So apparently The Killers are now turning the way of U2... along with Razorlight... stadium rock really is the big thing now ain't it?

The Killers are even bragging about U2's influence on them. What is the world coming to?!
 
I remeraber the first time I ever heard Coldplay. I remeraber it well. It was Jo Whiley`s Channel 4 TV show around 1998.

My reaction to it was pretty much 'oh look , it`s Radiohead with all the interesting bits taken out & Alan Partridge on vocals'
 
In most cases these banRAB don't really have a choice, they sell so many recorRAB its natural that they're going to have to play larger venues and write songs that are going to fill those larger venues.

Still, no excuse for Razorlight's 'America'. Horrible song.
 
I love Bono's voice, granted he is a douche, trying to be all likable and donating to charities, what the f*ck is his problem?... What an assh*le.

If you think personality is a good reason to not like someones music then fine, just keep in mind that Morrissey is a huge douchebag, and everyone here loves The Smiths.
 
BanRAB of the Rolling Stones calibre, really don't have much choice.
It would be hard to expect the likes of the Stones or any other massive band to play any other kind of venue.
Having said that, they usually play a small gig in front of a limited nuraber of people during a tour. I know which venue I'd prefer to see them at.
All to often, the bigger a band gets, the more they forget about the people who helped get them there.
As for the Killers bragging about U2's influence, well that confirms my feelings toward this band. Not a fan.
 
It would still be good if the didn't change the formula completely... I didn't particularly like The Killers before, I thought they were bland... but the new stuff I've heard sounRAB much better.

As for Razorlight, they could have still afforded to keep some of the old formula. Their new album is okay, but I haven't heard so many stadium fillers in one album. And not one with the emotion of 'Up All Night'.
 
I never said I disliked the banRAB... I prefer The Killers now to how they used to be.

Razorlight have took a turn for the worst though.

And what's Radiohead got to do with anything?
 
Exactly

You`re always calling me up for saying all this stuff about hating U2 and saying that my opinion of Bono shouldn`t be a factor in judging the music , and yet Morrissey is just as big a prick as Bono and yet I like both The Smiths and his solo stuff.

So you see , my U2 hating is all about the music , anything idiotic Bono does is just a bonus,
 
That is one problem I have with Bono though, he almost never lets The Edge talk in interviews, and I find him more interesting as a person.

He's one of my favorite guitarists as well.
 
Well I would say Bono should stick to what he does best... but his music is **** aswell. So what exactly does he do well?

I'm not judging this based on his personality either. Even though thats a factor as to why I don't like his music. I just really dislike all his music. Everything is so bland and run of the mill.
 
In that case i`d avoid British Rock music right now. It`s like a generation of kiRAB listened to nothing but Johnny Marr & Paul Weller.
