just saw this:
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7909772.stm

not only is it a shit thing to make a musical about, but those tossers lined up to do the music and lyrics have failed to write even a half decent song for over 20 years.

Fuck me, I hate U2 so much...

I fucking hate U2
They released one moderately alright album in 1983 or something, they shouldn't still be around. Talentless shitcunts.

The 'article' (five pages of sycophantic arse licking that reads like it was written by their PR department) on their new album in the last Observer Music Monthly made my blood boil.

they really are shit
even when they weren't quite so shit, they were still shit.

Best rock band in the world my fucking arse.

They are rock for people who don't actually like music.

Stupid gimmicks + egomania ≠ talent

What's the difference between Bono and God?
God doesn't wander around Dublin in a pair of stupid sunglasses pretending he's Bono.



I fucking hate U2. Pretentious twats.

Edit: In addition, surely musicals are supposed to be cheesy and camp? I can hardly see Bono doing the dances from West Side Story before breaking into a chorus of "I feel pretty, oh so pretty..."

...though I might pay to see that...

Not my joke, I'm afraid...found it buried somewhere in a QotW, but I thought it was appropriate to this thread.

A Spidey musical
will probably be all kinds of wank.

Superhero fucking musicals my arse.

Actually, musicals full fucking stop. Hate them; all that bursting into song for no readily apparent reason. HATE THEM!

Except for the Rocky Horror Show

And Spamalot

I was once forced to go and see the stage version of...

Mama Mia

*shudders*

Do you know what it feels like to know that you are trapped for 3 hours with nothing to entertain you but Abba songs.

How do you think it feels to be the only person in the entire theatre sitting down while everybody else dances like enaptured mid western christians, arms wobbling, bellys wobbling, faces etched in sweedish pop ecstacy, me swallowing the bile filling my mouth.

*hates musicals more*

I was doing my stint as it were

The worst thing was I couldn't even get pissed as it was £7.50 for a Gin and Tonic and the first one cleared me out.

West Side story is shit too. I

f you bump into a rival gang on your turf, do you,

a) Beat the shit out of each other until the streets flow with your enemies blood.

b) Engage in trash talk size each other up before deciding that the resulting damage to your own group would be detrimental to the continuation of the gang into the future.

c) Prance around dancing and fucking singing like a bunch of stage school rejects jacked up on their own self worth disappointment at the absolute fucking failures that they are.

I'll take credit for using the joke in QoTW, but I nicked it from somewhere else too. Can't remember where though.
