and catalogs and play the same size plays in every country, granted there are lots of bands that can play anywhere, but the size of their audience varies place to place. As for the importance of the music, not all of U2's work is held up like that, I'm not sure where people got that from, but some took on bigger meanings because it's universal in message, ONE and Beautiful Day and some others appeal worldwide just the way We Will Rock You and We are the Champions did for Queen. Freddie mercury just wasn't political in his daily life and Bono is.

I always love last he always comes with the goods lol

I guess I agree with that I never looked at it that way. I dont listen to a whole lot of U2 so it would be interesting to see what the other members add to the group. I never implied they were irrelevant. It just seemed to me they didnt play a role and Bono got most of the attention. With Queen I know Freddie mostly singed but I also know the other members played roles in the music composition and they added special things to songs... I dont see it that much with U2..

Let me also finish with saying I dont hate U2... I understand why some of their songs have appeal. I just dont think their deserving of some of the accolades they get though... And Bono is not a good singer AT ALL... very average... His like the male version of Alicia Keys. Very average voice and depending on the song and how well he bursts emotion it can be overlooked.

Well I guess if you want to compare the two, U2 had covered more political themes that Queen but that doesnt necessarily make them better. Queen had alot of depth in their music as well also their share of pop songs the same with U2... a very popular song of theres such as Bohemian Rhapsody sticks out like a soar thumb and to me is much better than ANYTHING U2 has ever done.

A little off topic, but did you see that we are the world interview?

There like talking to Freddie, Bono & George Michael. And freddie/George are laughing and jokng around, and Boni gives this look like... you bitch trying to upstage me? i'm gonna be bigger then both yall assess you betta run to iceland and sell some pussy.

I swaer that is what he is thinking lol

Yes! Bono gets the most attention, like singers and frontmen usually do and that is heightened due to his activism. But they are still a band. All of them bring their shit to the table when it comes to making music, so to say that only Bono counts is totally misinformed. Also how you say that their music is boring when you "dont listen to a whole lot of U2 " is misinformed.

As for his singing... it is just fine for what they do! Check out a U2 concert. As for stand out songs... they got plenty of great songs.

Coldplay is like a poor man's U2. Plus Bono was something of a sex symbol - even if his ass was trying to be Jim Morrison. lol
