That? Makes me laugh.

I like The Killers as much as the next person. For now. Give me a week or so, I'll be sick of them. They lack a little depth. And how about we get another album before we decide they'll be as big as a band that's been around for decades, mmkay?

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

He said the same thing about Franz Ferdinand (who I hope are as big as U2) and gushed over them at the Grammy's. Bono's a twat. I loved it a couple of weeks ago when he gushed over Dubya's wit and dedication to AIDS and Africa.

On another note, I ****ing hate The Killers as much as I hate Coldplay.

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..

I thought the same thing when I read it. I like Coldplay, but they still have to survive at least other 20 years to start making comparisons.

toooo funny, i loved oasis when they 1st came out, & the statement they made was so ignorant of them~ i stopped listening them, becaues it seems their onstage antics & in-fighting between the brothers were ridiculous you heard more about that than any new music from them ~

Hmm. Well, I thought Gwyneth and Chris used the "apple of my eye" excuse?

[dreamongypsydkm]

It's true that Chris Martin is influenced by U2. I read somewhere that he played "A Sort of Homecoming" for his daughter Apple every day before she was born. And then I read in the Entertainment Weekly with them on the cover (the cover says "The Next U2?") that their new album is supposed to be like "The Unforgettable Fire", a statement which I couldn't disagree more with. I don't hate them, but what a ridiculous comparison! Chris Martin hasn't come close to achieving the same recognition as Bono.
Oh, and Bono says a lot of things - he thinks The Killers and Franz Ferdinand will become the next U2. He's high, in my opinion.
To say there will be another U2 is ridiculous. Things shouldn't be compared like that.

THAT must be why they're charging close to $80 for tickets! I couldn't believe it when I tried to get tickets for their tour this summer... I was expecting the tickets to be about $30. Totally outrageous!
