happy clappy christians playing joy division

I do quite like them though

What are you gabbing on about? :rolleyes:

nothing, i was just increasing my post count through boredom.

I really like War, Under a blood red sky,the Unforgettable fire and Achtung baby and I actually think the Joshua Tree is quite good too (probably their most consistent record).


When he's inspired I think his guitar parts can be really great. In addition I read somewhere that he said that "Bono's circus" during concerts sometimes really embarrassed him, he actually seems to be a cool guy.

I also really like Adam Clayton's bass lines, but I can't bear him as a person (he seems to be even more of a twat than Bono).

11 o'clock tick tock is one my favourite early U2 songs, especially played live. The studio version was produced by Martin Hannett by the way.

I saw them live coming off the release of the Joshua Tree so it was an enjoyable concert but just like Led Zeppelin the radio killed them with over play especially that album. The concert and the Joshua Tree were the end of it with U2 for me. My taste started moving to a period of Jazz....

YES! New Years Day is the best U2 song




but what abuot Discotheque?

lol agreed

Sorry....I'm kind of a U2 fan....yeh Bono is a douche...


Saw 'em live when they went on tour for How to Dismantle an Atom Bomb....That fuckin' albums sucks....but the show was rather mediocre.

Achtung Baby is a brilliant album.

wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

your wrong.

Shut up. You're wrong.

thats funny because your a twat.

Oh, Jon. If only you were a woman, and not a coal-eating northerner. Why, I'd happily acquiesce to dicking you. Unless you looked like you do, in which case I'm sure you'd excuse me for giving you a mercy fuck and then moving to Bahrain.

"mercy fuck"

is that a band name yet? it should be

Rattle and Hum is an awesome doco. Pretty near perfect.

don't you happen to be a northerner too? I always thought so.

boy, october and war.. 3 albums which must be heard. great records them all.

everything from fire to present day vaires from being pretty good to god awful in varying degrees.

another classic u2 song!

Do you normally insult people with what they regard you as?
