Heroes always disappoint you in the end
It's official, our band doesn't give a fuck about us. First they didn't want us in the front rows. Now we're not allowed to make more than one booking per tour. I.e. they want to get rid of their hardcore, traveling fans. They want new blood at gigs. Hardcore fans are tiresome. I know we are. We've also tirelessly supported the most uncool band in the history of music. And made them bluddy big.
Nope, they don't care one iota. I knew that already, but now we all do.
Update: It's like the ultimate midlife crisis. Instead of leaving their first wives, these men dump their first fans.

S’been a bit of a kicker alright. Just…
Argh.
And the worst of it? No such limitations are sited on ticketmaster.com. So if you had the readies available, and the timing, you’d be able to catch every single US show, and get your tickets from ticketbastard.com
And there was me thinking an Irish band might give a shit about the Europeans…

I’m so done with all this. I just don’t have the words to describe it. C… want to go for dinner or something coming sunday and get drunk? Looks like we’ll have some spare greens anyway. All that money I wanted to throw at U2, much lik the McPhisto incarnation did during the ZooTV tour. But they just don’t seem to want my money.

How will they ever check this. And what about my mum, my dad, my wife, my kids, my brother in law, my wife’s parents?

Ouch.
I’m not a big fan (but a fan nonetheless) and that sucks.

i know this must be beyond frustrating, but i seriously doubt that the intention was to stop fans going to multiple shows, the intention i think, was to thwart scalpers. the fact they successfully bought up hundreds of u2.com subs, however, is a moot point. all the bullshit with the unrefunded subs sucks dogsballs, and U2 should personally see it rectified. however, i think at this point in time, they have bigger, more important fish to fry.
oi, and don’t you dare stop writing U2 LIVE!

We’ve known since Boston on the last tour that the band are tired of seeing the same faces in the front rows every gig they play. This isn’t a wild guess, both Bono and Larry have said so. I don’t blame them, I’ve seen the faces and I’d get tired of ‘em too. :) But does it have to be spoken out loud? ‘Hey fans, thanks for giving us a great life, now fuck off, we’re tired of your ugly mugs.’
