The media have had a field day with U2 since about 1988.Couldn’t basically care about what people think,in this instance it is what it is.It’s quite a catchy tune with a bit of Euro pop,won’t sell or be a big massive hit,but so what?

So in other words you liked itπ .TBH it essentially a Garrix tune with Bono there to give it a bit of weight otherwise it might just be a background tune that a lot of people would never know who was behind it ,the song went straight to Number 1 on ITunes and the whole world knows who Martin Garrix is and Bono and the Edge look credible with the millennials instead of looking like old dinosaurs π¦. which will lead a lot of people to check out the back catalogue of both artists.

Well u should care.
Legacy...
Legacy is the single most important thing a band can have once they call it quits. Legacy determines where the band places in future discussions about the best bands of all time.
U2 ( or more so new management) seem determined to cock that up and they will be lumped in ‘said’ discussions with bands like Creed, Bon Jovi etc instead of bands like the Stones, Beatles, Pink Floyd etc if they continue down this cringey road. I for one care about where they end up in that discussion !

They are just side projects mostly by Bono ,he knows that guitar based music is dead in the water as regards relevancy, the guy has his finger on the pulse if he was to do a collaboration with Chris Martin then I would be worried about their legacy getting damaged. U2 always want to appeal to a broader audience not just the old codgers who just stand there at a gig waiting for Streets and moan for the rest of the night that U2 went downhill after Achtung baby even though most of them probably never bothered listening to anything they did since then.
