"Am I the only one annoyed by "Bono""

Or, as I've decided to call him, Bonio.

The singer in a massively overated "Brand" telling world leaders what to do?

Please....

One that wants to make sure that they don't play at 50 gigs in a row doing the exact same thing each time which turns out to be toss?

You try a new thing, "Hmmm, fans liked that, do it again"
You try a new thing "Hmmm, fans thought it was crap, never again"

Mind you, if all bands did that then we proabbly wouldn't have Stairway To Heaven today, apparantly it was booed the first few times they played it live, before they released it.

That's verging on an Opera.

Me and the missus were going to go see Guys and Dolls, with Obi Wan (in it, not with us!), but it was so expensive, and there was a secondary booking fee after the credit card handling fee, so we didn't. Rip-off.

I think he's genuine - genuinely on a big ego-trip. He always has been. Living out his "issues", whether personal or political in the limelight. And don't he just love the limelight.

I like The Unforgetable Fire song, mind.

They were cool during the Achtung Baby era

Last album was pretty naff though.
£60 for a gig ticket, no thanks.

I'm inclined to agree with him. What kind of 'rock and roll' band does that?

But yeah yeah, he does loads for charity, raises awareness and sings on charity records so blah blah blah. Still think he's a bit of a nob though.

I'm listening to them just.

Even better than the real thing.... daaaoooonnn

Doesn't Bono live in a castle? Unless it's a castle with a runway that sends planes full of aid to Ethipia, I'd be inclined to say he was rubbing their faces in it a bit.

But of course he raises awareness (we'd never heard of Africa before), so y'know, stuff. Did him and the Edge ever get caught drowning kittens in his moat? Nope, not evil.

Is that bad?

Hmmmm, I shall sell your mother into slavery then nyah nyah nyah!
