Did U2 Really Rip Off the Bunnymen?

Can I change my answer?

If you are going to follow protocol, I think you have to.

I thought we took vows never to edit content of our posts. Only spelling errors.

But hey apparently Jack's vows are only good when it's convenient. I get it Jack. We release you from your solemn oath.

We take vows to god or gods or a god.

Jack is a god.

Therefore, Jack doesn't take vows. He recognizes them.

Being only a demigod, you can imagine my frustration with this whole arrangement.

I think U2 managed a level of creativity for an amazingly long period of time. If the bunnymen put out an album today like U2 were doing in the 90s, we would cry with joy and incredulity.

Yes.

I've often seen the rip off having to do with U2 getting Eno as a producer for Unforgettable Fire. If the Bunnymen had Eno for the Grey Album they would have done better than with Laurie Lantham. Plus, there was some cello on that album, just like the Bunnymen.

Let's hope they use their tour bus company as well.
