I dunno for some reason every new release of U2s makes me not like their music more and more.

I'm so glad this is their second single. Get on your boots was just meh, but Magnificent kicks ass! It's my favorite song on the album.

How cool. Bono looking up at the sky. They say that in order to converse with his equal, Bono is forced to converse with God.

Sux! How many times can they re-do the same song? Go away, Bono and pretend to be an "activist" even though we know you are just another corporate hack.

This band is incapable of creating good music.

Gorgeous song (it lives up to its name). Weird video…but good. Yes, sometimes U2 can be annoying but they're talented.

Re: Swami – If you are still writing brilliant music why would you retire? Just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't negate that half of the world would take a new U2 album over Lady Gaga or any of those Nickelback clone bands.
they are fucking brilliant musicians…go listen to your new FOB album

SAME CHORDS, SOUNDS AS ALWAYS. GETS BORING AND LAME AFTER A WHILE. THINK I'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE. MORE LIKE A RE-RELEASE WITH DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT. THE VID IS LACKLUSTRE AS USUAL. BONO IS GETTIN OLD, PACK IT IN ALREADY. ONCE YOU'VE BEEN INDUCTED IN THE R&R HOF, IT'S ABOUT OVER…

Bone-Head needs to STFU and keep his political views to himself. Nobody cares.

Re: INTIMIDATOR –

Excuse me??? If you think U2 is incapable of creating good music, then you must be living under a rock because U2 are one of the best, most influential bands in the world. Ever heard of Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby??? Moron.

Hey stupids…their sounds is their signature. There is supposed to be some uniformity.

Elvis had a sound. The Beatles had a sound.

That doesn't mean they sucked or lacked originality.

Same things with U2.

Awesome song, by the way.

This song screeches in my ears. It sounds like the bad version of earlier songs.
U2 please take the time to come up with a song that is unique to 2009. I have a tune for you and a new pair of sunglasses.

amazing song off an amazing album. i sometimes sympathize with general U2 weariness (it's difficult to fully embrace real, long-term talent and success, as it leaves us feeling inferior), but it would be foolish for anyone to simply write off the band's latest musical effort.

and why should U2 call it quits when they're still very much capable of creating outstanding music - the band shits better music than the majority of "artists" out there producing so-called music. unlike so many of you shallow, vapid morons, i could care less how old and decrepit bono appears.

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
