I hope the sound is better than it was at the new Wembley stadium. Bloody awful.
Loads of bass and distortion and I couldn't hear a word.
And I hope you don't get a total and utter cock who has no rhythm and who can't take his drink either, dancing around, jumping up and down in and out of his seat and wildly clapping his hands off beat directly in your line of sight
The only time the prick sat down and kept still was to hug his soppy missus during the slow tunes. Cliched wanker
He managed to get in the way during all my favourite songs. 
I hope his journey home was twice as shite as mine!

Am I the only person that hates U2? They just seem so dull to me.

I fucking hate their music, and that self righteous bastard who sings.

More people dislike them than like them I think.
I don't mind them tbh, their earlier stuff is far better though.

Have you ever heard any of their records Joe?
You probably wouldn't think they were dull if you'd seen them live. 
I'd say they are one of my three favourite bands.
What would your preference be for a favourite band or top three band say?

Must be a hell of a lot of people that don't like em then.

Never heard a full album no, but have heard the majority of stuff thats been released/in the charts and it just seems crap. I know I can't judge it all, but from what I've heard I couldn't stand listening to a full album.
Plus Bono is a cunt.

He might have done. Stranger things have happened.
Dull seems a strange choice.
I'm not talking about hearing part of one single on a plasterers radio. I mean actually listening to an album. And on a decent stereo preferably.
Edited for duff spelling.

So you've heard 30 years worth of singles and didn't like any of them?
I don't understand people disliking them personally as I appreciate their sound and have done since the first time I heard the Joshua Tree when it came out.
So what's your cup of tea bandwise then Joe?

I think my life is better off without hearing any more of their stuff.
If you could recommend me one song SVM I will give it my full attention and see what happens.

I'm not trying to make you or anyone else like them Joe.
It just surprises me a little when people don't as i've always loved their music.
You still haven't admitted to a preffered band/s. 
'I will follow', 'New Year's Day', 'The Unforgettable Fire', 'Where the streets have no name', 'Angel of Harlem', 'All I want is you', 'Even better than the real thing', 'One', 'Who's gonna ride your wild horses?', 'Numb', 'Lemon', 'The Wanderer', 'Discotheque', 'Walk on', 'In a little while', 'Sometimes you can't make it on your own', 'City of blinding lights', 'Original of the species' and 'Yahweh' are all favourites of mine and span most of their career, so you could do worse than picking any of them for a listen Joe.

Nah I realise that, I'm just not a fan. Never heard a song of theirs that I liked. Apart from did they do One with Mary J Blige or something? That was ok.
I listen to anything and everything, generally guitar/indie stuff but I have no real specifics.

Yeah that was 'One' off of the Achtung Baby album from about '91. They revamped it with her a couple of years ago.
That reminds me, I don't own a copy and must get one as it was rather good. Mary sounded great. Nice arse in them jeans too.
Have you got many CDs/much vinyl? There must be at least one band you have more of?
I like all sorts myself. Got a massive and eclectic collection, but i've still got my favourites.
