I was not at the show I just checked it now to see what happened and figured I'd share like the kind person who did so for 1st night.Edit: Thanks Sir Stewart for finding that blog. I'll add more to Jeff Beck's set. I assume the U2gigs guy on the spot was in the bathroom waiting for Bono. Not in a sexual way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Oh, U2. Man, every other setlist over these two nights is like "wow" - and U2's sucks. WTF. 'Vertigo'? You're celebrating the entire history of rock music boys - try opening with 'Streets' or something. And Black Eyed Peas? According to Jann Wenner on Charlie Rose last week, the bands had their pick of who would join them onstage. And U2 picked Black Eyed Peas? Man. U2. WTF. Also - Jeff Beck really only got to do one tune? EDIT: Apparently not.

uncool2pillow Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 The Metallica set is incredible. Can't imagine what they did w/ Sweet Jane, but can't wait to hear them shred White Light / White Heat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Bono & Don Knots on stage (file photo not found ) Damn you AP I agree. Not sure why Bono has the bug for Black Eyed Peas. My spidey sense is tingling: maybe Fergie and Bono get along more than friendly. Luckily, I saw Snow Patrol with U2 in September. I really hoped for Muse but next time. I guess I'd like to look at Fergie too instead of the dudes from Snow Patrol & Muse. Although, she is nothing great. But I'm reminded of her hot scenes from Planet Terror. I'm torn like Natalie Imbruglia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

U2 are the Stones for this decade. Artistically irrelevant but commercially a juggernaut. It would seem that Metallica approached this right way drawing on artists like Lou Reed and Black Sabbath who have a direct lineage to the the two genres from which they sprung (Metal and Punk). It's funny to think that in some ways U2 in 1988/1989 would have been a lot more up for the task when riding the crest of "Joshua Tree' they successfully incorporated "People Get Ready", "All Along The WatchTower", "Stand By Me" and "Helter Skelter" into their live shows and cut records and performed with the likes of BB King. I'm afraid that everything I have seen of them recently smacks of the most un-rock'n'roll behaviour imaginable: trying far too hard to look the part when it's obvious they don't still have their musical mojo.

JerseyMike Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Probably a calculated guess to sell more records or concert tickets based on which artists have most cross-over appeal at this time Yeah, because U2 doesn't sell enough records or tickets. At least your not cynical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 The new Rolling Stone reminded me of my favorite rock hall of fame moment: Mike Love bagging on everybody in his speechDylan coming up later and thanking Mike Love for not mentioning him in his speech. Second favorite: Prince does Beatles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
