If U2's music sounds the same, how come Pop was so "out there"? So much so, that I ended up really liking that album because it was so different.
Also, I have a soundtrack to a movie called "Captive" that was done entirely by The Edge. Incredible stuff, never got much public notice.
To say that U2 is nothing compared to Queen or vice versa is preposterous. Plus a manager being responsible for their success? You might have a misconstrued idea about exactly a manager does. Creative input is about the last thing they're worried about. Have they played some great venues and made a lot of money, yes that's the manager's responsibility. But the quality of the music is something the manager needs to stay away from.
You don't believe me, ask Freddie. He was abundantly clear about that on several occaisions.

Why do you guys think it took Queen 3 years after they were eligible to ener the hall? Shit I know U2 is going to enter the first year they are eligible and Queen were better than u2. Is it because the hall is in the US and we all know how the US in very Queen "friendly." What is your take on it?[/QUOTE]
U2 is pure garbage compared to Queen, Queen is soooo far better and talented than them its a joke

as to Queen being better than U2 - well that's subjective isn't it? most of the world would disagree with you right now.U2 are bigger since Joshua Tree - album sales wise, than Queen.
if you put queens albums from 86 to now
A Kind of Magic
Live Magic
Miracle
Innuendo
Made In Heaven
against any FIVE U2 albums form same time period - you will see U2 sell much more[/QUOTE]
U2 should be happy if they could kiss freddies shoes, they are nothing in comparision, pure shit

Like your bandmate would say, that is a FACT!

To be frank, U2 songs all sound the same. The reason why they sell so much is because they have a great manager - not a great band.
A U2 song can be good, but listen to a whole album, god no! When i hear or see the name U2, usually the $ sign is also in the article.
Bono will not be remembered like Freddie Mercury is remembered, his talent. Bono is nothing special as a singer, they're just big in the US because they play on their Irishness (even though 2 of them are from England...). I mean where you come from matters...why did Freddie hide his roots! (even though us queen fans think it makes him sound more mysterious...and so do i)[/QUOTE]
you need to get a life U2 have produced at least four excellent albums
and yes - sometimes their music sounds the same...much like queen's music sounded the same....the red special, the mulitpart vox harmonies, the theatrical layerings of each song...how easily you forget...
and U2 (Bono) will be remembered for his humanitarian work...something our beloved FREDDIE NEVER MANAGED
and as for "half of them being English"...if you're born in a stable does that make you a horse? NO - so don;t talk crap...
Clayton's family relocated to Dublin when he was ONE YEAR OLD, the Edge's family relocated when he was FIVE
i think that makes them all Irish[/QUOTE]
You mention how Nono will be remembered for humanitatian stuff...i've no problem with that, and makes my point - Freddie will be remembered for music because that was his best thing. Bono humanitarian ok. And btw Bono preaches about charity work yet he is a tax exile...so please don't buy that Bono is a saint. He wants countries to up their %of GDP that rich countries give to poor countries...but wait on he won't pay because he doesn't pay tax!!
Again i think you miss the point. I can listen to Queen at the Bowl and hear disco, rock or ballads...and they're all to a high standard. U2 sound the same generally, those boring intros that are just a manipulation of a chord. They can sound good but when you hear them over and over again (can say the same with brian mays solos but at lease the other members cam in with other instruments to balance it out - john deacon bass lines, freddies piano lines...)
Well its a fact 2 members of U2 are english.

As usual, your ignorance runs rampant. There is a lot more to battling social inequality than money.
Bono started a company in Africa called "Edun" that manufactures clothing, where it is ensured that the workers are paid a fair wage and work under good conditions. It is one of the biggest steps toward social justice of our time.
I'll even save you a step, so you don't have to Google it (which of course, I'm sure you were going to rush to upon hearing about this company):

How long until Festered Ferment make it? After all they believe Freddie is God... and that they are better than all other bands. When will they start the "Final Countdown" for their induction?
Will Maxine have her own signature guitar?

Seriously... well, it doesn't make any sense to talk seriously here. I'm sure this guy thinks that "More of that Jazz" and "Fun it" (sorry, Rog) are better, catchier and superior than "Pride (in the name of love)" and "One".
