Going to see a U2 tribute band (U2UK) at the Flowerpot tomorrow night for the 4th time.
Bloody brilliant if anyone fancies
I really like Zooropa the album, less bombastic than their usual. Achtung Baby's my fave though. "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?"
U2 went downhill after ' Under a Blood Red Sky' FACT
U2(UK) are actually better than U2.
Anyone remember Bonio and U2 at Glastonbury- what a bell end.
They made the fatal mistake trying to play new tracks instead of banging out all their hits,as is traditional.
A result at Cardiff would not convince me anything has fundamentally changed.
Even a dead cat bounces.
I saw them live in Munster Germany in 1985. They played the Under the blood red sky set and it was amazing. Oddly they didn’t top the bill, that was Chris de Burgh.
Having been blow away by U2 to then be brought crashing down the earth by A Spaceman Came Tavelling was too much to take and we left.
Before Lady in Red ??
Madness !!
Listening to Sunday Bloody Sunday. Living in a disused factory. In Belfast. Before a patrol.
I'd batter Bono at the drop of a hat, with the hat hitting the ground first.
After his live aid "antics" this band went from hero's to zero's.
Oh and yeah Paul, pay taxes in the country you live in and stop spouting about world problems that you gate crash and stop wearing stupid shoes to make you taller.

Like Branson recently visiting some British forces out in the Carribean. If the rich t\/\/at paid his tax in the UK, the Navy might have more cash to help the real natives over there?
Apart from turkeys not voting for Christmas, can anyone please explain why such places as "UK offshore tax havens" exist?
My mate was at a U2 gig.
Apparently Bono started clapping every 7 seconds and said "every time I clap a child in Africa dies"
A loyal fan shouted back
"Stop ho king clapping then."
The type of fans we need.
Tax havens exist so business transactions can take place with minimal cost. It is a happy coincidence that those with power and wealth can use them to avoid paying taxes. Incidentally Bonio means well but can't sing and is a hypocrite.
When I was just a boy the DET used to run features on the Rams players and I distinctly remember that the vast majority of the squad cited The Joshua Tree as their favourite album of all time.
I like a lot of their older stuff but have to agree that Bono is a complete dัฤkhead. His insistence that he sing a particular part of one of the later 'Feed The World' reincarnations as a caveat to his taking part just shows precisely where his priorities lie... what is it with these fricking Irish and their demanding that we pay for this and forego that, all the while with their royalties piling up in foreign accounts? Sir Bob is another fecker for that.
I went to see U2 at Wembley in 1997. It was easily the best concert I have ever been to - and I've been to quite a few.
Viz magazine hates Bono and gives him stick in virtually every issue, but whatever your take on him, nobody can deny that he is a very tallented man.
Must be nearly time for a match thread. Is View able to do it or who is running it this week?

Viz knows
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it does. I particularly like the Rude Kid strip and of course Real Ale Tw@ts and Drunken Bakers. Sc~m Mothers who'd have them, is also incredibly accurate.
I left Viz for many years and only started getting it again a couple of years ago. The Craptic Crossword is a favourite and Drunken Bakers is genius as is Male Online, Skum Mothers and the Chicken takeaway whose name I forget. I love Jack Black as well. I tend to read it of a morning, after I have had had the morning cup of tea brought to me in bed by my sencond born, for which I pay him 50 pence per cup (absolute bargain) and before my shower. It seems to do the job of loosening me up for the day ahead quite nicely. Apart from Bono, they also appear to have something againstJack Straw and Sting. Can't think why.
