| Royal Tenenbaum | I also really liked POP. Completely under-rated, and my favourite U2 album. | |

| sloth | You should check out wire, television or gang of four if you like the clash. Havent got anything against U2 really, except that bono character keeps twatting about trying to save the world and make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race. I get him mixed up with sting a lot. | |

Apparently Henry Rollins at one point said that "The Clash are what U2 really wanted to be". This provides for even more reasons to hate U2, seeing how The Clash weren't that great to begin with. Also from the sale article: Quote:
U2 are jerks and only canadians with problems like them. |

Negativland's deconstruction of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (with special guest vocalist Casey Kasem) is one of the most hilarious musical expriences EVER. |

| Royal Tenenbaum | U2 are very enjoyable and I don't blame them for not want their stuff on some shitty labels shit. | |

I think that gravity song constitutes as a good reason to hate U2 as well. And let's not forget that Edge used to wear surgical masks on live shows. What a poser, huh? U2 are jerks!

| Dole | His is face is too big for one thing. Bloody big faced bastard. And he is always going to the UN or some such with a petition asking everyone to hold hands. And I bet they did know about Negativland. But that was YEARS AGO. | |

| Perndog | Ditto. I doubt the band found out about the issue before you did. | |

| Royal Tenenbaum | No, their record company is. | |

The U2 Are Jerks Thread Everybody knows that. But we need proof! So everybody should supply every little bit of information that puts U2 into a negative light in this thread. Here, I'll start. http://www.swcp.com/rtoads/printmag/.../neg_data.html August 20, 1991: SST Records releases a CD single by Negativland called "U2", a tape-collage parody of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" featuring sampled and scrambled portions of the U2 song itself and a found tape of radio personality Casey Kasem losing his cool. As part of the joke, the CD packaging features the title--the letter "U" and the numeral "2"--largely and prominently with the attribution "Negativland" in much smaller letters below it. October 5, 1991: two weeks later, a federal judge issues a temporary restraining order at the behest of Island Records and Warner-Chappell Music. "Preferring retreat to total annihilation," Negativland and SST immediately capitulate to every demand. These demands are: Everyone who received a copy of the record--reviewers, record stores, radio stations, etc.--must be notified to return it. If they fail to comply, they may be subject to penalties "which may include imprisonment and fines". Once returned, the records will be forwarded to Island for destruction. All of SST's on-hand stock of the record--in vinyl, cassette, and CD--is to be delivered to Island, where it will be destroyed. All mechanical parts used to prepare and manufacture the record are to be delivered to Island, presumably also for destruction. This includes "all tapes, stampers, molds, lacquers and other parts used in the manufacturing" and "all artwork, labels, packaging, promotional, marketing, and advertising or similar material." Negativland's copyrights in the recordings themselves are assigned to Island and Warner-Chappell. Negativland no longer own what they have created. Negativland and SST must pay $25,000 and half the wholesale proceeds from the copies of the record that were sold and not returned. Estimated cost to Negativland is $70,000--more than they have made in their 14 years of existence. Haha aren't U2 jerks? |
