I've never heard 'em, except to hear that they supposedly sound like U2.

 

[wonder111]

If you go to sights and sounds, I think you can hear some of their stuff

I guess they could sound like U2, I love U2 so that's a good thing

great music.

 

[caley]

a rush of blood to the head is a brilliant album. brilliant.

 

[SAPguy]

Probably one of the greatest bands out there at the moment.

 

[Lotar]

They're pretty good, I saw them live a few months back and I have their cds.

 

[Axver]

They've done some pretty good songs indeed ... and they opened for U2 at Slane Castle in 2001. I've heard that they've been influenced by U2, and I see a bit of it, but not on the scale some people say - it's not like Coldplay's released anything of the calibre of Where The Streets Have No Name, Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day, or One. Admittedly, I find some Coldplay songs boring, but stuff like Clocks is sheer brilliance and if all goes according to plan, I'll be getting their CDs for Christmas.

Yeah I agree with axver I love the clocks song and the yellow song.
My favorite u2 song is with or without you, it’s on my sound file if you want to listen to it, but it’s a cover.

So which do you guys think is better, Parachutes or A Rush of Blood to the Head? I think I'd have to go with Parachutes; it's a more consistent album overall. AROBTTH has some great ones (Clocks, In My Place, Warning Sign), but some poor ones as well (Daylight, Green Eyes). I can't say there is a song on Parachutes that I don't like however, and High Speed and We Never Change are just brilliant.

I hate that band with a passion, I am a fan of Radiohead and consider them somewhat original (no I don't worship them, and they are actually just better than mediocre). But ripping off Radiohead is bad times, that's why Coldplay blow. Listen to some Tori Amos if you want to hear some talent on a piano.

 

[wonder111]

honestly, i think they are the only band where both their albums are a tie for me. I think of them as one continous album. But if I had to choose, i would say probably a rush of blood to the head.

Oh yes, who's the cover by? And have you heard With Or Without You on the Rattle And Hum movie? I can't listen to the studio version after hearing that brilliance.

I need to upload 11 O'clock Tick Tock from 5 June 1983 (the one that appears on the Under A Blood Red Sky video) - that's my very favourite U2 song. Absolutely incredible.

Since when did Coldplay rip off Radiohead? They don't sound a thing alike. Radiohead's dead boring for a start. I downloaded a live performance of I Might Be Wrong because Thom Yorke quoted U2's Please, and not only did he butcher the quote, but the song was the sheer essence of boring.

Hi Axver I really don’t know who the cover is by I just found it on this website http://u2.com.pl/download/mp3.phpI haven’t seen the rattle and hum movie but it must be awesome so I’m going to get it

 

[Axver]

Ah, right. Yes, Rattle And Hum is FANTASTIC. Sunday Bloody Sunday has the most classic Bono rant ever, the "f--- the Revolution!" one.

I love RAH nearly as much as I love the Under A Blood Red Sky video. UABRS only has 11 of the songs from that concert, though, so I'm trying to get my hands on the VCD of the entire show.

HI Axver I actually got the Rattle and Hum DVD today I always wanted to get it but didn’t get around to it. He seemed very emotional during SBS. The funniest part of the movie was at the start of Angel of Harlem when Larry said to Bono if I had a head like yours I’d frigging bury it. With or without you sounded great near the end of it when he sings well shine like stars in the summer night bit.

 

[Axver]

Hey, that's cool you got it!

Adam: If I had feet like yours, I wouldn't want them in the movie.
Larry: If I had a head like yours, I'd friggin' bury it.

Hehe, I love it. That performance of WOWY is the best I've seen, I absolutely adore Bad (that's my third-favourite song ever behind two performances of 11 O'clock Tick Tock), and SBS - you're right, they are so emotional during that, considering that the Einneskillen bombing had happened earlier that day. Exit just rocks, too. Not that great on The Joshua Tree, but it goes off live.
