Ever since these guys released “Songs of Surrender“ (which took everything good they’ve ever done and made it significantly worse) I’ve been baffled by their motivation. But considering the pandemic was long and lonely for all of us, I figured maybe they were just bored and needed to do something. I was totally fine with it. Having said that.. After seeing clips like this emerge from the Sphere, I’ve become increasingly convinced they seem to be deliberately shitting on their legacy. Considering the fact I’ve been a massive U2 fan since the first time I heard Bad on the radio in 1984, I take no pleasure in saying this. But virtually every Sphere clip I’ve seen hasn’t just been bad. They’ve been *shockingly* and *embarrassingly* awful to the point I couldn’t even finish the videos. If someone told me this was a shitty U2 cover band in Iowa on a Tuesday night, I would believe it. Why on earth they would willingly do this to themselves is just heartbreaking to me.
