WHY PER IS SO FASCINATED BY BONO VOX??

I remember in 2001, when he reffered to him as ’fabbe’...

when he talked about Napster, he used a U2 song as an example...why??

I like U2...but they give’em too much credit...specially Bono, he’s a tremendous villain, that is...he came to a concert here, in 1997, and he pulled up a fan from the crowd and gave her a loooooong, tongue kiss!! that was enough!! what a hellish guy!

If you have a problem with Bono tongueing some girl in the audience, then you’d hate to go to a Marilyn Manson concert.

I cant stand U2 - the only good thing they ever did were a couple of outstanding songs that i can count on my fingers and Akerlund directed 2 outstanding vids for them. Apart from that, I dont think they have grasped what live entertainment really is, and Bono’s “I’m playing saviour to the world” act really doesn’t work for me.

So what DOES Per see in him/them? Hopefully only the 10finger song talent.

Cheers

I hate Bono. He’s the worst I’ve ever seen. I can’t even stand his presence, not to mention his songs. He’s so infatuated and too busy to show off all the time. I don’t see any reason for which Per would like him, but I’ve heard he does admire him.

I know U2 is considered a great band but I simply hate their songs, even the ones that I might have liked if they would have been sung by somebody else...
How about Marie? Does she like Bono/U2 too?

Jep, Marie likes U2. She even said that in interviews and you can hear it in some of her songs. Compare “Ett enda liv” with U2’s song “With or without you”...there are many simularities like the bass, drums, guitar (especially the sound). Anyway, you’ll know what I mean when you hear both songs :-)

PS I don’t like Bono either!

i’d rather see bono tongue the edge before they get naked and have fun

i don’t know what all the fuss is about

@carbon boy: yes, that’s true, I can’s stand his ’super hero’ type positon all the time...I mean, if u have the power to help people, a lot of them...just do it and shut up. Many people face Bible as a mystical book, so...not that reliable...but there’s a very interesting advice there...from Jesus: what ur right hand does, don’t let the left to know. I hate celebs that release campaigns and are flashed out by cameras everytime they do something humanitarist!! iuc...

and...it seems that everybody here agrees about kinda hating U2...so...do u agree that their songs are quite repetiitve? and I could blame ’the edge’ for that...

btw...the edge...oh man...that’s soooome nasty guy...he finds himself the most brilliant guitarist of the world...and why that nickname? the edge of what? the talent? the edge of creativity? nobody can go further than him??? blaaargh...

now, in the other hand...why Per disgusts Simply Red so much????

and which other artists he disgust? one thing for sure...not Michael Jackson...he just said once in roxette.se that he’s not anymore ’his cupattea’...

I love U2 and couldn’t hate more Simply Red!!!!!! :D

From my point of view both U2 & Simply Red have one small problem: they’re so dull!

U2 have had some good songs but Simply Red are soooo annoying.
