This is taken from the 'U2 Sucks Page':
'They just plain suck - Bono can't sing. The Edge can't play. The
rhythm section can't hold a candle to Double Trouble or any other
halfway decent rock band. How they got to be so damn popular is beyond
me.'

You call that well formulated, AND using a word like 'SUCKS' in the
first place? I don't think so!

That is why I'm saying he/she has no life. They have taken several
hours out of their life to have a go at a band. Why not spend several
hours making a web site on something you do like?

Firstly, I wrote an VERY long, intelligent email arguing every one of
her points. Hey, you would have liked it- it was well formulated! I
wasn't about to write it on this page as it was too long, instead I
just illustrated my thoughts ie- the page was a waste of time (which
it was), and the person who wrote it has no life (which they haven't).

Secondly, I'm not bothered that they don't like them. One of my
closest friends really HATES U2. If I couldn't deal with it, I
wouldn't have gone there in the first place. The thing I didn't agree
with was the complete crap like the above taken from their page. The
rhythm section can't hold a tune? HAVE YOU HEARD OF WITH OR WITHOUT
YOU? Obviously not.
I agree with some of their points, I said that in the original
message.

Well maybe you shouldn't be on this list then!
