6. Is he a music critic or could his rage be focused
into something a little more productive?

2. wow.
You know, I've read this and that by this Maddox character before, and he's really just a dick. Not even a creative one at that-- most of the things he writes are things that 5th graders would think are hilarious.

Just sounds like another bitter guy with an internet connection and a basic understanding of HTML who likes to hear himself talk, and puts it online.

5. Wait, you know what, Maddox is right
"So let me get this straight: U2's "triumphant return to its rock and roll roots" includes a teary song about his dad's struggle with cancer? Rock on you frauds."

He's so absolutely right, music is no place to express emotion, or to convey an idea, and it shouldn't EVER make people want to listen to it because it sounds good.

7. "triumphant return to its rock and roll roots" signifies something other
than the type of song maddox listed, which was hilarious :rofl:

11. Right, music isn't about feeling good, or emotion, or
telling evocative stories, making social commentary, or.. wait..
I've never been a hardcore fan, but I think there are far worse bands making a ton of money. Had the opportunity to do 4 shows with U2 when they were wee lads. Dec. 1980, first American tour, Boston, Providence, Philly, New Haven. Confirmed the dates by comparing my hotel itinerary I found in a drawer to the dates on their website.

10. U2 actually only has two songs
The fast one where the Edge plays that note fast and Bono moans.

The slow one where the Edge plays that note slowly and Bono moans.
