Is It Bono?

[bono_212]

In the first of what will probably never be continued series, I ask you:

YouTube - Peter Gabriel POV (p5) No Self Control

Is it Bono? (The offender is at :48 in)

I've been meaning to start this thread for ages, but I forgot which song this appeared in/forgot in general. Take note, this was filmed around the time of the Conspiracy of Hope tour.

Flailing like a muppet? I say yes indeed!

 

[LemonMelon]

I say Robin Williams. Wasn't he big into the cocaine around this time?

 

[Danny Boy]

Flailing like a muppet? I say yes indeed!

I concur. This frame in particular looks most Bono-like, and the hair and hat are correct for the time period.

 

[bono_212]

It's that strange little mustache that has me confused, I confess. If only Peter Gabriel would finally release POV on DVD, then we could possibly know for sure

 

[Danny Boy]

I think the mustache is just a shadow.

I also think those moves are reminiscent of Bono's Popmart-era boxing moves.

 

[ramblin rose]

I think it's Bono. Looks like the Amish hat that he was into wearing at the time.

 

[cobl04]

russell brand?

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Pavel?

 

[nielsgov]

I think it's Bono yeah.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Fabriel brought a camcorder around everywhere during the COH tour (source: propaganja), so yeah, I'm about one hundo it is.

In fact, it definitely is.

i have nothing witty to add. so i'll say it's probably the ghost of phil collins.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i'm loving these poll results, people.

 

[The Sad Punk]

i'm loving these poll results, people.

Because it's the only time everyone on Interference has ever been on one side?

If Bonnie says it's him, it most likely is.

Gotta love the flailing chicken dance.

 

[Jeannieco]

I don't think it is. Just because of the curly frizzy hair thing.... Bono's hair seems straighter than that during that period. Unless that was a very humid day... which it could have been considering the location.

 

[Galeongirl]

Straight? Non fuzzy hair? Have you seen pictures from Conspiracy of hope? His hair was a wild mess back then!

Though this was a wee bit later.. still.

[corianderstem]

Well hel-LO, Mr. Bono!

 

[U2girl]

Impossible to tell though the hair does look too curly...looked more like Michael Hutchence if I had to guess .

 

[bonocomet]

That's gotta be him. As said earlier... it's him doing his boxing thing all the way. There are pictures in an issue of Propaganda of that pillow fight on the plane too

 

[Jeannieco]

Those pictures show his long wavy hair perfectly.... I don't see FRIZZY, fro like hair, I see thick messy hair...but not thin and frizzy hair. Haha! I feel a PLEBA picture thread being born.

Bono has beautiful THICK hair... Still don't think it's him.

If he was there for that, then that seals it for me. I'm trying to remember how long I've owned POV. Five years, I think. Five years this has been a mystery

holy shit it's a lion get my shotgun

From Propaganda, Bono in the pillow fight

 

[mikal]

what in the hell was Bono doing with a horse? who is he, Patrick Swayze?

 

[Katiesheb]

Haha! I feel a PLEBA picture thread being born.

DO IT!!! Loved the look from the mid to late 80s

Well hel-LO, Mr. Bono!

No it is HEL-LO Mr. Bono!!!

My thoughts on the video? Definitely has to be Bono!

 

[The Sad Punk]

I don't think it is. Just because of the curly frizzy hair thing.... Bono's hair seems straighter than that during that period. Unless that was a very humid day... which it could have been considering the location.

Having seen probably every piece of shit little interview from this period, including one where Bono had wet hair and was wearing a white dressing gown, it's a great honour for me to tell you that you're wrong.
