    And seriously, why do people always bitch about him preaching at shows. He says his piece for like 30 seconds, then the rest of the 2 hours he is performing. If you dont wanna hear it, tune out
    :lol: Have you seen them live? The last time I saw them live (and it will be the last time) he went on and on. I've never seen so many fans looking bored and muttering "shut the fuck up". Never mind we'll all be released from him soon. It's impossible to have your head up your own arse that long without suffocating.

    I admit though that some of their music is excellent.

    It surprises me how many people hate Bono/U2 for the same reason that they love Eddie/Pearl Jam

    Edge is one of the classiest rockstars EVER and Adam Clayton is one of the most badass

    I love U2 just not how so many fans jumped on the bandwagon after The Unforgetable Fire album. I couldn't take how many fans discovered them.

    Great version. That was the first U2 DVD I watched. Loved the acoustic version of the song. The studio is great also.
