Five Nights of U2 on Letterman — Awesome or Overkill?

March 1, 2009

U2's new album, No Line On the Horizon will be released on Tuesday, and the band will be playing on The Late Show With David Letterman on all five nights next week. It's a new twist on late night music coverage and most of you are into the first video from the album for "Get Your Boots On," but how do you feel about five nights of U2 — awesome or overkill?

It's pretty awesome they're the first to do that, but I'm not too excited about their new song.

C'mon, it's not overkill... it' Letterman for God's sake. I think it works... it's not like they're preempting prime-time. Despite the fact that there are unarguably a faction of U2 haters out there... these guys do have some fans from what I hear..."Just a few right?" I think it's great that they still come out to play for them. The thing about U2 is how they polarize people...lets face it...this late night stint isn't going to convince anyone to buy the CD that wasn't going to anyway! or vice-versa. So this week on Dave, it's fan's delight, so haters take flight...

Overkill but not for that reason, so I didn't vote. U2 is so overrated.

U2 is so overrated, definitely overkill.

Total overkill!! U2 aren’t even as relevant as they were 10-15 yrs ago. And they certainly don’t need the publicity.

One can never have enough good music. When it comes in the form of Bono, The Edge and U2 on David Letterman, all the better. I'm totally in.

Didn't U2 do this at Conan? I know for sure the White Stripes did a full week at Conan, not overkill at all.

Overkill - I am not a fan of U2 to begin with.

I love Letterman. U2 has maintained for years now. Both get what they need---publicity. My husband has always collected rare U2 albums, so he'll love this.
