I think it's a bit harsh to say the Stones are "ridiculed". The fact they can still sell out stadiums after 40+ years commands respect. However it's certainly true that they're now living off their (many) past glories.
U2 now appear to be heading in the same direction, although there's no shame in that as long as they can stay motivated.

And all these negativity just because Bono called Chris a ******?

Just wondering.

Just a coincidence. The evidence is there for all to see. This is the U2 thread after all, and they do have a new album out.
What really matters is their music, not what Bono says about Chris, and the reality is that U2's new material is mediocre.

Therefore perhaps Bono should be concentrating more on the quality of the band's recordings rather than making daft jokes about Chris...................................

hahaha probably

U2 is a legend.. they are one of the biggests band around! even if this album is not that awesome, they still are important in the music industry and I'm sure that the tour will be really good!

Fair enough but it's not really a coincidence for what i've seen on this board lately.There are lots of coldplay groupies bashing u2 just because of that comment about chris and i find it absolutely ridiculous.

Basically i could translate it all to: " U2 sucks and they aren't as big as coldplay anymore and their music is shit" But i'll let kids be kids

If you read my posts carefully, you'll see I'm not disputing any of that.

It isn't just U2 who seem to have run out of anthemic songs, either. The same could be said of Oasis and R.E.M., whose most recent album was extremely dull.

I was talking to Ren, the argument of the people in the coldplay section thread was pretty weak

As I said before, you can't post reports of comments like that on here without expecting that kind of backlash.
Anyone who doesn't is incredibly naive IMO.

I have to disagree there, R.E.M last album was absolutely awesome, and sounded so good live. And i liked Dig out your soul by oasis much more than viva la vida to be honest. It's all about personal opinions here ,there are no facts.

Indeed but i'd expect a mature comment regarding that situation but all i see in the coldplay section is little groupies talking shit about U2 because of what bono said ignoring what U2 has achieved as a band. I find that very stupid.
