Avatar's rock stars

If The Beatles mums had sex with one of those giant smurfs from Avatar John, Paul, George and Ringo might have looked like this. Same goes for Madonna and Bono.

Attack of the Crab- U2 concert review

You like Giant alien crabs attacking stadiums? I think it's kind of cool and so does U2.. the 360 tour hit BC place this past week and it was well, a typical U2 extravaganza.. Let me lay it out for you quick and easy,

Band enters stage, band dances around really badly, mediochre light show, very cool video screens, lots of philanthropy, a message to save the imprissioned leader of Burma, more bad dancing, children walk on the stage in a circle for One Love, 2 encores and the show is done..

58,000 people exiting the stadium and roam the streets of Vancouver.. nothing special, nothing bad, just typical U2.

Vintage

Oh wait I forgot to mention the laser jacket.. Bono wear a jacket covered in Lazers, now don't get me wrong I am all about copying and making it your own but didn't daft punk already do that a long time ago when lazers were actually cool? I guess most of U2's audience is too old to know what Daft punk is so they can get away with it.

U2 and YOUTUBE or YOUTWO and U2UBE

Say what you want about Bono and his egomaniacal posturing, the fact of the matter is U2 IS the biggest band on the planet and has been for like, what, two decades?!?! I know their latest album didn't get much love here in North America, because of this critics have deemed it a commercial flop, but last nights live broadcast of U2 playing the Rosebowl was proof that they are still loved by millions the world over. Since it's initial broadcast last night at 8:30-ish PT the streaming concert has continuously been replayed.

It truly was a unique and cool undertaking on the band's part, marred only by the incessant, tactless tweets of some that read " MADONNA IS DEAD." She's not. People can be losers. Enjoy the whole damn concert right here!!!

The new U2 single

Get on Your Boots is getting trashed on the net. Perez Hilton and his band of merry bloggers decided that this single from the up coming album No Line on the Horizon wasn't any good. They're idiots.

In fact, U2 have done it again. They've taken their sound and flipped the switch. They did it when they made the transition from Rattle and Hum to Achtung Baby.
They did it when they put out Pop. They're doing it again.
They are one of the few bands in the world who aren't afraid to take risks and experiment with their sound. Some think they've had mixed results. I say that those people are mixed nuts. Just kidding but really it's just a matter of personal opinion. All That You Can't Leave Behind is my least favorite U2 album but the world loved it. I loved Pop; the masses didn't. The truth is there are enough versions of U2 to please almost anybody and that's an impressive feat.

As for the new single....

Regardless of your personal feelings for Bono and his lightly coloured glasses there is no way you deny this track is catchy.
