He was. I literally had no idea what to say and I just changed the subject to how cool it was that they were playing Acrobat.
I couldn't believe that he'd say that about UTEOTW but he also didn't sound extremely genuine. I think maybe he was just trying to play the cool fan and say "yeah that song sucks!"
He did say he would classify himself as a big fan, and was referencing U2gigs quite a few times, so the kid knows what he's talking about.
Maybe it’s us u2starters that are only the casual fans and over at u2 gigs they all want UTEOTW dropped because it’s an overplayed regular lol. It could be his only controversial u2 opinion and he happened to share it with you.
Just read this excerpt in an article I'm reading and it gave a chuckle:
Last November Noel Gallagher revealed to the Sunday Independent that he lives on the same street as the U2 bassist - five doors up from him, in fact. "Adam came to my house recently," Noel said, "and our cat Boots came walking in. Adam went: 'So, that's your cat?' I asked him, 'How do you know that cat?' He said, 'That cat is always at my f***ing house!'"
"I wouldn't have a cat," Adam laughs. "Noel's cat always comes round looking for food. I don't think they feed him. He's a very cool cat. Looks like a stern leopard!"
