All this business about U2 annoys me, personally I think they're shíte, but if people want to go and see them off you go, just leave us non-believers alone yiz useless pricks

And some idiot in today's paper willing to pay €11,000 fine a pair of tickets to see them

Are they harassing you or something?

colm_mcm

You've got to get yourself together.

Birneybau

No, nobody.

Ol' Donie

They don't really do it for me, but a lot of people really dig them, so best of luck to the lot of them.

They're miles better than, say, anyone else who's played Croker or The Aviva this year.

And while he may be a bit preachy, Bono's work for the third world is exceptional.

All in all, one of BB King's better backing bands.

Joshua Tree is a great album. I'd love to go but not a crazy fan enough to have been keeping track of when tickets were going on sale.

Samaris

All a bit of an (electrical) storm in a teacup.

I've always thought they were alright. Quite like this one ...

TIL people still find puns amusing.

Haven't liked anything by them since Pop.

It's amazing what people will start a thread about these days.

Think there are some on ticketbastard now if you're quick!

When did u2 become compulsory? I didn't get the memo. I deal with the bands I don't like by the time-honoured, tried and tested method of, well, just not listening to them.

Off the top of my head I can think of at leat five or six bands I'm not into that I'm just not listening to now as I type this.

Don't talk to me about u2!

Am sitting here in a panic the last few hours.

I got tickets and went to print them tonight, only to discover that I selected mail delivery. Booked on my sister's card and called her to be told she didn't receive any tickets.

I called out her address and I got the wrong poxy number of her house. So she calls to the neighbours on the road who received the tickets in January but didn't recognise the name and so sent the tickets back to ticketmaster.

Customer service closed so will have to try in the morning to sort the situation. Gutted.

Remember seeing the edge wear his hat to a funeral. What a glorious man

Great to see half the ticket sales going towards reducing third world debt.

Jaysus you're a mad bastard altogether. I mean I'm only not listening to two or three bands I'm not into. The other several hundred are playing simultaneously on my laptop as I'm typing this.

U2 haven't been any good for years. They are living off a very out of date reputation - Though in later years their acoustic only stuff was nearly half decent.

Ha, think I'll do the same.

Might start with Angel of Harlem.

Ken Tucky

Yes no yes...the bits in the middle were great but you would have to be a fan to love the earlier stuff. Some great songs mind!! The new stuff is frankly just sh*te

Autochange

Bono is a self righteous ahole. Music is crap. and they are old.

I think Pop and Zooropa are great albums aswell. Of course,Not a patch on Achtung Baby, but still fantastic albums nonetheless

Call Me Jimmy

Did they right that one 'and i stiiiilll havent found what i'm looking for' by U2?

Pinch Flat

I've flicked on the Joshua Tree tonight for a spin the craic. It's on a record, for those who don't know these were vinyl circle things that you put on a thing called a record player. They were popular before things called compact discs. All of this of course happened years before Spotify - it wasn't around since 1987.

I thought the consensus was that U2 are ****e?

Personally, I really like them up to and including Pop. Everything after that was so universally dreadful that I wonder if the whole band contracted brain slugs or similar.

I think he/she is saying that Bono is a millonaire who, instead of sitting in his swimming pool drinking cocktails tries to help people who have no food or education in impovorished counties around the world.

Something like that. Sings aswell.
