  • No. I just think you have too much time on your hands.

  • Yes quite, 42 seconds of video and 3 mins editing clearly demonstrates your accurate claim - but opinion wise your ears appear to be deceiving you.

  • I agree! How about City of blinding Lights/Brittle heaven or Ultraviolet/Kinetic?

  • Yeah. I've looked into those two, both similar in places, but not enough to say a rip off.

  • Fuck U2, they are now at the level of Hannah Montanna or Jonas Brothers.

    The Sound is one of the best bands ever.

    And David Bowie rules.

  • Fuck off U2

  • What band hasn't U2 ripped off?? Echo and the Bunnymen should be enjoying the hundreds of millions Bono and his lousy band has made over the years...

  • YOU GOT IS SOO RIGHT. U2 was doing their homework!

  • Dat klopt maar men moet hier vermelden dat U2 een grote fan waren van Adrian Borland., zijn muziek etc.

    Daarbij waren het geen onbekende van elkaar en zagen ze elkaar regelmatig, dus er zal wel een stilzwijgende toestemming zijn.

    En daarbij kan als men 't nuchter bekijkt, voorspellen, U2 zal nooit een volwassen band worden en altijd zich blijven afvragen , "hoe flikte Borland het toch."

  • See.. this is why no decent music can be made. Every possible combination of sound or riffs have been created that are worth listening too. even if you never heard of a band but your intro or a part of the song has the same style regardless of key/note change you get a notice in the mail for a court date for copyright infringement. And who isn't to say it was done in Homage to Adrian? Plus U2 used to be one of the greatest bands turn Donkeyball lickering.

  • no

  • Of course U2 ripped off Adrian! He knew it well and didn't care...he loved them. But I do not.....

  • They are only just similar. Not even close to being a ripoff.

  • yes... bono took all adrian's ideas... so it is...
