I don't know. Can't blame him for having a goal. I mean, why would you expect him to say, "hey, I wanna be big - but not as big as U2."

I dont know, but i do not get the same vibe. The band itself shoots of u2 stardom vibes, but i really dislike Bono, so elts hope Chris doesnt try to outbeat him

They were advertised in a commercial for their tour or something the other day on Dave FM as "a band critics are hailing as the new U2"

Ughh, they wish lol

Playing a sell out UK tour... Plus, unusually they sold out Madison Square Garden in 90 minutes.. Maybe they will get it right in America this time.. Unlike the Formula One World Championship..

U2 are the most overhyped band ever in my opinion...

They may be like the new U2, but losing the #1 in England because of a crazy frog is also something that they wont add in their 4-pages biography!

No they won't ever be The Beatles.

But The Beatles were overrated in my opinion too (sorry Chili!) apart from George that is...

I have a major soft spot for Oasis, and their new album is great. They're playing a few shows in the U.S. (Chicago tonight!) and they pretty much sold out big venues across the board. Mainly, I love to hear me some Noel rants, like today's:

I really dislike Coldplay. There are three or four songs of theirs that I LOVE (Yellow, The Scientist, Don't Panic)- but I find them to be so off-putting and... well, boring. I work part-time in the music department at a bookstore, and every time I put that album on to try and understand what the big ****ing deal is, I practically fall asleep before I can start to contemplate it.

I hate Coldplay. Like, a whole lot. I love "In My Place" and "Trouble," but I cannot stand them other than that. I think they're vastly overrated. The fact that anyone can compare them to U2 even slightly is a ****ing joke, in my opinion. Coldplay's music just puts me asleep. It's so.. tiring.

Actually the blasphemy will cost him - One Our Father Three Hail Mary's each Saturday Night... That's from Vatican Blues - a track off of George's Brainwashed

I may just have to borrow this for my sig. May I?

Coldplay is *eh* but since day 1, it's been obvious they've been striving for the U2 sound. Didn't know they were trying to actually be U2. Insecure much, Coldplay? Get your own sound, your own groove, your own style and stop copying your idols.

Bitchy mood today..
