Who are better Glasto Headliners: U2 or Gorillaz?

[Flying Pig]

What's wrong with comparing Albarn to Bowie? Regardless of the difference in volume and quality of output, both of them are real innovators.

 

 

It's beginning to feel like the ending of The Omega Man where people believe that they are normal when in fact they are all decaying zombies.

 

 

 

"Ground control to Major Tom...." = Instantly recognised as brilliant.

"I've got sunshine in a bag, I'm useless" = No shit, straight for the horses mouth. Get it off your chest Damon.

[Flying Pig]

Woo has just pm'd me to stay he agrees with me and U2 are indeed ace. However, he says he will not admit it on this website. His secret is safe with me.

[Fugitive]

U2.... living of the same sounding Guitar riffs since time began.

 

Bono is a huuuuuuuuuuge twat of a man and the rest of the band a pretentious cunts.

 

Quite like the Gorillaz and they are far more relevant at the moment.

I wonder whether anyone will remember them/him in 25 years (or minutes) like U2?

[WaltonRed]

I'm off to see the Bootleg Beatles me thinks.

U2 just rehash the same bland sounds over and over again. They have done nothing of note for fucking ages. The Gorillaz are doing stuff at the minute which is a bit different and far more creative.

 

Just because U2 will be remembered in 25 years does not make them as relevant as what the Gorillaz are today.

Does that mean Gorillaz are more relevant than The Beatles, based on that assumption?

The Beatles are a different animal altogether... they actually varied their sound.

 

Bono just like to shout 'Yeah, yeah, yeah' while Edge plays basically the same riff in every song.

[Fugitive]

To be honest, the Gorillaz are probably more relevant to TODAYS music than the Beatles are. Does that mean they are better? No.

[The-Sir]

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAHHHHH!!!!

[Johnni]

pissed on.

 

Pissed on obviously, if the birds fit enough you actually gain a lot from it, being shat on would always be unpleasent.

 

Well that's 2 votes for Gorillaz then, either way you still don't want either of the 2 options.

[James]

Gorillaz. No-brainer.

[Woo]

Quality comic from today's Times on the subject;

 

[Thants]

Some people are happy to listen to a band that doesn't change their sound or be experimental or innovative. The rest of us have grown out of Oasis and U2.

 

Me fucking yow.

I fucking love Radiohead & Pearl Jam, my 2 top all time favourite bands. However i consider Radiohead the best band of the last 20yrs cos they constantly changed their sound and what they produced has been exceptional also. Pearl Jam on the other hand for the past 3 or so albums are basically putting out the same old sound and it sounds so tired.

Pearl Jam fit into the same U2 category of a great early catalogue yet poor new material.

Nicely done.

People still remember Joe Dolce 25 years later.

[Fugitive]

Chas and Dave are still remembered by a lot of people as well.

[Remmie]

Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I give you:

 

A mole! Digging in a hole! Digging up my soul!

 

Hmmm

Guffaw!

“Constantly changed their sound”, ya having a laugh Pal.

 

In 20 years they have changed from grim to miserable.

Radiohead play music for ugly bores who can’t dance or pull at parties.

Their albums and tedious videos are a colonic sack of maudlin melodies masquerading as art.

 

Life-sapping nails-on-blackboard masochism for pretentious poseurs, too unsophisticated to appreciate Faure’s Requiem and naff enough to confuse their dire dirge with meaningful social commentary.

Radiohead are so bad they make U2 sound almost enjoyable.

 

I feel so much better for typing that.

Off to work with a blast of Metallica on full volume.

Can’t wait.

Oh plewggs, and to think you were a hidden gem on the gf . . .

Yes, Radiohead are pretentious and dire and the Smiths are depressing and other wrong lazy labels . . .

It took me while to want to get into Radiohead as they're not that accessable but when I did I was rewarded with something special.

As for Metallica? That's Jazz bad.

[theghost]

Never insult jazz.

 

Also, the GF has saved more monkeys than Bono. Fuck him. The Cunt.

[dirty_sanchez]

So to sum up, Bono is a cunt?

[Xherdan]

Bono is not just a cunt but an ubercunt of epic proportions and I for one am happy that he put his back out. Good enough for the cunt I say.

[dirty_sanchez]

It's a shame he didn't dislocate his vocal cords.
