U2 r not gothic nor were they ever gothic. they were a christian post-punk band. now theyre jst old christians. Mission were a Gothic band period. no argument. and they did change their sound once, what u nvr heard "Masque"? lol
I like the early postpunk'ish U2, during the 70s and 80s. While I agree they pretty much suck now, they were pretty good back then. I stopped liking them after Achtung Baby.
Went up to what I seem to remember as the Palladium in the early 90's to see a free KROQ show, then the band broke up and the night show was cancelled, does that seem right? Been a long time, my memory may be way off.....
The free show was at the Palace. It was one of Kroq's free noontime concerts, and it was definitely in the afternoon. My friend and I went back to the evening show, got there early, and witnessed Craig Adams storming off down Vine St on foot! We figured there would be no show, but the guitar tech stepped in and stayed in the shadows, and the show went on. Many people didnt even realize the shake-up
i love the mission. and i respect their decision to stick to their sound.. its a difficult thing to decide on but they did. and i totally admire them and respect them for it.. new wave.. the music i grew up in.. and the music i still have been living in..
U2's music has evolved. it is not to say that they betrayed what they believed in, or what they stood for.. fact is, they are still there for everything that they believed in.. the difference is that, they had to evolve.. their music had to evolve.. yes they may sound different to what new wave used to sound.. its something i dislike.. dont get me wrong. but i had to accept the fact that they decided to move on rather than remain as dinosaurs to the music industry.
the mission legacy still lives on. in reverence their albums are featured on gothic rock trumps ive now listed on ebay includes 28 albums by 20 bands from 80's.includes the damned/sisters/bauhaus/cult.
I couldn't agree more, Bono & U2 are total shite and I'll never understand why people still love them so much, especially in Ireland, where I live. If we wanna talk abt a great Irish band, let's talk abt Thin Lizzy, U2 is nothing compared to Lizzy! Anyway, The Mission still rocks, they're -were, SOB-one of the greatest bands in the UK.
It was in 1986 when i first heard wasteland. I remember my sony walkman listening to this song several times.The best music for me was in the 80's. One of the best bands like Ten Ten, The name, The mission, The chameleons, The church etc...

This band were never really that good, not that they lacked the talent, apart from a few songs nothing really gelled, shame they couldn't have settled their differences with
Yeah I saw the mission earlier this year. They were ok until they bought on an old member of the band. A case of two many cooks! - The concert went downhill and descended into a bloody mess. Think the mish have had their day myself.Dont get me wrong Ive seen them a lot of times but they dont have the energy anymore.

we call it shit in what used to be the USA. but yea, me too. U2 used to be really good way back when. now, they are just madonna crusaders for crap.
mission uk...always good.
and, u2 and bono are all not just pricks, but let me put it this way, they are self righteous leeching age and no wisdom fucking shit in a trashcan.
sorry. i hate them. need to rename...ME2. asshole fucking loser pricks. i hate sell outs.
