Seems strange that someone who obviously hates U2 would go to the bother of starting a thread about their new song.

Reminds me (verses at least) of 'We Didn't Start the Fire' ...that most popular of dittys with wedding bands* -and co-incidently my most hated song in the history of all music ever -yes ...even surpassing Yazz and the Plastic Populations' 'The Only Way Is Up' and Fairground Attractions 'Perfect'.

*...ah Bless 'em -still pushing the envelope 30 years later. Heard they were on the radio in recent days upping their Northside Dub credentials. Where's it they're from again? The mean streets of Howth?

This will in no doubt add more fuel to the so called "U2 knockers" out there!

So you don't think they're remarkably similar concepts then?

the album cover has something to do with in front of Bono's house, all he can see is the horizon of the sea meeting sky. Thats where he got the inspiration from, or so he says ;)

Is that where they built portholes for Bono so he can gaze out across the bay and sing about mountains, maybe?

Thats what I was thinking but it sounds like a very bad QOTSA, bono wrecks me head these days with all the self proclaimed rock star bull and were gonna have to listen to him for another 2 years with this album.

THe Northside Dub stuff came out at the Obama concert. I was watching it live and found it cringeworthy. Very close to we grew up in a cardoard box and look at us now.

gets interesting 2:15 in... what a c*ck

Am I missing something here?
Doesn't that article state the album cover is based on work by a Japanese photographer?
Which I just read is this one.

Given U2 have admitted as much, isn't Deupree more guilty of plagiarism then? His is even more of a rip-off.

Actually they are from

Larry - Artane

Bono - Glasnevin

Adam and The Edge are from Malahide.

So they are all from the Northside. He never said they were poor on the northside. Just that they were from the Northside of Dublin.

interesting enough song but not my cuppa tea.

I thinks its awful,not a patch on some of their other (better) stuff.
