[@treasam5737]

One of Grahams brilliant talents and one reason the show is so successful is that he does not 'cow down to' Bono or any of his guests. He makes fun of them but always in a lighthearted way. Graham is a master at reading and reacting to his guests and giving them alcohol doesn't hurt either.

[@stayfrostypatrick]

Same. He's the only Brit host I'll watch because of how laid back he is as a host. Plus they get to drink on his show too.

[@treasam5737]

@@stayfrostypatrick just to clarify he's not British he's Irish.

[@stayfrostypatrick]

@treasam5737 yes that's right he's Irish. I forgot but he's done the show for so long now. But I'm a dumb American 😂

[@treasam5737]

@@stayfrostypatrick you're not dumb - no worries, lots of people confuse British and Irish. But there is a distinct difference. Having said that if you were to ask many Brits what are the countries or provinces under 'great britain' they would have no clue, nor would they have any clue about the colonization of the Brits - its called selective 'lets not teach about our shitty history'. Sad but true.

[@apsarasangreal84]

Amen! I have always said the only church I go to is when U2 is within 1500 miles. Yes, I've driven it, 3 concerts so far, and totally worth it. It's like a cleansing of the Soul, a laying down of burdens, and a small near death experience - all in one night. I do more praying at a U2 concert, than at any other time in my life. It's the only place I have ever truly felt the brotherhood of man. I've never met Paul Hewson, but I've been in love with Bono since I was 12 years old....

I knew when I first heard and saw this band, I said that they would be one of the, if not the biggest band around. I now there are people who don't care for them, but to me, they are the best.

[@stayfrostypatrick]

Don't be sorry and it's true people don't like them and it's ok. We just have to accept that sadly.

[@sheteg1]

I did a music appreciation class in high school. The teacher played their first album when it wasn’t a huge hit yet. We were all mesmerized. Loved them ever since. Saw them only once in concert. I think it was 87’ will have to check that. CNE bandstand Toronto, Canada.

The biggest bands are those you could put into a high school storage room and they'd turn it into the gate to heaven! 🎸💫 There are all sorts of good musical groups, but only a few bands have had that unique quality... Queen, Guns'n'Roses, Led Zeplin, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, U2

[@Gerard_2024]

@@kingy002 ...Yes. It would be hard to conceive of him as their biggest fan. Most likely a generational mis-match. In any case, too many people clustered together on the sofa at the same time. You can´t interview 7 people simultaneously and hope to give equal time to everyone. This is the problem of the multiple-interview approach which we see on his show. Should have allowed the first 3 guests to leave first, before bringing on U2. Would have worked better.

[@briencampbell1043]

I love U2 but that album paled compared to their early golden era. It happens. Few (if any) artists release great music late in their career.

[@anngulliver5964]

Total ageist nonsense. The lyrics are much better than anything on their 80s albums plus this album was better than their first 3 albums. The album is in my top 4 favourite album of theirs. As people age their songwriting gets better. Everyone accepts ageism but not racism or misogyny when it's just as bad.

[@Tryggvasson]

as a huge long time u2 fan, i must say their music today is so lame it hurts. it's funny when you realize 3/4 of the existence of your favorite band is musically irrelevant. "at least", albums wise, the ratio is better cause they only release two albums a decade or so. i've stopped paying attention to the actual dates.

[@stayfrostypatrick]

I really love all albums up to Songs of Experience. For some reason I just can't listen to that album, I do hope their new album would sound better than SOE did.

[@rainyfern.]

@@stayfrostypatrickI personally really like Songs of Experience. I understand it’s not maybe as unique as some of their other stuff, but the music changes with the band. Something like Love is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way might not have that typical U2 vibe that we love so dearly, but if you look at the lyrics, you can see how much really goes into a song like that.

[@stayfrostypatrick]

I respect your opinion. Thank you. Maybe I'll have to hear the album again. 😊
