Bono Calls Coldplay Singer “A Wanker”

Bono is really saying some controversal quotes lately (hmmm…new album out….is he looking for PR?) Bono called Martin a “wanker”, then later in the interview he called Martin a “cretin”. The radio host immediately asked Bono to apologize, because apparently “wanker” is one of those words that seems to get censored in England… I think. The Daily Mirror censored it with a “w****r” which seems like overkill. I have always said that Martin was a cheap imitation of Bono and I think Bono thought the same thing. Even though I like a fewe Coldplay songs, they are 100% a U2 ripoff band.

  • I can't believe you would compare U2 to Coldplay. While their ethereal style is similar in moodiness to U2, they are vastly different. Music is constantly evolving and Coldplay has certainly carved out their own niche. By the way, I am a huge U2 fan...
