Re: The NHL Thread (lolcaps)
:lol Apparently U2 is a divisive band here in the NHL thread.

I was saying that I think that Sakic's asking price is just the starting point for negotiations. He knows he has time. You start by asking for the moon and hope to land somewhere in the middle. I think that the Kessel and Hall deals really are around where Landy is...and I think those two probably would still command more than Landy. I wouldn't be surprised to see something like a top D prospect and a high pick land Landeskog (w/ some salary retained). We'll see though. Hawks need help. They're one or two pieces short of the puzzle right now. Hossa is only producing when he's opposite Panarin, and Toews isn't producing at all. They need help on that 1LW slot. Vanek, Landy, JvR and Patrick Sharp all look like possibilities. We'll see what happens. JvR is probably my top pick (assuming salary retention on all of these to make it work), then Landeskog > Vanek > Sharp. But since Toronto is actually competing, I don't know if they move him. They might, as they know they're likely still a year or two away from really competing, but who knows. I just don't know how the Hawks make Landy's cap situation work with Panarin's new deal kicking in next year. Maybe they know something I don't? |

As far as making the cap situation work, I've got a couple ideas, one that rhymes with Trent Zeabrook... |

Everyone thinks they have good taste in music...does not make it reality. U2 just sold out stadiums all over the world today. Not bad for a band starting in 1976. Also, I like U2 for sure, but I was mainly trying to get tickets because U2 + The lumineers was a great way to see two bands at once. I was already planing on seeing the Lumineers at MSG this year, but thought I would hold out to add in U2. My reaction is aimed at people saying U2 sucks more than it is about my love for the band. Saying a legendary band, and one of the most popular bands in the world, sucks, is to me dumb and is just an opinion, not fact. I do have a hard time believing someone could not find a single song that they enjoyed from a band that has such a large selections of songs. I have had this same argument many times with friends about DMB. If your dislike is because of Bono (and his politics), I can understand it a little more. I still think people should separate the art from the artist though. Finally, I am upset because I had to turn down free tickets to the Rangers game tonight because of a curling tournament I am in. I hate passing on free games to MSG! I can't believe I might miss more stick breaking by JB! |
Re: The NHL Thread (lolcaps)
U2 is weird for me. There is some stuff of theirs that I've heard and that I never care to hear again. Doesn't do anything for me. Outside of Joshua Tree and All That You Can't Leave Behind (both great albums), it's pretty hit or miss.
But the stuff I do like, I LOVE. Like, I wouldn't put U2 in my top 20 favorite bands (probably not even top 30), but Where the Streets Have No Name is easily one of my favorite all-time songs. |

I am pretty similar with my liking of U2. I hear they put on an amazing show though. I would like to add them to the list of bands I have seen live at least once. Sadly, I got shut out of tickets today. They sold out very quickly today. Edit: BTW Barbs, I meant to put a [ :lol ] when talking about how everyone thinks they have good taste in music. Without it, it makes my post seem way more serious than I intended it to be. |

edit: also it really doesn't matter how many tickets a band can or can't sell, that doesn't affect how I feel about their music |

Their recent albums have kinda blown but I've also heard their shows are amazing and to see Lumineers with them would be awesome but they weren't coming near me. |
Re: The NHL Thread (lolcaps)
Obligatory "U2 sucks" comment

Re: The NHL Thread (lolcaps)
Jack Capuano out and Dougie Weight the interim coach. Figured it had to happen eventually but surprised it happens after a win like that.

I hate the "sells out stadiums" = good argument.
There's lots of garbage that sells lots of tickets/albums. |

For recent success that is still sustained - Britney Spears seems to be doing just fine. Kid Rock sells out stadiums, doesn't he? Keith Urban/Tim McGraw/country whatever. Madonna. Do people who don't like them have shit taste in music? It's not all the Beiber's of the world. Obviously Katy Perry and Lady Gaga still pump out plenty of tickets, but they don't have the time to back it up as much yet. |

Also, to the bands you listed about being good or not: That is a different argument now because you are changing the subject to a more broad question of "do you like rock or not?" Obviously people who just don't like the type of music are not going to like U2. I would hope they could still appreciate and respect the band and what they have accomplished though. As far as Britney Spears and Madonna go: they were the queens of their style of music. Just like Michael Jackson, The Beatles, The Stones or even Frank Sinatra. I actually don't believe that Katy Perry will be able to sell out stadiums 10 years from now. I have no clue about Kid Rock, but I would be surprised if you showed me him doing a solo stadium tour.... Attendance does have to count for something.... |
