I see some of the old videos and concerts and and I find the new Adam to be better looking. In the old days he even looked a bit like an asshole. Now he looks really charming and healthy. Of course, I'm not a woman so I can't properly judge, so for the ladies out there, which Adam do you prefer?
Then...
...and Now
Excuse me, how rude!
Ever since the Vertigo era, Adam gave himself a complete makeover from the Elevation days. And to think all he needed was to lose the Elevation purple (Lennonish) glasses and let his hair go naturally
grey salt & pepper silver! Lookwise now, he's the posterboy for the mature man look: silver hair, blue deepset eyes, handsome face, toned body. A lot of females appreciate this look. I would venture that he has gotten more attention from the female GA audience (increased # of signs and screams) because of his mature man look.
And of course the new performer personality that came with seeing his face (and not so much his ass-- try to refrain from PLEBAn jokes here
) during Vertigo was a welcomed change for the ladies. And with 360, he really took the meaning of performer to a new level: by dancing badly to give Bono a run for his $$ (I say that affectionately about both guys), posing and playing his bass dramatically (those who were at concerts will know what I mean), and my personal favorite, the way he 'stumbles' backwards while on the bridge to the drumbeat just before B launches into the Discotheque snippet after Crazy Tonight.
Even Bono acknowledges how asthetically pleasing Adam has gotten. In multiple band introductions on 360,
Bono describes not Larry
shrug
, not Edge
shrug
and not himself but
Adam as handsome, or synonyms of it. Of course Bono is a man aware of beauty, and he sees physical beauty in Adam.
what this post is saying is:
I FUCKEN LOVE THE NEW ADAM!!!!!!!!! (since Vertigo, when The Change happened). HE IS SO GOSHDARNED GOOD-LOOKING AND SO INTERACTIVE AND
ON STAGE WITH EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! SWEETIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was rather adorable.
