Did they play Vertigo? And if so, how did that go down, as surely that got massive crowd interaction and a good bit of light moshing going :pac:

Yeah, maybe if he spent more time here he'd know which way the flag is meant to fly

Went down well I thought. That Get On Yer Boots nonsense was shown for how bad a song it really was tonight. It got dragged into the light of day...

Can't stand them. From the image to the names. Bono, the edge, ffs. These guys are in their fifties. Bono looking like a poor imitation of Arnie with the leathers and the sunglasses. The mans ego is stratospheric. Literally with the space station stuff.

F+ck off U2.

And they haven't written a good song since the Joshua Tree.

You're right. They should abandon the names they've had since they were kids and suddenly insist that everyone call them Paul and Dave. They should also only play sit down gigs in Vicar Street and dress sensibly.

Nothing will ever touch the Irish ability to begrudge others success.

What would you prefer? Watch Beyonce or something? This is great music! Press the red button to watch Chase and Status or something!

Will have to wait and see what sunday will bring,dont like her, dont like u2 but I think she will be better.

Ally Dick

Beyonce won't disappoint. Americans don't leave things to chance. Expect a huge band, backing dancers etc. However, she will have to do something very special to top that performance by U2

Charlie Haughy

On the red button on BBC currently is Chase and Status and Wu Tang Clan....


I cant wait for Chase at oxegen to be fair :pac:

WTF were you looking at it for then?
To come on here to bitch and moan it seems.

Personally i thought it was a pretty epic performance, no fancy backing singers or dancers, just 4 lads from Dublin rocking away,it was about music, love that music or hate it us Irish should be proud of what these lads have achieved and quit begrudging them.

just pete

maybe something exciting would happen :rolleyes:

just spotted the glastonbury thread when I opened boards.ie and had a read

That it is!
Not a fan of chase and status but looks like a super set.

Spotlight Kid seem good so far, though I do wonder what kinda twerp decides to get a hair cut like the one sported by the guitarist.

Birneybau

Is that Jimmy Page playing with Primal Scream?

Da Shins Kelly

Not the biggest U2 fan in the world, but no one does audience participation like them. They really get the crowd involved, everyone singing along and really into it. I thought it was a good set. If you don't like them, you can go and watch someone else. That's the beauty of music festivals. For fans of U2 though, I think it was a great performance.

they didn't pay any tax in ireland on their ip under artist exemption, that got abolished so they pay a dribble in netherlands now rather than nil in ireland. Hypocritical from bono, but that's business

Ofcourse not,just pretty pathetic to sit through something he/she obviously hates for two hours and then to come on to a message board to whine about how boring those two hours were. :rolleyes:

Jaysus your boring me to tears now ffs :rolleyes:

Would that not be Paul McGuinness or Ozzy Kilkenny's idea ?

mollser

Any work they do in ireland, performances,pr the like would be taxed in full. Plenty of tax due!
