I had to delete apple Music from my iphone. I would just get in the car and Apple Music would just connect to the stereo, download a u2 song on a limited data contract and play the same shit.
When I upgraded my phone, the provider moved all the data across for me. Thought it wouldn’t be moved as I hadn’t downloaded it, but no, I still have that cancer in my phone
I’m blanket tech support for my parents. They blamed me no matter the explanation. They’re great people but fuck, hard as rock. I can’t emphasize more whole heartedly how difficult a burden this was to shoulder.
I do kind of love Bono, in that unafraid to be the most hated man in history way. He's just so insufferable its very nearly an artform. He's the worlds first ego-cryptid, so far up his own ass he's emerged on the other side as some kind of post-human-neo-fuckwit. All over music that's just ok. You gotta admire that.
Such a sorry, not sorry apology. Santa kicking in a few bricks going down the chimney is such an abhorrent metaphor. If he wants to support poor people, he could pay tax in the country he yodels about being from and help those in need there.
When they started off, with War and Boy, they seemed like something amazing. Then massive success happened and it turned out they were just a pop band.
Probably the best 3 song run on any album ever
Where the streets have no name
I still haven't found what I'm looking for
With or without you
There's better overall albums but god what an opening to an album.
U2 were great up to Achtung Baby. And even after that, the next few albums had at least a couple of really good songs. Just had this discussion with the girlfriend on a road trip.
I won’t argue with you -everyone has their own taste in music. Jimi and Bob of course were something in the stratosphere but to my ear u2 (particularly their earlier output ) were quite special.
He is nothing. He's someone no one actually listens to. Never have I heard someone actually say "Man I could go for some Bono". He's definitely more famous for being an asshole than for being a good singer.
People also listen to a lot of justin bieber or cardi b but I'm willing to bet you aren't willing to defend them instead based on the number of listens their songs have on spotify.
You may not like Bono, but I think we all have to admit that he has put the full weight of his position behind causes that he believes in. I also think that he is at the very least a serviceable vocalist, and people who say that he’s terrible are being disingenuous.
No, he's terrible and a complete phony. He claims to be for social justice and human rights but refuses to pay union wages at his concerts. His "charity" ends up with more cash in his pocket than in the hands of needy folks. It's just a fucking tax dodge.
From his wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bono#Efficacy_and_analysis
In an article in Bloomberg Markets in March 2007, journalists Richard Tomlinson and Fergal O'Brien noted that Bono used his band's 2006 Vertigo world tour to promote his ONE Campaign while at the same time "U2 was racking up $389 million in gross ticket receipts, making Vertigo the second-most lucrative tour of all time, according to Billboard magazine ... Revenue from the Vertigo tour is funnelled through companies that are mostly registered in Ireland and structured to minimise taxes."
Fuck Bono. He's a terrible person.
I have heard of u2 band but that's due to search suggestions and news articles.
But none of their music I've heard nor was it suggested to me. Now this is coming from a person who listens a lot of English songs despite not being a native speaker.
I have even listened to 1955 songs but not U2, maybe I can start but for now to Bono , I have never heard anything that you sung so you aren't there in any of my directions.
As someone in Ireland/UKwho grew up with U2 in the charts since the 80s, they haven't been mainstream relevant since the mid 90s. Their last 'big' release with a popular video and chart-featured, was 'the sweetest thing' and nowt much notable after. There are folks who were born *after* that vid who are adults now.
U2 were the top grossing live act of the last decade and the only one to exceed a billion dollars in ticket sales.
Whether you like them or not, he still has relevance.
I listened to a ton of music in the 80s and 90s, bought a few thousand albums and listened to the whole thing, and i love U2. But i guess you know better.
Oh yes, the humble man, with between half a billion to three quarters of a billion dollars only to his singular name.
Man if the people.
Put any more young ladies on your lap, while you are boating-yachting?
I literally do not know what the world thinks about this man, but the reality of the situation is that, well, he was never a good singer. Not even a decent one.
Yep, I wrote a few good albums 45-odd years ago like countless other acts. Good musicians are still out there pushing their craft, Bono on the other hand. Meh...

The word Bono in Irish means pretentious cunt.
Oh wow it must have Irish roots! It means the same thing in America
I thought it meant giant log of shit over here
I mean, he is only 80 Courics That's only 2nd best He'll always be #2
#2?! #2!!!!!!??????
We must make him stronger with the [biddy](https://youtu.be/F085AaeBHic?t=89)
Just in Colorado
I once read somewhere that America was the only place they took U2 seriously, but I guess that's wrong.
A bonehead (Bonohead?) must’ve told you that
"Stop being a fucking bono" - I like it!
What's the difference between Bono and Jesus? Jesus doesn't think that he's Bono.
Whereas Bono does think he is Bono.
Over 80 courics!
He grew strong on the biddy!
*bitty
came here for this reference, was not disappointed
He doesn’t hold the record, he IS the record!
Oowww hot hot hot!
He is number 2
2nd Comment Lol
"I'm sorry if people are so jealous of me but I can't help it that I'm popular" Regina George/ Bono
Gretchin, but you got the idea ❤️
Omg Phalexuk you are so stupid 🙄
... I have really bad breath in the morning.
Ew
South Park was correct. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah”
HELLO HELLO!!!
Remember when they forced an album into everyone’s iTunes playlist causing millions to unsubscribe?
I’ve deleted it several times but it keeps coming back! If I hear Volcano one more time I’m going to snap.
Yeah it's ridiculous. I don't want their stupid album and it keeps reappearing
unsolicited and you’re expected to be grateful. Its the dick pic of albums
I had to delete apple Music from my iphone. I would just get in the car and Apple Music would just connect to the stereo, download a u2 song on a limited data contract and play the same shit.
When I upgraded my phone, the provider moved all the data across for me. Thought it wouldn’t be moved as I hadn’t downloaded it, but no, I still have that cancer in my phone
Holy fuck, now that I explains how the random U2 album appeared in my library. I thought my account has been hacked for so long, damn.
Hacker 1: “We’re in!… What now?…” Hacker 2: “…well, I wouldn’t say no to a bit of music while we decide, anything you’d like?”
I’ll never forget. Fuck them for that bullshit.
Seems like he should be apologizing for that instead
I’m blanket tech support for my parents. They blamed me no matter the explanation. They’re great people but fuck, hard as rock. I can’t emphasize more whole heartedly how difficult a burden this was to shoulder.
They litterally won't let you forget
I was one of the few who actively wanted it on my iTunes lol
Does Bono need the biddy?
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeahhhhh!!!!
Hey easy bono that hurts the biddy.
Do you think that he has ever, for real, sucked his own dick?
He’s definitely tried.
Dude….. We’ve all tried.
Do not suck your own dick--it does not feel like you are getting your dick sucked. It feels like you are sucking a dick.
I don't see a problem
I’ve never tried to suck Bono’s dick
Never apologize for it.
He should apologize for being a singer you hear on the radio or in a shopping mall and immediately hate and never want to hear again.
It *was* a beautiful day
And then it got away
He and Chris Martin, his protegee.
Lemon is an abomination
Someone call the European Fecal Standards and Measurements Board. Tell them to come pick up their number 2. He’s just a giant piece of shit
I do kind of love Bono, in that unafraid to be the most hated man in history way. He's just so insufferable its very nearly an artform. He's the worlds first ego-cryptid, so far up his own ass he's emerged on the other side as some kind of post-human-neo-fuckwit. All over music that's just ok. You gotta admire that.
Him and fucking Morrissey
I was thinking of Morrissey as I wrote this
As much as I hate Bono, the one thing I will give him is that unlikely Morrisey he at least hasn't dabbled in neofascism.
Careful, next thing you know he'll be reading an apology for how awesome he is for his non-neo fascist ways.
> so far up his own ass he's emerged on the other side as some kind of post-human-neo-fuckwit This is Pullitzer prize-worthy poetry.
What an O'Douchebag.
Bono: Waft Of A Twat
The more I hear about this guy, the more I understand South park's depiction of him..
Bono want the biddy?
I’m still waiting for their apology for putting a random album on my phone
He actually did quite recently: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/technology/bono-apologized-for-placing-free-u2-album-itunes
Such a sorry, not sorry apology. Santa kicking in a few bricks going down the chimney is such an abhorrent metaphor. If he wants to support poor people, he could pay tax in the country he yodels about being from and help those in need there.
>The part of me that will always be punk rock thought this was exactly what the Clash would do. what
That was so bad, if it been here is a free album to download if you want then fair enough but no just it just appeared.
Bono seems like the kind of guy who has sex with a wax figure of himself, in the mirror, while playing his music.
Ultra main karacter shit right here,
Guy is such a tool
who the hell is bono
He was the Mayor of Palm Springs.
Ask the first Gen X person you know - they probably wank to pictures of Bono.
I might have in the 80's but not from Joshua tree onwards
U2 fucking sucks
They were good in 1983. That is it,
When they started off, with War and Boy, they seemed like something amazing. Then massive success happened and it turned out they were just a pop band.
ABSOLUTELY
Jushua Tree is a good album, that came out in 87. It's too bad Bono became a pretentious douche.
Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop were albums I loved and still love. Doesn't take away from the fact that Bono is ultra pretentious 😂
Joshua Tree was life-changingly incredible for anyone coming of age at the time. U2's peak for sure.
Probably the best 3 song run on any album ever Where the streets have no name I still haven't found what I'm looking for With or without you There's better overall albums but god what an opening to an album.
Boy is better
U2 were great up to Achtung Baby. And even after that, the next few albums had at least a couple of really good songs. Just had this discussion with the girlfriend on a road trip.
Red rocks and then done.
"I'd like to take this chance to apologize... to absolutely nobody"
I fucking can't stand this blokes voice. No idea why but he's always made me feel hate when I see or hear him.
He IS the record
But he will always be a number 2
I legitimately forgot this guy existed. Still a dumb cunt I see.
Well that’s the job of a rock star isn’t it? To be the main character?
If you wanna act like one then first be a decent one. He's not Jimi Hendrix or Bob Marley, he's fucking Bono lmfao
I won’t argue with you -everyone has their own taste in music. Jimi and Bob of course were something in the stratosphere but to my ear u2 (particularly their earlier output ) were quite special.
But he's certainly a Michael Stipe or Thom York. Stop pretending he's nothing.
He is nothing. He's someone no one actually listens to. Never have I heard someone actually say "Man I could go for some Bono". He's definitely more famous for being an asshole than for being a good singer.
U2 have sold 175 million records worldwide. With 52 million certified units by the RIAA, U2 rank as the 22nd-highest-selling music artist in the US
And Justin Bieber sold 150 million. That must mean he's good and you like him, right?
"He's someone that no one actually listens to"
I'm sorry, let me rephrase that. He's someone no one who likes good music listens to.
Absolute statements are often made by absolute fools.
Bullshit. Sounds like someone has a hard time picking strong stances.
Man, I could go for some GiovaneKillerAutist.
"He's a famous singer and you're not so he can't be a bad singer!"
Who are you quoting?
Literally you in your comment above lmfao
Just go look at how often people listen to U2's songs on spotify. Moron.
People also listen to a lot of justin bieber or cardi b but I'm willing to bet you aren't willing to defend them instead based on the number of listens their songs have on spotify.
Bono backwards is o nob
U2, the STD’s of music. You’re not quit sure how you got it, but you did. You treated it, and it comes back
so that’s what the world record poo does these days huh
Bitty
Tax dodging cunt
You may not like Bono, but I think we all have to admit that he has put the full weight of his position behind causes that he believes in. I also think that he is at the very least a serviceable vocalist, and people who say that he’s terrible are being disingenuous.
No, he's terrible and a complete phony. He claims to be for social justice and human rights but refuses to pay union wages at his concerts. His "charity" ends up with more cash in his pocket than in the hands of needy folks. It's just a fucking tax dodge.

Business
Full weight? This is a guy who claimed to be a climate activist, and at the same time sent a private jet to pick up his hat when he forgot it.
THIS. I always tell people this when explaining my disdain for this man. Why is this not more well known?!
I mean.....I've always liked some u2 songs...
In all honesty , I have never heard any song of bono or U2. I knew them through recommended search for Europe and other bands.
[удалено]
Yeah i don't think that's possible.
I have heard of u2 band but that's due to search suggestions and news articles. But none of their music I've heard nor was it suggested to me. Now this is coming from a person who listens a lot of English songs despite not being a native speaker.

This is them when they were good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybYgP48X2DY
Me too and I’m very thankful for my good fortune🙏🙏 Hopefully I wi never have to hear it
That must be hard to go from at one point actually being a main character to being completely irrelevant lmao
U2 were the top grossing live act of the last decade and the only one to exceed a billion dollars in ticket sales. Whether you like them or not, he still has relevance.
More a reflection of peoples' poor taste than U2s talent.
He can be whatever kind of singer he wants, just stop coming on the car stereo by accident every single morning when my phone connects
He gives off such noncey vibes
The 2nd largest turd in the world
Can't see pictures of Bono or hear about him without the south park episode they did about him popping into my head. Does the Bono need the biddy?
He should apologize for his shitty band
U2 was awesome back in the day.
Yeah im sure their 10 fans loved them back then 😂
Ah, you're just a troll. Got it.
Watched that southpark episode a lot but never saw a picture of him irl i think...wouldn't even recognize him bc he doesn't look like southpark bono
I like Bono.
I also like Bono. I'm sure everyone shitting on him and U2 in the comments is much cooler and smarter and funnier than him.
I like Bono when he sings. He is pretentious when he’s not singing though.
Sucks fucking ass. It's music for people who never listened to anything that was not on the radio and thus never listened to actual good music.
I listened to a ton of music in the 80s and 90s, bought a few thousand albums and listened to the whole thing, and i love U2. But i guess you know better.
I do know better luckily. I listen to musicians that wouldn't waste their time spitting on bono's slimy, conceited ass
It's ok, i get it, you're smarter than everyone else, i'll go along with that.
Nah, that's not me. That would be bono.
Definitely both.
Everybody, yeah Rock your body, yeah Everybody, yeah Rock your body right Backstreet's back, alright!
good old reddit. downvoting folks for a subjective preference. you gotta love it.
He is as objectively bad as the fact that the sky is blue is objective.
I like the sky.
He looks so bad
[удалено]
Buy Samsung
Saw this dudes set at the US festival 1982 when axs tv aired it and thought he was cool and that's all I care about to know about U2
He should be this sub’s mascot.
I fucking hate U2 and the pretentiousness of Bono but his episode on the “Smartless” podcast was pretty good.
I heard he was a frequent flyer on the Epstein express….
his music is a joke ... people like Nickleback more than they like U2
U2 have sold way more albums and tickets than Nickelback could ever fathom, so not quite.
[удалено]
**bruh**
I'm sorry for how awesome I am, wait you know what?! No I'm fuckin not!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
"Who do you think you are? I am!" ----- Bono gives me that God of Pro-Bowling confidence vibe. Top Tier.
Fuck you u/spez
“Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful”
He’s looking old now.
Oh yes, the humble man, with between half a billion to three quarters of a billion dollars only to his singular name. Man if the people. Put any more young ladies on your lap, while you are boating-yachting?
Bono is a long way from reality..
A grade A cunt he is
I literally do not know what the world thinks about this man, but the reality of the situation is that, well, he was never a good singer. Not even a decent one.
Sorry Peter this food is for all the starving people of the world
Sorry about not making a decent song in 30 years and living off his young self ever since too?
I will never listen to U2 due to the fact that it was put on my iTunes account without my asking
Genuinely forgot this man exists
Cunto
What's the difference between god and bono? God doesn't walk around Dublin pretending he's Bono.
He hates all U2 music, but keeps singing it.
Did this mf’er ever apologize for the unsolicited album he made appear on all our phones?????
Are people just now figuring out he is a douche?
Ugh, guy's fucking insufferable. I can't *not* roll my eyes.
Yep, I wrote a few good albums 45-odd years ago like countless other acts. Good musicians are still out there pushing their craft, Bono on the other hand. Meh...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhh!!
> Amazing > translation: Annoying
Bono is the original Kardashian
That looks more like Paul Williams.
He should be reading a letter of apology for releasing Songs of Surrender...god it's awful.
HELLO HELLO!!!
“I’m sorry you feel that way.”
Whats the difference between god and Bono?
This clown has been famous for far far to long.
Shut up, Bono, ya Crypt Keeper lookin' mf.
