Is this Bono? I don't think so ... at all.

[AtomicLemon]

I just got these photos from an acquaintance of mine squealing about how she and her husband met Bono, got his autograph, etc. I think she got snowed.

She didn't say where they were - They are wearing NAMM badges and I KNOW Bono didn't go to NAMM. She sent me another photo of her husband with Duff from Velvet Revolver and the setting was for sure at NAMM (see his badge) - will attach that photo as well. (notice in the back ground everyone has lanyards on that you need at NAMM, etc) So I am guessing that these were taken the same time?

This guy looks like he used self tanner - and would Bono wear that earring? And no Bono freckles - this guy looks liek he has a mole or zit where Bono's freckles are. And the nose? Not even!

Anyway, I know you PLEBA girls will help me get to the bottom of this!

He even signed AUTOGRAPHS! Poor girl thinks she met Bono!

definately NOT Bono.the rosary is fake aswell, Bono's rosary is all black..
the goatee of the guy looks trimmed.. Bono doesn't trim his beard.. he just lets it grow and shaves if he wants to..
the jacket is different from all the jackets I've seen Bono wearing..

what was the date of these pics?

more:
the neck is WAY too fat and has no clear adam's apple
the hair is BLACK, and Bono's al-ways has a reddish glow
Bono's ears are WAY different, and he always wears a simple ring with one diamond thingy in the right ear, and the diamond hoop in the left... and not a cross..
the guy's way too yellow... and *dont kick me* I think he's even shorter than Bono..

 

[Gluey]

Oh dear. They got sucked in big time....

 

[redkat]

not Bono

plus his hair is much shorter now

 

[Souly]

Ahahaha. That guy's funny.

 

[AtomicLemon]

NAMM was in January ..
I emailed her about an hout ago and said, You DO know that's not Bono, right?

I haven't heard back ...

Poor thing's in denial.

 

[AtomicLemon]

yeah - the phtos were taken in January, but she just found out I was a U2 fan, so that's why she sent them. She was so excited - I feel kind of bad for her.

 

[AtomicLemon]

Can't believe a guy was at NAMM posing as Bono and signing stuff - What nerve. You would think because of all the industry people that were there he would have gotten laughed out of the place.

sorry to be mean or anything, but how long has she been a U2 fan???
if not very long, I can understand, but if you're a longtime fan, than it should be clear that this ain't Bono... or is it just me?

 

[sami0201]

That's DEFINITELY not Bono. What a jerk for pretending to be.

But that is Duff.

 

[Thora]

That's too bad that your friend got fooled. Definitely NOT Bono at all. You're right, Bono would not wear those earrings at all.

 

[waynetravis]

when i saw the first pic i thought it was Bono.

when i saw the second pic i was like

 

[Galeongirl]

does your friend have pics of the autograph? if so, I'm curious if the guy copies Bono's ... if so. can we sue him for plagiarism?

 

[nikkyjade]

whahahaha!

im sorry

SO not Bono!

whats the deal with the blotchy fake tan?!

 

[IwantBono]

That is NOT Bono. Slight resemblance, though. A look-alike, but no such a good one. At least get the same rosary beads, man.

 

[pgv]

thats so not bono and haha he looks so much like my uncle its uncanny.
(i think thats a real shitty thing to do, actually going round pretending to be bono. and signing things..!? cmon!)

 

[pgv]

its the mouth..the eyes and hair could maybe pass for bono at a push. but bono has fab lips. and that dude doesnt. end of!

 

[bonocomet]

Yeah not even..... I have nothing against lookalikes who are upfront about the fact that they are just a lookalike having some fun... but to actually pretend to BE him..... so wrong....

 

[JCOSTER]

definately not, theres a thread on here somewhere about Bono look alikes and that guy is in there (I think)

 

[bonocomet]

Yes, I recognized him too JCoster... by his weird nose....

 

[u2granny]

I think I look more like Bono than whoever that is.

 

[youvedonewhat]

I think I look more like Bono than whoever that is.

 

[one4u2]

Not even close

 

[BAW]

That is Pavel from the the U2 tribute band Desire based in San Diego.

And it's not the first time he's done this.

 

[bonocomet]

Based in SD? And I've never even heard of them.... no loss I guess...

 

[youvedonewhat]

That is so not the B! For a start the nose is wrong, it's sorta a 'bum' nose Bono's hooter is more defined. And the jaw is too square, the mouth is totally not the fine B mouth and we should know, we've studied it long enough,

So, I go along w/everyone else....Not Bono...

That sucks .

P.S. He's ugly too.

P.P.S. At least they met Duff - who's looking pretty good I think .

 

[Bono Mot]

First thing I thought was, "That ain't Bono's righteous schnoz!" and the second thing was "The lips are all wrong!"

But Duff...there is that!

 

[Molly Bloom]

nope...
hmm does he actually try to pass himself off as bono??
he looks more like robert deniro
