U2 forced to cancel Glasto appearance

[Northstander]

I would say it's the U2 brand that is keeping them going now, the volumes of steadfast fans who refuse to hear a bad word against them and then the numbers of people who attend the gigs to say "I've Seen U2" and possibly thinking it was not as good as I was expecting.

The Late 70's and throughout the 80's their gigs were raw energy! Now it's "the brand!"

Probably just a younger version of the Stones who are so far past their sell by date it's embarrasing, yet they sell out in minutes. I'd love to hear what Richards would have had to say about the 2010 Stones in 1969.

Coldplay are being rumoured to step in, now that WOULD be a disaster!

Maybe it's better the devil you know, rather than the devil you don't...

I like U2 a lot but do get fed up with the appalling righteous shit Bono now does tryinbg to portray himself as a modern day saint.

Stick to the music and the day job and forget politics.

 

[Northstander]

Its got to be either Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand or Kasabian as replacements

Anyone of those would be amazing!!!

 

[Stinky Kat]

is it pulp time again or are Ash free?

 

[Race]

you'd have thought the others would have said " we're gonna do the gig - With or Without You!"

 

[Last Summer]

So Bono does his back in after falling off the stage?... That'll teach him to get too close to the edge!

Taxi!

I wonder if they were playing Pride before he fell?
