Ask a U2 question you were always too afraid to ask

[ladywithspinninghead]

haha, sorry...I hadn't even read the quote above...I just went to see what you had addressed me and the big bold lettering of "It's my birthday" caught my eye!

haha, my fault - sorry!!! I did think it was kind of strange that you mentionned it here, out of the blue ....I was just so stunned to learn those lyrics from the song that I didn't give it a 2nd thought! lol!

I believe the lyrics in the album sleeve say "Been around the back, been around the front."

What the hell is being sung in the background to Mofo? (Edge sings that part on the live version and maybe album version - don't know 'cuz I don't listen to album version!)!?

Little red something or others????

That's always stumped me....

Yes, Jordan was born on Bono's birthday. And it is my understanding that Eli was born on Aug. 21 which is Bono and Ali's anniversary.

Wasn't Eli born on the 18th? Bono's dad died on the 21st.

My question: why did Edge divorce and who instigated it? I've always wondered about this (it was before my "U2 time") and have not ever seen anything about it.

Why do U2 love me so much?

Why is it that whenever I go to a city they live in, they try to get a glimpse of me?

Why do they love my music so much?

Why do they try to go to all my live shows whenever I tour (every three or so years?)

Why do they listen to me everyday, boots, songs, remixes etc?

Why do they check the ouizyinterference site every day and post on the various forums there?

Why do they collect all my albums?

Why do they have me on video tape capturing my every move, so incase I ever break up they will have copies of the history of my band to reminisce with?

(I think something may be backwards here...)

Why was 11:00 Tick Tock left off Boy?

Why does Adam have a mic set up on previous tours even though he doesnt sing?

Why oh why!!

The website I refer to says Eli was born on August 17th.

Didn't Bono, Edge and Larry almost quit around the time of the October album because of thier christianity beliefs and Adam was a bit left out at this time but they all managed to wrk it out- or something like this, please correct me someone if I havn't got the story right

i think you are right...though the guy on U2 legends on vh1 said that Adam was the one that thought about leaving the group at the time.

Do Adam and/or Edge have Irish citizenship?

 

[follower]

Hey Bono, was really yours that pair of black boxing underpants thrown from the balcony of Copacabana Palace hotel in the last time you came to Rio, November 2000?

Or in a more serious note:

Hey guys, when will I see you again?

Adam has it, but I don?t think that Edge ever got it

cause he used to do backing vocals in the early days. But he stopped doing that I think around the war tour. But the mic was there for a couple of more years

Hasn't Edge been in Ireland since he was a baby (or very young child)? Wouldn't he have to have some sort of citizenship having lived in the country for so long?

Yay a ask the question you were afraid to ask thread.

Okay here's my question:

When did they record Jitterbug Baby, I just happened to find it, and I never heard it before.

I think it's from the Axtung Beibi Outtakes.

Okay, I have a silly question.

At the Irving Plaza club show in December 2000, Bono announced that Larry and Anne had had another child. It has been almost a year and a half and still no one seems to know if it was a boy or girl or the child's name! Does anyone know?

It's amazing how they could keep it a secret this long. Who knows, maybe Edge has 8 kids by now and we don't even know?

Here's the question which I'm sure you will all thank me for asking. I asked this once on here, and got two replies so different that neither could be deemed correct!

So here goes:

Mr Vox, what on earth are you mumbling under the guitar solo during the middle of If You Wear That Velvet Dress?

I can't check this right now, but I believe he is mumbling some of the lyrics.

Anyone born in Wales is automatically a British citizen.

Thanks for answering my question, AM.

I would think so too, otherwise, what citizenship would he be holding...British or Welsh?

As for my question, I believe someone brought this up in the past, but I wonder if any of them have cheated on their wives/partners?

I think I'm afraid to find out the answer to that!
