 There was a time when they made some cracking tunes

 They're a bit like Def Leppard, for my liking:

Huge in the 80s and made some killer songs, still quite popular in the 90s and on the music radar, but recently albums haven't been as good as they once were.

Hopefully both bands will return with some killer songs soon.

 Like most bands they should have split after the first couple of records. Joke compared to what they were and Bono is the biggest chunt on the planet.

 Seen them at the old national stadium (arms park) around 1987 and they were very good back then. One of the best concerts I've been to.

 Edge- not the greatest guitarist in the world. But every time he plays, he makes it sing. Lifelong fan, but disliked them in the 90s. Good again now, i think.

Agreed, no technician but what a sound he gets from a set of simple notes.

This guy gives a good insight into his sound.

saw them for 1 time only at wembley back in 1987

after that i lost interest

the edge has a very distingtive guitar sound tho pre 1987 . very underated in the scheme of guitar players

did like a version with green day of a cover song after that U2 has slipped off the radar in my household .

 I saw them in St David's hall (was that back in the 80's? I can't remember). I thought that they were good back then (pre-America), and did buy their first two albums. I soon found them boring, and lost interest.

I think the most damming indictment, is the fact that I never updated those albums to CD's, or have since thought it necessary to have any of their songs on my iPod.

The Pretenders tried playing a load of their new stuff that day, it didn't go down well with the crowd.

And The Alarm played before the Pretenders and blew them off the stage. At the end of the set the Pretenders showed their arses to the crowd in response to the lack of enjoyment at their set.

 Probably my favouriter band of all time along with The Beatles.

Saw them at the Millenium in 2005 - best gig I've ever been to.

Their 80's stuff was awesome, as was their early 90's stuff (Achtung Baby), but the rest of the 90's was a mess.

 In fairness I have never liked the beggars despite the pressure by all and sundry to embrace their music.

Ditto Red Hot Chilli Peppers and the Rolling stones.

Haha! Liked that. hehe Edge uses delay almost all of the time, but I really can't fault the way it sounds. He's a composer and singer, as well as a guitarist.
Once again, Bill Bailey is very good.
