Well, it's a better cover shot than Rolling Stone.

But it's not like that was a difficult achievement.

I still want to go at Bono with a washrag soaked in eye-makeup remover.

 

[bonoz]

Who died?

 

[corianderstem]

Bono's makeup artist, which explains why he's doing it himself, which explains why he looks like that.

 

[pepokiss]

that jacket...

I like it

 

[catlhere]

"Sup, esse?"

RS cover: F-
Spin cover: C

 

[Sicy]

Emo Bono.

 

[Salome]

Bono is starting to look more & more like 1 of those guys in Dublin living in a box
with a more expensive jacket though

 

[singyourlife]

Head up and chin sticking out - not the best angle in the world.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Edge, Larry and Adam look fine - Bono looks like an eejit.

I officially hate the eyeliner.

Same here.....not liking the eye makeup on Bono.

 

[david]

PLEASE do. This looks ridiculous.

The 'liner

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

that jacket...

I like it

that is a cool jacket.

 

[OrARoundabout]

Intense eyeliner you've dot there Mr.B...


And sparkly eyeshadow...

 

[Clawgrabber]

i like the new look. i wasn't feeling the "see i can still grow long hair" HTDAAB look.
'course I've always liked the POP streamlined Bono. a little bit of glam puts a nice sheen on the band. I like it when they aren't as straightforward.

 

[alanah]

Hah I love the eyeliner, thanks for posting.

 

[Saracene]

More eyeliner? Ughhhh. I don't know why Bono persists with this look, it doesn't even reflect the mood of the new album.

 

[Cask]

I normally couldn't care less about how they look but this time I'll just say:
Drop the eyeliner!!! Sorry but I just think it is over the top!! Why the need to wear it??? I have to agree with everyone calling him "Emo Bono". It doesn't look good at all in my opinion.

 

[Rosebud]

Well I don't know about y'all, but I find the 'liner as rather

I approve.

 

[guill]

I'm not 100% sure this eyeliner and Boots really help NLOTH.

 

[iota]

This Bono looks too much like Mork in drag.

Grow the hair back...

 

[iota]

I'm not 100% sure this eyeliner and Boots really help NLOTH.

I find it amazing that it's a number 1 with all the self-sabotaging U2's been doing lately...

 

[Joey788]

I don't really mind the eyeliner look that much. I think it's better that Bono's trying something different and attempting to create a character instead of just sticking with the same pair of shades all the time..

What I don't understand is how the eyeliner character will fit with NLOTH. I mean, I can see it working for Boots and Stand Up Comedy, maybe Breathe, but that's about it. I guess we'll have to wait and see when the tour starts.

Different doesn't necessarily mean better. As for the shades, his current shades aren't any different from those of Vertigo and Elevation era. He needs to either ditch the shades, or get the full out black ones like the one he had in AB.

 

[bonocomet]

Why does he "need" to do any of these things. Let him do what he wants and keep entertaining us like he has for the last 30 years.

 

[last unicorn]

Hell, let Bono do what he wants to do. I don't think eye makeup or a certain hairstyle will have any impact on the album or shows. If he wants to experiment with his looks he should do it. He is an artist, he can do whatever he wants. Thank God U2 don't decide to stick to the same look for the rest of their carreers just because they aren't 25 any more.

Although ur avatar scares me comet, hahaha, I have to agree with you.

First off, I like the eyeliner! For the people saying that it doesn't fit with the mood of the album; you are daft. There is a character in 2 songs that is a smack-head junkie! one of the themes of this album is about redemtion and rising up from out of dark places. Maybe it's a symbolism of that theme.

My Opinion: Leave the eyeliner alone already. These guys have just given us an amazing album (paricularly Bono in my opinion) and all you guys can harp on about is his choice in cosmetics. U2 are great at what they do. They do it and it's the fans choice to buy what they are selling. If it's not suitable for you then don't participate but it's not up to you to dictate their choices. They are the artists. It's Rock n'Roll baby!
