Bono Injured Blessings In Disguise

[in a mo]

I am without doubt one who can't bare Bono in any shape or form,whilst this may be the case U2's music I like apart from the vocals ,Imagine my delight when instead of Bono doing the lead vocals in Times Square at the weekend Chris Martin (Coldplay) sang a couple and then after a dreadful short set by Kanye West (with backing tracks) Bruce Springsteen came out to sing a couple of songs with U2,Where the Streets Have No Name,was superb.This to me shows the work of the Band of U2 is NOT just Bono .
You can watch the set complete with a couple of songs by Carrie Underwood one with The Edge on guitar,on The Rolling Stone (Magazine) Web site .
Great Stuff

Thanks for that, Mo.
I've never been a fan of U2 either. You have to admit they are a very good band. It's just Bono that seems to get up most people's noses.

Brilliant frontman IMO. U2 at Wembley in 1993 is one of the finest concerts I've witnessed.

There's a wonderful story of him appearing at The Kelvin Hall in Glasgow, a set with Sting. After the main concert, he strolls out by himself, takes a mike, and stands there to begin clapping with a slow rhythm, nearly two minutes of it.

He then announces, "Every time I clap, a child in Africa dies of starvation or AIDs - we have to do something."

A Weegie-accented voice from four or five rows back shouts out, "Well, stop fecking clapping then."

[ummmm]

I like him...

I'm not a fan of U2 as such, they've had some cracking songs over the years though.

CARRUST Self Satisfied, Smug, Injured, and Rich Little ***,who should pay his TAXES !

They haven't made a decent album since All That You Can't Leave Behind in 2000 and Bono has really gone overboard with his views in the last 10 years. I certainly won't be paying through the nose again to see them tour next year pity as they were a really good band in the early years and were terrific live in small venues.
