1. cause the melvins never wrote 'Vertigo'
2. cause Buzz doesn't suck everyone's dick like Bono.
Good god do i hate the music u2 is making...
Anyone ever hear " U2 " by Negativeland? Now that's something that should get posted somewhere!
Melvins eat aren't vegetarians 8)

Cool. I didn't think they were still around. Green Honey your discs go out tomorrow.
Quote from: DeleriumMelvins eat aren't vegetarians 8)
Yah, I hate it when people eat is vegetarians.
I see no correlation between the Melvins and U2. But I'm bored so I will post. I truely think it is a matter of preference. Sunday Bloody Sunday is a damn cool song. Alot of their stuff they were putting out then is pretty cool & original. I also have a hard time calling them sellouts or whatever. They have just become boring and preachy. The albums from War to The Joshua Tree were pretty groundbreaking. Even Achtung Baby was pretty solid. In my opinion, though, I would take the Melvins all day, everyday. I dont even own a U2 album.
ain't no correlation, i just think U2 suck so damn bad. Good grief, do they ever suck now.
Those old albums are ok at best. I've listened to em and I have Joshua Tree but the new stuff sucks. Daniel Lanois saved that album.
anyway, this should be about how the melvins are better than U2
so post ways if you got em.
Dale is king, larry sucks.
I don't own anything by U2 either. I had a copy of War when it came out, but I was like in 8th grade. Listen to the first PIL album and hear where the Edge got his guitar style-it's Keith Levene all the way baby.
Known most for his early membership in the Clash and also for his slicing, slashing guitar work with Public Image Limited, Keith Levene is one of the more overlooked key players of punk and post-punk, not only as an innovative guitar player but also as a major factor in punk's sound collision with reggae. Since leaving PiL during the making of their fourth record, Levene has worked sporadically, popping up every now and then with a new project.
Bizarrely enough, the punk pioneer got his start in music as a roadie for Yes in the early '70s. Through a former schoolmate, Levene weaseled his way into helping Alan White
Holy crap! Thank you very much Cliff Klaven. Seriously man, are you into PIL? Have you heard " Radioaxiom " by Jah Wobble/Bill Laswell? Got anything for trade?
On an unrelated note it is now Summer in Antarctica.

Uhhhh, ever see an overated TV program called " Cheers " ?
Quote from: DubEMCUhhhh, ever see an overated TV program called " Cheers " ?
Yep. Just fuckin' around.
this thread sucks
I'm just glad the melvins are around so we're not all forced to listen to U2. I know it pleases some, it just disgusts me. That song Vertigo is the worst song in rock. Those asinine lyrics....blah
Sure the thread sucks, so why start it. Actually I wouldn't spend so much time and energy on why U2 sucks, I would just ignore them.
Man U2 suck so bad - bono has the most over-inflated ego of all time. The name of their new album i cant even mention it is the gayest, most try-hard album name i have heard in my whole life...
... oooo yea this album sounds like wot happens when you try and dismantle an atomic bomb - its just that powerful!!!! It could kill 100000 people in Japan even.
And that song vertigo sounds almost exactly like an old pop-song - 'You keep me hanging on' - and when i hear it i am always amazed that i can sing the old pop song over it almost note for note.

This is a good thread - get some frustration out. Their should be more threads like this.
i hate U2 too but the #1 spot on my worst-brit-pop-bands-of-all-time-list is for keane atm, closely followed by coldplay. now there's some whiney boring music. i don't understand why people like that sort of garbage
radio stations seem to love it tho

Yep. They suck. They are a joke. they take themselves to serious. By the way: Is the guitar player gay? I don
the only PIL album i own is flowers of romance, any recommendations on what to pick up next?

thats fucking funny.
wouldnt you say that Melvins are the opposite of U2?
think of how much you see and hear U2 on TV and radio. a fucking I-pod commercial? Bono, do you really need
more money?
Fuck U2 and Mother Fuck Lenny Kravitz.

ahahahah. My sister just told how she likes the band Keane. I told her I'd never heard of them but they must suck total ass. If they sound like shittey coldplay then they must suck.
while listening to "vertigo" on the ipod commercial i realized that it has almost an identical singing melody to sonic youth's Dirty Boots!! it is so sickening. they totally ripped them off. listen to it and you'll see. especially like the third line when the music changes a bit and he says something about "jellyroll"
someone listen to it and write back because i want to see how much it disgusts other people.
Quote from: TosTthe only PIL album i own is flowers of romance, any recommendations on what to pick up next?
Second Edition and then Public Image Limited ( First Issue ) in that order. That's really all you'll need!
thanks man!
what about metal box? i haven't heard it
just for the record, the song sunday bloody sunday sucks as well
Quote from: TosTthanks man!

Second Edition is the US version of Metal Box w/ the same material. Metal Box was a very limited edition of 3 12'' discs in a metal film can.
Shouldn't even be discussed. It's like saying eating a steak is better than eating a fresh turd.
I fucking hate U2 and their fans with a passion. I love how those fucks are on network TV every 5 minutes plugging their new shit w/ the ipod. Those fucking whores don't have enough fans and money?, they have to advertise on TV? Die, Bono, die.

I noticed that! I'm not really disgusted cos it's par for the course for those dickheads. Those twats grooving along on the ipod advert are pretty disgusting.
This thread is now about rollercosters.
(http://www.vegas-online.de/images/rollercoster.jpg)
Yeah, I lost all faith in U2 once I saw that iPod commercial. :cry:
Holy fuck...that rollercoster is really high.
thank you delerium for changing the subject...but I'm glad so many people agree with me. However, this thread should be in the all things not Melvins section. I was hoping it could have more to do with the melvins and less with U2.
The song Pigs Of The Roman Empire is a truly magnificient song. I would even say it is one the the Best Melvins' songs (gasp....did I really say that??)
???????????????????????????

melvins trump rollercoasters.
I was reading this one a few weeks back.
Fuggin' hilarious! :lol:
I still love U2's earliest stuff.
That's;
Boy
October
War
Under A Blood Red Sky (live)
The Unforgettable Fire (except In The Name Of Love - enough of that fucking song, already!)
Wide Awake In America (2 great b-sides, 2 great live songs)
A few things on The Joshua Tree (God's Country, Bullet The Blue Sky, absolutely not the 3 interchangeable hit songs from hell, with dumb videos!)
The In The Name Of Love / 3 interchangeable dumbass hits
from The Joshua Tree marked the end of what was
a truly promising band in the early 80's.
Just bumping this thread because it's been a decade,
and while the Melvins get better all the time,
U2 gets exponentially worse all the time!
Bono is the definition of sucky, ass-hat,
douchebag, preachy, politically correct has-been,
who needs to go away and swim in his $$$$ like Scrooge McDuck! :x

Let me put it this way...

This is you working as the archaeologist of the forum.
Thanks. I guess. I've started to wonder in my old age,
are Archaeologists just fancy grave robbers? :P
p.s., surely roller coasters have advanced in the last decade?
Have they not? I don't know, not my deal.

Keep up the good work, Indy! Half the threads you've unearthed I've never read.

:D I also found this one interesting, because it's the first one I've seen with no beto, Glen, Conda or Grim. Just a strange coincidence, I guess.

I'm actually a big fan of the Zooropa album (I still play that album about once a year). Of course that album is over 20 years old now and they haven't put out a decent thing since...

Yeah, most people think that release was a Lemon.
Anyone ever heard The Fly single?
It's pretty slick, with a remix and a vignette called "Alex Descends Into Hell For A Bottle Of Milk".
That's a reference to A Clockwork Orange.
