OT - U2 concert at MSU

On June 26th, U2 will have a concert at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing.

Anyone else going?  Location aside, it should be awesome and U2 puts on some of the best shows on earth.

Also, it sounds like the stage will completely tear up the field so MSU will need to get new grass.

Metallica kicks ass, their first 4 albums (Kill em All, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, And Justice for All) are still 4 of the greatest albums ever recorded, and they still rule live.  Yes, I realize Load and Reload sucked ass, and they probably shouldn't have recorded St. Anger inside of a garbage can, but they are still legends.  Go listen to Dyers Eve and get an education.

I am not the type of person that will dislike bands just because other people like them or anything like that, but there are things about some bands that turn me off to them. I actually like a lot of U2 music, but Bono's attitude just turns me off to liking them as a band... much like how Dave Matthew's Band fans will simply call him "Dave" out of context and expect me to know who the hell they are talking about.  I like some of their music but their fans in that case drive me away.

All that, and I just like that South Park episode :)

I think a lot of the backlash against Bono has come because people are sick of seeing him get all of this publicity for his philanthropic efforts.  It does get a little annoying seeing him on tv all the time talking about Africa and lecturing us on what we should do and whatnot.  At the end of the day though I think his heart is in the right place.

I doubt it has anything to do with the publicity for his philanthropic efforts.  It probably has a lot more to do with his inability to be anything but incredibly smug in any media he receives.  I don't mind U2, even down right enjoy some of their stuff, but Bono is way over the top on the pretentiousness scale.

I saw them at The Meadowlands in 2009 with Muse and it was quite a show - I've been a big U2 fan from their beginning.

They were getting some pretty good heat however for that stage set.  It was widely derided as having the biggest carbon footprint in the history of entertainment - truly spectacular but maybe not quite consistent with a do-good-to-the-world  image.

Great night though - Muse was a pleasant surprise at the time.
