U2

[Maguire01]

Thought the first song on Jonathan Ross tonight, Breathe, sounded pretty good on first listen. Bono acting the c**k as usual with his walkabout amongst clearly uncomfortable audience members!

[INDIANA]

Thats not a bad song at all and gets better the more you listen to it. Get on Your boots is painful shite though.

On the money!

You have to wonder, if there are better tracks on the album, what bright spark thought 'boots' was the best choice for lead single?

[Tony Baloney]

They're on the Culture Show Uncut on bbc2 now.

It doesn't sound like a 'U2 song', so it might attract people who previously would have dismissed them. I'd say thats the thinking.

[INDIANA]

failed miserably then so. I can't finad anyone who likes that song. Sounds like it was recorded in some one's kitchen.

[mountainboii]

I half like it

The Sweetest Thing? WTF

[Eoghan Mag]

I bought the new Bell X1 CD instead of U2's one this weekend. Is it worthwhile getting any of the special edition No line on the Horizon releases?

[Maguire01]

What's the new BellX1 album like? I didn't like the last one as much as Music In Mouth.

Dunno, but there wss a story doing the rounds about 15 years ago at a US concert he ripped the tricolur into three bits and used the white part to blow his nose, then said he didnt have a clue wtf the flag stood for anymore.
