If we could all have that luxury, i think we would, saves that annoying tuning between songs that us 'local' bands have to tolerate. Thats probably more the reason than showing off the arsenal, i think we all know the multi, multi millionaire clayton, probably has a few nice basses!! Personally, i thought they were good, for a bunch of late 40's guys, i think they can still do it, lots of variety, great sound, mixed up the tracks, so they werent just played as the album tracks, plenty of energy, astronauts?, what more do you want?, I'm not their biggest fan by the way, but thought they were head and shoulders above the other sh*te i've heard today, if thats the best of todays music, then no wonder U2 are still going strong!

stingrayPete1977 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Bono sounded a bit pap to me? I guess the weather knocked them back a bit compared to a bunch of young pups with something to prove.

JTUK Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hmmm..my basses don't go out of tune in a set... so that wouldn't be a reason to change them..but I guess it is quicker to have them re-tuned by the tech..than have to bother yourself The main reason they change basses would be sound or playability for that particular track..but anyway..the whim is theirs for whatever reason. I'd would be more concerned about a supposed headline act doing the same set that they have always done...forever and a day. Obviously song choices change but the treatemnet of the song never does or can..as they are still a basic 4 piece. It is quite unusual for a major act to not augment/change the empahsias on a song throughout the years..or even re-invent to freshen things up... In that respect U2 were dull..and the performance average. Even if major major acts..and U2 should be at that level, in term of stature..... have to play crowd faves/hits, they haven't botherered about the songs.. I can't think of any act that would be so lax and basic. That is why they deserve a panning, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The man on the telly has just called Cee Lo Green 'One of the great modern day soul voices'. Now, my knowledge of modern music isn't great, but Jesus... is he the best we can do? Tell me it ain't so... I like his outfit, though. Fair play to him for wearing that.

AndyTravis Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I thought U2 did ok, Clayton is not a bad bass player at all, no Wooten but who gives a f***? His choice of bass was better than his choice of clothing, but again who cares? Bono is offensive, but U2 are still good. Morrissey was good, and good call on the 4040 I spotted it too. Mani really looked wired, but the Epi sounded fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
