Dave, you’re my hero.
We’re all heroes.
Wait…so U2 was once good? 
LOL! Agreed. I have one song by them I liked-
Vertigo was decent. That’s about it for U2.
+1 
No, you silly sockwearing sausage.
Read it again.
Metallica were once good. Well, still are, they’re just hiding it better than before.
U2 have always sucked.
With the exception of Pride.
They’re being rivalled only by ColdPlay for level of success while entirely sucking.
But that’s just a personal opinion.
I like Coldplay. It’s pretty soothing easy listening music… Good for unicycling.
Oh, thought you were comparing the downfall of Metallica to that of U2.
