Anyway, it seems I'm not alone in this, because on the new LP from Last Party, there's a track called Jesus Hates U2.
I'm sure I didn't: I mean, I never liked 'em. (BFBS) ( Peel 144 (BFBS)): "I've never been terrifically keen on the work of U2, although somebody wrote and told me the other day that when they first started out I used to play their records all the time.03 February 1990 (BFBS): "I don't hate 'em, not as much as I hate U2 and Dire Straits, or did back in those days, but they were never particular favourites of mine.".1987 snippet (Rockradio): "And as I say I should be back in two weeks time, unless the Rockradio bosses say, 'eugh we were expecting lots of U2 and Simple Minds and we haven't got it, and we don't want any more of this.Peel 008 (BFBS): A request for U2 produces a derisive snort from JP.25 January 1983: Treasure (Whatever Happened To Pete The Chop) (7" - New Year's Day) Island WIP 6848.09 January 1983 (BFBS): New Year's Day (LP - War) Island.05 January 1983: New Year's Day (LP - War) Island.03 January 1983: New Years Day ( 7") Island WIP 6848.18 April 1982 (BFBS): A Celebration ( 7") Island WIP 6770.04 April 1982 (BFBS): A Celebration ( 7") Island WIP 6770.24 March 1982: Shadows And Tall Trees (album - Boy) Island ILPS 9646.24 March 1982: A Celebration ( 7") Island WIP 6770.23 April 1981 (BFBS): Stories For Boys (album - Boy) Island ILPS 9646.28 October 1980: I Will Follow (LP - Boy) Island.23 October 1980: A Day Without Me (7") Island.20 October 1980: Stories For Boys (album - Boy) Island ILPS 9646.And if I'd played the Killing Joke and that the other way around, it would have been on exactly at 11 O'Clock. 11 O'Clock Tick Tock (7") Island ( JP: "What kind of a DJ am I?

So I'd like another copy of it certainly, because what little bit of it I could hear sounded rather good. "And at this stage I would have played a 12" 45 by another Dublin band, U2, and I was given two copies of this earlier in the week, but if anybody from U2 is listening, both copies were far too warped for me to ever possibly play on the radio.
