Yeah, the cell phone thing was kind of weird 
(I still wonder if there was something more to it than that) , but I think "do not throw stuff at band" is kind of a no brainer

I guess I'd better be careful next month.
I told my friend I'd call her so she could listen in on a few songs.girlcalledparty

Some chick threw her bra onstage at the second Philly show last month. Bono just said, "Oh my goodness" and picked it up like he was grossed out and threw it back at her. It was a riot.

We were given red balloons at Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon. There were people throwing them to the stage and it didn’t upset Bono, he just kicked them off. I brought some of those balloons home.

it's a shame many fans don't realize that getting something thrown at them isn't exactly the most respectful thing to do.
people pay hundreds of dollars to see them play, and yet people throw who knows what at them for who knows what reason. I'm grateful that Bono actually has a sense of humor the majority of the time and is able to be so patient about stuff like that
imagine if water wasn't thrown at them but some other clear substance. sometimes I get so worried for Bono and the boys....

Yes, he did say "All I want is fucking you man" and he pointed at him when he said it.

U2SJ said:The girl that threw the water at Bono last nite in Oakland, was TAKEN OUT OF THE ELLIPSE with 2 top U2 security in front of her and 2 in back of her, her and her husband were both taken out, she was hysterically crying....so I think its safe to say, Bono does not like having things thrown at him, he was VERY angry last nite.
GREAT!!!!!!! The dumb bitch got what she deserved.
DON"T THROW THINGS AT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

Personally I know I wouldn't want someone to throw stuff at me if I was on the stage! It's dangerous and completely disrespectful. Oh and that's hilarious with what his reaction was to the bra! I wonder at times if people who do that actually respect themselves.

He was definitely Out of Control. I don’t think that it will appear on the DVD.

If Bono threw his undergarments out into the crowd, it would probably end up on e-bay, or gold-plated... what a double standard
throwing things at the band=not cool

And at the live from Sydney video when Bono walks on the catwalk before the start of the Streets everyone throws little things like caps from bottles from the one side of the catwalk to the other...It's really
cool...
Right now I remembered this chick from the first L.A. shows...
What did she have in her head..?
I guess nothing...

And not just by throwing things at them onstage, either...but that's a whole other discussion for another time.
Yes, I would love to have a free, open, frank, mature conversation about that.
Change cabs twice, then come after midnight to 1-2-4 Derillo Street -- ask for Mo and tell him Schultze sent you. I will be wearing a grey beret and reading a copy of "The Screwtape Letters." You will say, "I am allergic to red wine," to which I will reply, "But I bet you'll drink it anyway."

I think the poor guy wrote down the whole story somewhere on this forum, he had a camera phone and was holding it up, among 2000 other people, to take a pic, and Bono went apeshit on him, like he was bullshitting on the phone instead of getting into the music. And then I think he took it from the guy, and later gave it back and made some sort of apologetic gesture, and the poor guy was still trying to gesture to him that he was taking a photo and not having a conversation. With the nonsense that goes on that has beans to do with the music, I do wonder why Bon chose to get excited about this one guy -- maybe he thought he was a Sinn Fein supporter, he never gets that right!!

There is a double standard but throwing things at the B-man is not nice

That's for a slip and fall, right?
I saw Bono fall out the stage at the first Elevation tour concert, in FLorida... he was walking backwards... and puff! he wasn't longer in the stage! everybody was like
but he didn't stop signing down there and he climbed back. The edge was playing the guittar but he was looking at bono. I have to recognize that I'm not a good person when i see someone falling and when I see bono again on the stage (and well) I giggled and I have to say that bono almost blind me when he was using that light proyector while "bullet the blue sky"
i heard about the water-throwing incident from someone at the show and heard it was the guy who threw the water--and that basically ALL of U2's bodyguards dove into the ellipse and removed them, and Bono pointed at them to signal where they were.
It's so awful that people do this kind of stuff.
I was laughing remembering the bra incident. Bono did indeed pick it up like it was a rotting animal carcass and threw it back.

I would feel bad if Bono treated my bra like nuclear waste

Holy hell.....a girl crawls out of the sick bed and finds out she's missed all the good stuff.
Hey Miro! I guess I won't ask how the rest of the tour is going....it's pretty obvious it's action packed.......
