@ 100%. I saw him in concert very early on in his career and he started going off on the police with some stupid song. Most of the people in the audience were booing. That was it for me with Springsteen.
I saw U2 at parkhead the home of Glasgow Celtic 30 odd years ago, great band live , he started all his bullshit , then said every time I clap my hands a child in Africa dies , someone shouted stop clapping your fucking hands then .
Don't be, just remember Spike Milligan had an Irish passport & was technically also a musician as well as a comedian. And don't forget Phil Lynott was from there too and he was fuckin amazing!!

You misunderstand what he meant by that, which is easy to do considering his poor choice of words. If you`ve ever worked on a building site, you would know that there is always someone`s ghetto blaster playing stuff like U2. Ian MacCulloch is working class & isn`t ashamed of it.
I opened for Echo & the Bunnymen for 2 nights and they praised U2's work ethic and deep commitment to tour America for nearly a year after they released Boy and then October.

Two things can be true at the same time. Yes Bono is a pretentious A hole. And Ozzy, Roger Waters, and Henry Rollins are the three biggest A holes in music and have no room to criticize anyone.
@ Incorrect. Arnie Robinson of 2801 Tree Street, Texarkana TX specifically asked me three days ago if Ozzy, Waters, and Rollins were A holes. I told the truth.
In my opinion U2’s decision to release an album for free was the final nail in the coffin for Rock Music as a mainstream genre. Bypassing the music industry not such a clever idea as the industry soon took revenge. Not long after no longer was new Rock music was being aired on mainstream radio and Rock based Rock video channels soon disappeared.
Angry, aging, once-popular rock musicians: apparently "U2" can experience professional jealousy on a massive scale. Why not invest what's left of your creativity and energy in your music instead of using it to slag someone you childlishly perceive to be a threat?
I wouldn't like to be famous always some one on your back no one is perfect we all say and do things no way every body will agree bono has the right to say u 2 great music look at your selfs amen
I'm Irish and like most people here I hate the guy. No musical ability whatsoever and a voice that grates on the toughest ear. "Concerned with human rights?" What about the rights of over 100,000 babies who have been murdered in Irish hospitals since the abortion referendum in 2018? Bono and his Edgy friend came out very strongly in favour of the dismemberment of innocent, defenceless babies. There are hypocrites and there are hypocrites but Bono is in a class of his own.
Looks like Bono is "Mr Popular" with some of his rock star pals...the only saving grace Bono has is the single "Stuck In a moment" which even though he nicked some of Michael Hutchence's ideas as U2 and INXS were on a bit of a similar par in the early/mid 90's...he gets credit for writing a worthy tribute song. Otherwise...more power to Ozzy and George Harrison, Roger Waters and co for calling him out...
Goes on about the third world then he's drinking champagne with Eddie Jordan in Monte Carlo and claiming U2 are the biggest rock band ever.... They don't come close to been the best ever !
I respect both of them as musicians. But art should not be so politically opinionated. There is corruption on both sides of opposing enemies, that's the thing to focus on. Not who is right or wrong. None of us know the full story enough to be qualified to announce how others should view these matters.
In the beginning I liked the band I’m around their age and it all sounded good back then but as time moved on I just found Bono to be a self righteous pr*ck and still don’t like him today.
Best band ever. Lots of jealous (and ignorant) people out there, including other musicians. 😅 Neither Bono nor fellow bandmates have to prove anything to anyone. Their legacy is well made and will endure.
The problem is Bono became such a ubearabke lefty that I can't stand him any more, nor his songs,not to mention his poor singing today. Now, their song go like la la la, nothing interesting in them, totally different from what theybused to be back a long tome ago.
Probably fair to say their first three albums were superb, the next two okay, Achtung was a positive and that one you mentioned. The rest of their work, especially the Yuppie trendy cr4p like Joshua and Rattle don't deserve the reverence and praise they keep recieving

His name is allegedly on 'lists' that are being kept from the public.

@@John-k6f9k 'Tin foil hat sh+t' like....both of America's coasts should be underwater by now, according to Al Gore?
I agree with the criticism. Bono doesn't strike me as a genuine person. He uses "trendy" causes to advance himself.
I agree but I don't agree with Ian putting down working class people.
LOL “trendy” when was it ever trendy to get nations to drop the debt owed to them by Africa?
You would struggle to find 5 people who like him

Agreed, Springsteen is overrated and his music is boring.
Although I hate the corporate group U2 have become, I think Coldplay are ten time worse.
Yeah they are shit too.
You do have a good point.
They've replaced U2 as that "middle-class yuppie coffee table band" favourite
One single ass hair of a Simple Minds member worth more than Bono (and of the whole band of U2 and Coldplay as well)

My dislike of U2 stems from the fact that all the people I hated at school seemed to worship U2

I noticed a while ago something i hadn't previously. I was watching their live video and discovered the guitar pieces all sounded very similar.
I'm not a big lover of Saint Bono, but none of these people are any better than him. As for Henry Rollins and Howard Stern, who cares what they think?
Yes, Is there anybody on the planet who likes Roger Waters ?
I'm pretty sure Bono won't lose any sleep over these 5 :)
Anyone Roger Waters hates can't be all bad.
He certainly hates Israel.
Roger Waters didn't like Sinead O'Connor either. Makes me wonder if he's got something against the Irish.
one word for u2 shite
Waters understandably hates anybody he sees himself reflected in.
What Roger hates is what he sees of himself in other people.
Big deal , one rockstar hates another …. There’s more going on!

I can't take seriously any criticism when it comes from a reality star rocker like Ozzy.
Sharon probably told him to say it. Ozzy replied "of course dear."

Roger Waters has room to criticize anyone? not too sure about that - Bono might be a bit full of himself, but his OCT 7 lyrics change was spot on

Bono’s alright he’s such a star he’ll attract attention anyway.
Totally overrated and a WEF puppet. A true rock hero is Ozzy.
