U2 live. Music realism

Yes.  U2 are crap.

A circulating story.  On-stage at a Glasgow gig between numbers Bono starts clapping his hands slowly and announces in his rough-edged Dublin brogue 'Every time I clap my hands, a child dies'.

The lightning fast Glasgow response: 'Then stop f%$*ing clapping...'

I like Volcano 

@kb54 + 1 Though I don't agree with them being as important as you do, that's all about personal taste... I saw them several times during the 'Boy' to 'War' period, and those were superb live shows with great music....

I don’t care if it’s Bono, Ted Nugent or Carlos Santana, I pay my money to hear the music and not to hear them speaking from a soapbox!

Somehow there exist some CDs that I bitterly regret having in my collection and I wish for some kind fairy to whisk them away while I am sleeping.. 

U2, along with Adele, Springsteen, and one Robert Plant solo which has no redeeming features.
