    Yes the music can be good but I won't feel any connection to a band with a big ego.
    @ 12345AGNST1.....no I would not like that, I'd be more a Kurt Cobain type, hate people following me and hanging around me, P-R-I-V-A-C-Y it's priceless to me.

    You think Kurt didn't have a huge ego?

    Yep.

    No, because....

    1. Their lyrics are cheap and have no meaning
    2. Every song sounds the same
    3. Their singer has an annoying voice
    4. Bogans in Australia listen to them, they are the band for the uncultured feral bogans, I hate those types of people and this band attracts a massive bogan following (if you don't know what a bogan is then I can explain to you)

    1. Yes they do, not very deep but they do have meaning.
    2. Not really and it shows that you haven't really listened to them, and of course that's fine.

    See, your argument might be valid if they still weren't setting concert attendance records 30 years into their career. You see pop musicians come and go. So if you wanted to say the Fray were overblown 4 years ago, then you could be right. U2 have stood the test of time for 30 years.

    1) Their lyrics have plenty of meaning.
    2) U2 have changed their sound more than any popular band out there. Like the person said before, you have not listend to their music, because if you would have listened to the five record stretch of Joshua Tree, Auchtung Baby, Zooropa, Pop and All That You can't Leave Behind you would realize how wrong you are. U2 have changed up their music way more than Pearl Jam has. U2 jumped around different genres while Pearl Jam stays in one genre. U2 is a band that takes risks and pushes the envelope.
    3) Sure you can think Bono has an annoying voice. But I gotta believe having millions of people all over the world come hear you sing means that you don't have an annoying voice. I would argue Bono is the greatest frontman of all time.
    I think Thoughts_Arrive was talking about ACDC but you make great points about U2! :thumbup: :clap: All the reasons why I love U2 (especially point 2).

    And yes, Bono is the greatest frontman of all time.

    well i dont hang out with them.. but then again i dont hang out with arseholes either so....


    when someone applies the bogan label its usually in a derogatory fashion, as if that someone is somehow above it all... thats what i mind.

    Yeah...
    And so what, sorry for thinking I am better than feral people that don't want to work and are abusive.
    Like those around my suburb, junkies that abuse people randomly.
    Yep I am no better than them.

    I don't like U2, and I don't really listen to AC/DC either. I only have a couple of their songs on my computer. But I sure as hell don't go on the internet to complain about something that doesn't even mean anything to me personally. I don't get it. It's just music. :geek:
