Whoops! Noise complaint!
U2 was fined by the city of Barcelona this week for playing “too long and too loudly” during their 360├é┬║ concert rehearsals last year. Apparently, the band went two hours over schedule with their playing and offended the delicate nature of the citizens living nearby.
Uh-huh. A bit late, don’t you think? Where was the complaint when the noise was going on?
Regardless, U2 paid up to the sound of $22,000 and promised never to disrupt the peace and civility of Barcelona again. It should be noted that the concert took place at a soccer stadium, which as we all well know is the sanctuary for those who wish to be tranquil and demure.
Ugh! Stoopid!
