    News reports suggesting U2 may put the music on hold for a while. Anyone heard similar? I know Bono has hinted at spending more time with his younger kids. At the moment he's in Paris checking in on Carla Bruni and the new baby.

    Yeah he keeps getting better and better. Anyone googled ''Bono'' and ''Carla Bruni''?

    Can we merge this with the "news that's not really news" thread?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    So Bono has a hernia?

    U2 need all the kerchings they can get. All those kids need shoes and clothes.

    I'm fairly sure that U2 stopped making music years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Load of nonsense.
    Also, in before Degsy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    U2 are a great band, I have always liked their music.

    With themselves and Westlife gone my life will be a little emptier.

    oh wait... that was someone else wasn't it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭St.Spodo


    They've been arouns since the 70's and peaked about 25 years ago. They'd do right to call it a day.

    How will Dave Fanning bore the face off anyone who will listen now?

    God, he's so annoying (and knows Bono)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,369 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    I think Bono should go solo and spend as much time in a recording studio as he possibly can, 24/7 for the rest of his life would be good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 662 ✭✭✭fran oconnor


    I hope they split up, they suck balls as a band.

    A mole, digging in a hole
    Digging up my soul
    Now going down, excavation
    I and I in the sky
    You make me feel like I can fly
    So high, elevation

    ;_;

    I hate U2 anyway so I have just one thing to say:

    FUCK YOU BONO

    That is all.

    Face like a melted brick of lego.

    I'm fairly indifferent to U2 as a band, they have some cracking songs and some godawful ones, and lots and lots of ones that sound identical, I'll let Bill Bailey explain:

    Not a fan by any means, but I can definitely appreciate their older material. Wouldn't be bothered by them finishing up tho.
