its an age thing and growing up in the uk around the post punk period.u2 were once fresh,exciting,mentioned in the same breath with echo & the bunnymen,joy divison,teardrop explodes,comsat angels,the cure,the banshees.you could see these bands on small stages,in the back of pubs,at your uni.it was before things splintered off into tribal groupings of bands under banners like goth,indie,industrial etc etc,fantastic times.
u2 gigs rocked,they were passionate and they often sounded or played better than the other bands.up to and including "joshua tree" they were ace imo.
its easy to look at u2 thru different eyes and see something very different and i'd never argue with anyone about why they don't like them but i think that for karl, and certainly myself, what they did back in the day will always be enough to keep the fan alive.
