My opinion of that is that fans are going to a concert to see their favourite band perform,and nothing else.

I like a lot of U2 songs,but Bono really sickens me sometimes.
Even the AIDS charities didn't want him involved with their organisations anymore,because he was actually putting people off donating because of his constant preaching and acting like a world leader.



If anybody is going to a u2 gig and foes not realise that his has been an integral part of the act since nearly the war album well they are in cloud ccuckoo land. It's not as if they have a suddenly sprung it upon people. If you don't like it don't go.plenty more who will
LOL

Of course we will always have the lemmings.

Yet they never spoke out against Bush & Blair's invasion of Iraq.  Wouldn't dream of speaking out against the mad mullahs in the Middle East, cosying up to the refugee crisis without condemning ISIS, USA, Britain etc. Is a shareholder with Monsanto which is poisoning people with their chemical spraying of crops. Accepted a knighthood from Britain while that country still occupies a part of his beloved Ireland. A small man in an ivory tower preaching to the masses trying to be John Lennon.

So you don't agree with their politics which is fair enough. But the points above are 1. They shouldn't talk about politics at a concert. And 2.that they only speak about politics to sell records.   

Both of Which are nonsense.

As for your post above. Well anyone who takes a sitand on any point could always be accused of what about speaking about cause a to z.

So the problem isn't that he has politics and articulates them, its that he doesn't share your politics.
 
You have managed to make me stick up for Bono, that is how wrong you are.

Going to see a hypocrite sing about his childhood is beyond sad to me but to actually pay money is even sadder.

You can't credibly claim that you weren't expecting to be preached at at a U2 gig...

Just in the door from the show in Belfast and have to say it exceeded my expectations for it (my 1st time seeing them live). Hairs on the back of your neck stood up when seen the reaction Sunday Bloody Sunday got as well as other songs throughout the night

Fact that it the first time in 18 years they played Belfast added to it tonight as well and the odyssey as a venue is great for concerts like this


I'd say any of yous going to the shows in Dublin are in for a treat if tonight anything to go by
the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4
