you know i was wondering if there would have been as much hatred for U2 had they broken up after the release of their third album "War". as it was during the tour in the support of the album that ego started to emerge. Bono went from being just another singer in a rock and roll band with a some what unique sound to them, to become a lead singer ready to solve all the problems of the world. up until then they had two solid record with a number of great singles, with a medium sized but not completely rabid fanbase. all that change despecially with the arrival of "Joshua Tree". Which IMHO was just another collection of good songs and was in no way life changing. The rest is history including those wack sunglasses…

That Bono South Park episode might be the best one ever.

I'd say you'd be correct in your assumption. When I saw them during that tour @ UM's Ritchie Coliseum he was just just a damn fine front man to a fantastic band with a great bunch of songs. Once they garnered attention from the subsequent singles and then Joshua Tree I'd say is where he jumped the shark. It's a shame really. I found him quite entertaining all the way up in the top of the bleachers waving his Irish flag, all by himself and lovin it. The man had serious passion " for his music" at that point. Meetings with world leaders not even a consideration.

I held my tongue with that one myself. I considered posting "whatcha talkin bout Willis" then I just figured different strokes. They're not for the masses.

Personally, It would'nt have been the same had I not had those 2 crazed geniuses to turn to in my youth. They gave me years of musical pleasure growing up and still do, as well as some street smarts.

i think phil gramm was referring to his son's band aden … serious whiners

bjork - she just bugs. i'm not convinced she has any real talent.

and this will probably assure me a permanent spot on thedirector's shit-list, but: the rolling stones. an interesting take on blues-rock… in the 1960's. FOURTY years later, not so much. (incoming hate via text msg in four, three, two…)

most of their recorded work doesn't suck, but furthermore they get a pass b/c of what i've seen them do on stage recently. here, to appease thedirector: i've never seen the rolling stoned perform, maybe i'll change my mind once i see mick sashay across the stage in that ultra-hetero manner of his.

The band isn't bad, but the levels to which their sycophantic fans insert their collective tongue up the band's collective butt is just crazy.

glad to see i'm not the only one with ADD here. topic is bands that suck, not bands who have fans that suck. by your own admission, the band is OK (aka doesn't suck).

If I hear one more person ejaculate about Daft Punk and their pyramid ("ooooooh, that stage prop is totally blowing my mind"), I'm going to drop dead, resurrect, and drop dead again.

again, not the band or even the stage prop itself - it's the fans going on and on about it. i'd add "if you'd experienced it, you'd be one of those babbling fools too", but i think i've generated enough hatred for one night.

She's talented at beating the shit out of tiny Asian women greeting her at airports.

I mean, is this hot or is this hot?

You like village people, Barbara Streisand and show tunes, we like The Smiths, each to their own.

wow . . . thank you for your evident homophobia. and stereotyping isn't your thing, is it? i hate all those performers you mentioned. showtunes? showtunes? are you fucking kidding me? i guess black people only listen to rap, asians only listen to that stuff you hear in chinese american restaurants, and straight people only like jessica simpson, right?

That's like me screaming 'anglophobe' everytime someone mentions brits and bad teeth.

her real indictment is that there aren't enough drugs out there to make me enjoy her music :p

ok, so i was exaggerating when i said she has no talent, obviously she has vocal skills. doesn't prevent her music from being either boring or grating. "her band uses futuristic instruments like the reactable and jazzmutant lemurs! look that those costumes and the styling! she makes up her own scales! she's declared independence from the music industry and marches to her own drum! her last album was made solely with samples of squeeking chairs, hyena calls and sounds from a blender!" too bad none of that translates into music that i was to listen to.

IT'S AN OPINION.

Shit…or simply overrated?

I was never a fan but was given a ticket in 89 and loved the show.
