I understand why I did not like U2 for so long. After watching this video,

YouTube - ‪U2 - October / New Year's Day - Live @ Red Rocks - HD Quality!!‬‏

I realized it was not the band I disliked so much for so long, but Bono. The band members themselves are extremely talented, but Bono seems to get all the credit. He can make love to his microphone and be a humanitarian, but the band gets shafted. Typical in most bands that the frontman gets the credit, but I have a lot more respect for the band members and still dislike Bono. I do not know what it is exactly what I have never liked about him, but we can start with the glasses and the fact he is the typical frontman making the money while the rest of the band has carried him for decades. Just something that has been on my mind the past few hours.

bona is an elitest, he's no different than most famous libs. U2 is one of the most talent groups still around, but bono needs a good kick in the crotch sometimes.

U2, more specifically Bono, are a bunch of hypocrites. I do like some of their songs, but mostly I find them to be overrated.

it was better back in the 80's when U2 was considered "alternative" music

I forgot, later in that same video Natalie Portman ends up looking like the absolute angel that she is.

If you think The Edge doesn't get credit for being a huge part of U2's success, then I do believe you are talking out of your ass. He is widely accepted as one of the most famous guitarists in the world.

I don't particularly care for Bonehead, but I do think U2 is one of the best bands ever. For 20+ years, they managed to re-invent themselves on pretty much every album, with most of those albums being at least good, if not great. I can't think of any other band that has ever done that.
