U2 in Louisville
- Thread starter dgtatu01
- Start date
U2 can take a slow walk back across the Atlantic.
I have GA seats in Dallas with two buddies. Chicago and Pittsburgh dates didn't work for our crew. I wish they would've announced the whole GD tour at once. Louisville is just a little closer.
This will be my 7th show and 6th with these guys. My first was at Rupp in '87 pre-internet. Dawahare's had a ticket outlet that we camped out at the night before.

Seems like a grand time to see an opinionated European group perform in the heartland of the US.
I feel like U2 should be paying ME to join their club, not the other way around.
Ever since they forced their ****** album on my phone, I've hated them.
Can you imagine how loud that echo chamber will be
Bono: I'm a NASTY MAN ! Just like the bed sheets after Ashley stayed over.
Yes and no lol. Funny story I saw an interview with bono about meeting Freddie Mercury for the first time at live aid. Bono pretty much said Freddie gave the most intimidating compliment someone could give
Well unless the zombie apocalypse really happens I don't think you will get the original Skynyrd.
Kind of like attending a Toby Keith concert minus the ****** music and high school drop outs..

How in God's name can anyone believe a DJ duo is worth mentioning in the same breath as a band like U2? Just utterly blows my mind. Couldn't you just stay home and spin your own records and be as good (or better)? Unfathomable.
It's OK if you don't like U2. But, from what little I hear in pop music, half of the guitarists out there are Edge wanna-be's. Almost no one in pop actually plays the guitar anymore. It's all atmospheric, effects-laden background sounds. Personally, I think the Edge is really very good at what he does. Is he a shredder? Nope. But, his rhythm work is damn good and he's very tasteful with his fills and solos. Another guitarist who might blister through solo after solo would not fit the music they're playing (can you imagine EVH playing with U2 - it would be a complete disaster). If that's your litmus test for a guitarist's skill, then I can see why you think he 'can't play'. There's a lot more to playing guitar than playing fast solos.
'Most overrated band in the history of rock'? Really? To each his own.
You didn't. Just sort of a hangover from the Tweets about Gaga 'killing it' and 'best SB show ever!', etc. Gaga can flat out sing but, jeez, her music is just dreck. And having 50+ costumed dancers gyrating doesn't make it any better. Can't imagine Chainsmokers would be any more enjoyable for me. But, hey, they're popular. More power to 'em. I just don't care about that type of entertainment at all. Just thought it was odd comparing an act that plays records to an act that actually plays instruments. Not really apples to apples, imo. Have a good time at the show. Peace.
I'm going for her birthday man get off my back **** I like U2 I promise I promise
