ITT: Musician's whose death will cause the opposite reaction to that of Prince/Bowie
There are a lot of U2 fans out there so his death would cause an even bigger reaction.
sunglasses sales would plummet
>>64299482
>U2 fans
lol ok anon keep dreaming zzzzzzzzzz
i wonder how the guys from the U Talkin' U2 to Me? podcast would react
>>64299482
>There are a lot of U2 fans out there so his death would cause an even bigger reaction.
I'm pretty sure most are just casual fans. It used to be cool for 40 somethings to say they liked U2 about 10-15 years ago, but not so much anymore. They have far more haters than fans at this point. Especially Bono himself.
>>64299437
>>64299559
>being this delusional
>>64299559
And yet. They can still sell out any stadium. Any Size. Anywhere in the world. In a very short time. yeah...more haters then fans.
new years day is a really good song tbqh
>>64299559
lol how can you actually think that this is true
40+ year olds that liked U2 will always like U2
>>64299437
Do you guys seriously think Bono would get the same reaction as Thatcher?
U2 is a great band. 80% of the Bono haters don't ACTUALLY know why they hate him.
Maybe this is picking the low-hanging fruit, but...
So many people are gonna be pumped when Gene Simmons dies
Actually I'm not sure if Bono would get the inverse reaction as Prince/Bowie. Regardless, I think he's an alright singer. U2 was pretty good in the 80's then became meh later on as they got more and more pretentious and egotistical.
>>64299815
>>64299881
Yeah but by the time Bono dies most of his fans will be in nursing homes. He has virtually no appeal with the current social media using generation.
>>64299559
Do you even know what the ticket sales was for the 360 Tour?
Highest grossing Tour of all time
Highest Attended Tour of all time
7.2 million tickets sold. Yeah..their fan base is waning.
>>64299982
I think any cache he might have gained with Millenials was totally ruined by force-downloading their new album onto people's iTunes.
>>64299988
That was before their iTunes scandal. Latest tour only had 1.2 million tickets sold.
He'd just cause a lot fighting over whether he was talented or a hack.
>>64300082
Why does U2 get the blame for this.
It was done by Apple and Tim Cook.
dude u2 sucks lmao
>>64299971
lol your kidding right? the people that like him will love him more and the people that hate him will go "he wasn't that bad" .
>>64300136
Latest Tour was and Arena Tour with less shows. You can bet real money that after "Songs of Experience" drops and if they do an Stadium Tour...it will sell out just like 360 did with similar numbers if the band goes that large scale again.
Jack White
U2 might still sell tickets to old people, but when was the last time they had a Top 40 hit or sold a million albums or had a TRULY highly acclaimed album?
They're completely irrelevant and an afterthought in music history to 99% of the population.
>the U2 is bad meme
Get over it already, they have plenty of great albums
You can judge a dadrock band's relevance by how much their music is still talked about or how many songs the average person under 40 can name. I doubt most people in their 20s can name a U2 song or could tell you what one sounds like.
It's not like, say, AC/DC or Led Zeppelin where their songs are played on CRR all the time and get sampled on TV/in movies etc so everyone knows at least 2-3 songs by those bands.
I recently listened to the whole of U2's discography, They are pretty bad, but not as bad as I would have assumed
>>64299542
That podcast is the best thing about U2
>>64300284
99%...really. You think so highly of your generation that you think you comprise 99% of the population. Most anyone over 30 has at least some appreciation for U2's contribution to music and will continue to support their new albums and shows if they are still as good as Songs Of Innocence. I frankly liked the album and actually spent money for the Deluxe Edition of the album.
Sting
Phil Collins
Elton John
It will cause a reaction, just a very mixed one.
>>64300284
>U2 might still sell tickets to old people, but when was the last time they had a Top 40 hit or sold a million albums
Uh, 2009's No Line on the Horizon sold over a million copies in the US and its lead single hit the Top 40. Their most recent album and its songs didn't chart because they were given out for free months before the paid physical/digital release.
>or had a TRULY highly acclaimed album?
2004's How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is two points shy of universal acclaim on metacritic.
How will people react when Kanye dies?
I'll throw parties when Keith Richards and Gene Simmons die.
>>64300732
I don't know what will be cringier, edgy rockists gloating at his death or people who think he was actually good giving eulogies on facebook
>>64300732
A mixed bag. White people will celebrate that an opinionated black man dies, black people will mourn quite severely for one of their most central figures of the century.
>>64299508
Underrated post
>>64300758
Why Keef :(
>>64300823
He's a piece of shit, in terms of both personality and guitar playing.
>>64300939
He's keeping the blues alive
>>64301000
Nice trips, but no. He's just beating a dead horse at this point.
No matter how shitty a musician is they always find a way to put him on a pedestal
>>64300284
No Line On The Horizon is a great album if you ask me.
Ted Nugent
Anthony Kiedis
Once Chuck Berry dies he's gonna get Jimmy Saville treatment.
Varg unfortunately
Chris Brown
>>64301131
>Anthony Kiedis
See above. He'll also get Jimmy Savile treatment.
Devin
>>64301156
How so?
>>64301185
>he doesn't know how the band members were accused in the late 80s of sexually assaulting two girls while they were performing at a college
>>64299437
Where? If here, just post mainstream acts. If on facebook and such, pretty much anything /mu/core sans radiohead who are pretty much mainstream.
>>64300895
He'll get the same as always.
>shit drummer but...
>his influence on the genre goes beyond drumming
>a true metal fan
>dedicated to his band
and so
>>64300608
>Elton John
GBYBR is based
Toby Keith
Everyone's mom would actually sudoku
>>64300136
>comparing a stadium tour to an arena tour
uh huh honey
people love Bono
Feminem
>>64299437
Yoko Ono and Courtney Love?
>>64301269
It was mentioned in the Wikipedia page on TUMPP but some butthurt RHCP fan took it out.
>>64299437
Lou Reed
>>64301427
What was /mu/'s reaction to Lou's death?
>>64301464
People were convinced it's the first time we meme'd someone to death
>>64301329
There is nothing more I hate than seeing my mom cry so this would SUCK
>>64301464
the exact opposite of Bowie and Prince's reaction
>>64301494
What a strange factoid you felt to include with this post
Seek help
Mine was already in her 30s when Bon Jovi were popular so doubt she'd give a damn.
Pic very related
Cannot wait
>he dies
>new tool album will never released
See previous about Jimmy Savile.
>>64300732
third worlder here
bowie, prince, bono, elton, sting are famous all over the world, rappers arent.
no one would care in France (the only rap they listen is in french and made by their north african muslims) or places like the Philippines or Brazil.
>>64301547
fuck off
He's literally a hometown hero here and the town already fell apart from Prince, Dylan would cause a widespread panic
>>64299437
>Implying that Prince wasn't also a massive fucking tool
It would be a mixed reaction.
>>64301521
Shut the fuck up kid
>>64301588
nah. although there was a slight blowback against bowie, the backlash was pretty insignificant. i bet the same will be for page.
I'm hoping their tour bus catches fire and they are locked inside
>>64301318
While he sucks as a musician, he's never really done anything to make himself hatable other than his playing skills.
Hopsin
>>64301588
He looks so happy there reflecting on how he got away with raping all those 12 year old girls.
Too easy.
He won't be missed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c91LEQ6IxY0
>>64301628
How so.
>>64301733
The UK is fucked up
It's gonna be weirdly happy when a lot of folks from that generation and the generation after go. Like for instance Pete Doherty.
>>64301819
He looked at CP for "research purposes" or something the cunt that he was Peter Sotos ahaha
>>64301733
l hope he gets hit by a bus soon
>>64301427
kim gordon
>>64301819
Positive: Pete is one of the most gifted motherfuckers to have ever played rock in terms of his compositional skills and the sheer fury of his playing (even in his old age, you can still feel the anger flowing from his performances unlike most rockers who mellow as they get older).
Negative: Enormous asshole and probably a secret pedophile
>>64301733
I think if he died tomorrow, everyone in the UK who wasn't a 10 year old girl in the 90s will be lining up to piss on his grave.
U2 isn't bad, but I hate the ever loving fuck out of Bono
>>64301520
If only she'd known when to quit instead of being a disgusting old woman in bondage outfits who won't go away.
>>64301990
also this
>>64302052
Why should she quit when she still sells out every show that tickets are available for? She performs because she enjoys doing it and her fans appreciate her performances. Honestly if you don't like her why do you care what she does on stage?
>>64302120
No way. He'd get a Prince/Bowie reaction for sure and I don't even like him.
>>64301023
Just curious but why.
>>64302222
Nice quads.
Anyway, Don Henley is literally the Grandpa Simpson of rock who yells and curses about young people, illegal downloads, anything in terms of music or popular culture that happened after 1980...also he's a massive liberal douche.
>>64302151
I love when Madonna's staff post on /mu/.
>>64302435
LoL. Yeah right. No I'm not on her staff or funded by her in any way. Just a grand pa aged /mu/ poster that has been on 4-Chan since 2006.
>>64302539
Sure you're not.
>>64302337
kek
>>64302539
Sure
>>64302337
And finally he's responsible for some of the most cancerous songs of all time.
>>64302565
You honestly think Madonna would hire someone to post on a Anima message board. ..conspiracy theory much?
>>64300608
>Elton John
Who will release a tribute song to him when he dies?
Death Grips
Kanye West
Animal Collective
Taylor Swift
Kendrick Lamar
MF Doom
Sufjan Stevens
The rest of the dumbass rap industry
The rest of today's music industry
>>64299437
ez one.
>>64299437
>>64302729
George Micheal will sing one almost guaranteed.
So will Lady Gaga.
>>64299437
Probably going to happen soon enough too. His asshole is probably going to collapse from the numerous surprise-buttfuckings he's no doubt received in prison.
>>64302929
Madonna...
>>64302800
>Implying the public would even know or care if any member of Death Grips died
>>64299437
>>64299889
This.
Fuck Mike Love. Hopefully his passing brings Brian some mute serenity.
I would honestly cry if Bono died. U2 had beautiful music and he was an important activist.
Why do people hate Bono so much? Because he's edgy?
>>64303061
Hi, Bono's nephew.
>>64299437
>>64303061
lol okay bono
Shame, they used to be a decent band before Bono decided he was God's gift to world peace.
>>64303133
everything about that picture is fucking annoying
>>64301588
SHUT UP
HE'S IMMORTAL ;_;
>>64301990
That is one of the worst hairs I've ever seen.
>>64303061
>an important activist.
Yeah, so was Chuck Mosley... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQhX8PbNUWI
>>64301733
Why is he so hated?
>>64302146
This guy may very likely have the most irritating voice in music history.
>>64302904
this cunt
>>64303300
/mu/ meme to hate oasis b/c wonderwall and montie also he's an annoying twat too but in reality he's irrelevant in 99% of the public eye
>>64303329
I hate Animals so fucking much. God, I hate that song.
>>64301670
Dude if anco died /mu/ would be entirely anco threads for like a solid month
>>64299437
Does anyone on this board know someone who actually paid to go to one of U2's giant stadium shows?
I know they're out there, but I have yet to actually meet one.
>>64300934
Is she even relevant enough to warrant such a response
>>64303393
I went to one. It was a pretty good show.
>>64303393
I paid to see ZOOTV, Popmart, Elevation, Vertigo, and 360. So yes i know someone who paid to see U2...me.
>>64303393
I remember a site I was on where this guy says "I was a teenager back when U2 were at their peak yet I never met any U2 fans and had no clue who was into this band or how they ever got popular."
>>64299726
Looks like a bloodborne enemy
>>64301990
I'll piss on his grave.
>>64302931
>surprise-buttfuckings he's no doubt received in prison.
>American sexual fantasies
He's in a single prisoner cell in a prison full of pedos.
Not to mention he recreationally put baseball bats in his ass when he was free, I really don't think your obsession with prison rape is being fulfilled in this case.
Daron Malakian
>>64303393
I went to the 360° concert in Nashville where they played The Wanderer for the first time since 1993 or whatever, then Bono pulled a blind man up on stage to play a song for his wife and sent him home with his personal guitar. I took my dad since U2 had always been his favorite band but never had the chance to see them live. We took a cross-country roadtrip and had a great week of bonding.
I miss him a lot.
>>64301839
This is false. He was alleged to have used his credit card in a site that had CP. Later it was proved that it was just a normal porn site.
>>64303779
My dad also took me to see them way back in 2005, so I'll always have memories that associate him with U2.
I was only 10-11 at the time and, not gonna lie, it had a major impact on how I perceived music. Before that it was just something I listened to whenever a radio was around.
>>64303998
If nothing else, I hope people can at least acknowledge how great a showman Bono is. Very few vocalists have his amount of stage presence and sense of spectacle. I really like that a U2 concert is never just the music but an entire multi-media experience. I really wish I could have seen them during ZooTV.
>>64303718
Why? He's a pretty decent guitarist.
>>64301578
>implying MJK isn't actually the god he tirelessly refutes
>>64303061
Literally a South Park meme. Shows how underage people here are (ironically they'll throw a hissy fit if you bring up the Kanye gay fish South park meme)
>>64304130
the show from Adelaide I think was a better representation of the ZOOTV experience then show that got recorded at Sydney for the DVD.
if you have not seen this show...enjoy it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70VTqxv6Bpg
>>64303779
I was at that show too, also with my dad. I remember they opened with Zooropa and everyone went insane.
>>64303644
>Not to mention he recreationally put baseball bats in his ass when he was free
Source on this?
>>64304244
Many people used to hate Bono way before South Park.
SST Records even produced and sold a "Kill Bono" T-shirt back in the 80s.
>>64300608
>Sting
>Phil Collins
Hurts to know that it will happen soon.
>>64304286
They need to give Zooropa some more love.
>>64304246
Oh I've definitely seen that, anon, it's wonderful.
>>64304388
>lol dude fuck mainstream rock man so punk xD
I love SST and Greg Ginn, but that's edgy as fuck
>>64299542
similarly to the way they did when Harris died
/thread
>>64301465
I will be miserable when he dies
>>64303300
Because he probably shat on their favorite band once and they can't handle the banter.
>>64301520
She's the same age as Prince was, too.
>>64304646
It will be cool to like The Wall again.
>>64304534
Yeah.. I have watched it all the way through a few times. It is the closest to the ZOOTV I saw live in Las Vegas and seems to capture how over the top some of it was..and how down to earth songs like "With or Without You" were with Bono standing in rain and looking up
>>64304720
I fucking hope not, the last thing we need is /mu/ trying to convince itself that Roger Waters is a genius and The Wall was an underrated masterpiece and not just a whiny shitfest.
>>64299437
The opposite of Prince and Bowie is Bowie and Prince. Bowie was mourned, Prince was meme'd.
>>64305315
>prine was meme'd
where the fuck have you been for the last 3 days?
>>64299867
Their first 3 albums are good tbqh
>>64302904
Parachutes, Rush of Blood and Viva La Vida are all solid albums though. X&Y has its moments too. The rest is bleh though, although I unironically like Paradise.
>>64303045
Not really into the Beach Boys. What'd he do that makes people shit on him so much?
>>64303133
his concerts still attract huge crowds
>>64305594
...of fat baby boomers with parrot hats and a cheap mixed drink in their hand.
>>64304207
Not the guy who posted him, but the dude shitted up SOAD by trying to fit his vocals on as many of the 2005 albums' songs as possible

>>64299437

would cheer again
>>64301609
Yeah, Argie here, some people know about Kanye because of his "personality", nobody has listened to a song by him.
The only famous rapper in this country is Eminem.
>>64301628
I wish he would have died already instead of making me witness that Super Bowl show

Him or Liam.
I'd literally throw a party in the street.
>>64300794
Just seeing his face makes me laugh
>>64307992
Yeah, that's my problem with him
they won't be missed
>>64300794

>>64304646
I think Roger did enough during his good days to warrant respect when he dies.
>>64304830
cry more
this guy
Why do people hate Bono again?
- When the whole world was giving Eminem shit for his lyrical content, Bono stepped up in a public interview at VMAs and said no matter what the content, his right as an artist shouldn't be infringed on.
- When Trent Renzor, still an underground darling at the time, was having something of a personal crisis, Bono came to him personally backstage at a show and offered counsel. Trent admitted he never liked U2's music, but thought highly of Bono for that.
- A philanthroper.
- Respected by a variety artists, from both the mainstream and alternative.
It's because his band is popular, isn't it?
>>64301733
>tfw pick up a copy of the NME because it's free
>They're still ringing up Noel to bother him about inane shit as if he was the most qualified to discuss *anything* inside or outside of music

>>64301465
no is the death that will break my heart
The opposite reaction? Floated By Hitler will have the opposite reaction to Prince and Bowies' deaths.
>>64303021
Nah
>>64299559
m8...
I know you're still in high school, so you haven't got the world figured out, but I'll let you in on a secret. You're still going to be listening to the same shit you like now in 15 years. You'll just play it off like you're doing it "ironically" or "for nostalgia".
The mature don't need this validation of their own tastes. They'll listen to whatever the fuck they want to listen to, because they're grown people. Not children on an anime website, pretending their musical preferences make them special or unique.
If they listened to U2 15 years ago, they're listening to U2 now.
>>64302727
>>64301547
I think the only people that are capable of having the same effect as Bowie's death are Dylan and McCartney. Maybe Brian Wilson as well but definitely those two.
>>64300378
>I doubt most people in their 20s can name a U2 song
There's always something weird about these sorta broad, nonsensical blanket statements. You can tell this guy is from some bland, small middle American town, where he has like three actual friends who are his only sample size for his broad, nonsensical blanket statement.
>>64302250
people regard the stones the same way they regard the beatles. people would freak out about jagger's death even if they've never actually listened to the rolling stones
>>64303061
Honestly, I would be very sad. His voice is almost as familiar to me as my own mother's. U2's music has been a constant in my life for better or worse.

Nah, it's because most millennials are self-centered idiots that were told to hate Bono by a Matt and Trey cartoon.

One of the really shitty things about Gary Glitter is that he actually made some decent music. But because of all the pedophile shit, he'll never be remember as a musician and its impossible to say that you like his music without looking like some kind of pedo-supporting monster.
>>64299726
I don't know there are a lot of people that like him as well man
>>64300178
This. So much this.
There is not a artist person on earth, that after his/her death wont have people crying hard, no matter how impopular.
