U2 Tour Sphere in Las Vegas

U2 sure love their humongous performance stages. They did the same thing for the 360 tour.

Went to Las Vegas and this thing is huge but more surprised how fast they are building it...just one year ago was barely noticeable.

Saddly is U2 not my taste, hope someday Depeche Mode or Iron Maiden have a residence there.

Scalpers are out of control. If I saw U2 charge $5000 for the cheapest ticket and almost nobody attended, I would just think good on U2, they beat the scalpers.
That isn’t the scalper price. 1000 is for verified fans in the pre sale.

kind of tired about hearing about these old guys touring, like pack it up grandpa
Look, they're not really my cup of tea either, but that's no excuse for coming in and trying to shit up fans of theirs thread.

I don't go into threads about Whizz Pizz Killa Boy and say how boring I think their 'music' is.

I live about 4 or 5 miles away from the sphere and I still haven't seen it in person.
 
One of the most - if not the most - overhyped bands in music history...
I'll never never understand how these friggin' talentless hacks managed to reach "Rock stardom ".

Also : "The Edge" - who the FUCK calls himself that ?

Boring melodies, guitar(s) and riffs that sound like they're out of tune with a distinct lack of technicality on "the edge's" part.

One of the most un-rock "rock" bands in existence.

Sorry for the rant my dudes but I've always found them extremely unlikable, their personas, their music, everything...

It's "Rock" for people that don't like Rock basically (much like The red hot chilli peppers which are always en vogue)

So edgy. Let me guess, you also only buy / listen to your music on vinyl too?

No.
I just have a strong dislike for bullshit bands.

Don't just make assumptions and stop being snarky just 'cause it's easy on the internet.
Wanna make a retort ? Feel free mate, want to talk about music ? let's do that - the herp derp "yO'ure BeEing 3Dgyy" thing doesn't count , neither as a retort nor as a discussion.

Cheers

Tbf they put on a helluva show, there's no denying you get your money's worth with some incredible stage setups

As for this Dome thing, I'd love to see that in action and once the kids can be left alone and me and the missus get back to travelling Vegas is definitely on the list

Funny that this got bumped because I bought U2 tickets to this show last night. Should be pretty cool.

U2 was one of the most exciting new rock acts in the early eighties. Their concerts from 1980-1983 were just electrifying. The band lost that harder edge after working with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois IMO. My favorite albums are still October and War.

Just watch a couple live performances from those days and you'll take back your words about U2 being a band for people who don't like rock.

Far too political for me, Bono is the most obnoxious self important busy body in music.

The last album that I found listenable was all that you can't leave behind which was mostly tripe.

I do like some of their 80s songs though.
