does edge smoke?

[babyman]

i've never seen edge smoking, i know all the other members are smokers, is edge a smoker too?

 

[BVS]

I think they all smoke. I've never seen Edge smoke, but I've heard interviews where he's lit up.

Here's an excerpt from the Zoo TV tour book:

"BP: WHAT'S IN YOUR POCKETS?

Larry: Buttons for opening my gate (empties pockets) Lipsil, wallet, packet of Silk Cut cigarettes-nurses cigarettes! - homeopathic gear for sore throats, lighter, penknife.

Bono: I have no pockets.

Adam: A load of phone numbers. Whose? Nah, I'm not telling.

Edge: I don't have any in my trousers. In my coat (pulls everything out) there's my Gitanes(cigarettes), my Zippo, my keys and an awful lot of guitar picks. I pick them up everytime I leave rehearsal. I never put them back so on a given day it could be anything from ten to about fifty 'cos they just build up. I sometimes think they breed in there. "

Hey Edge! Toss me some of your guitar picks man!

Is this an example of ZOOTV irony? Cigarettes and sore throat medicine? Homoepathic medicine yet?!

 

[madonna's child]

very true indeed, martha.

I love that BP interview. "A giraffe. Why? Cause then you'd met other giraffes."

Maybe it was just a Zoo TV thing. I have an interview from Zoo TV and he's smoking. So is Bono.

 

[Schmeg]

Flanagan mentioned tham all smoking, didn't he?

 

[Bunbury]

They all smoke, enough said

 

[Axver]

To all members of the band: STOP SMOKING!

naaaaaaah, edge, throw away this cigarette!!...i was hoping he wasn't a smoker...TO ALL OF YOU, GIVE IT UP!!

 

[zoopop]

Everyone was a smoker during Zoo TV

 

[~LadyLemon~]

To all members of the band: STOP SMOKING!

Believe me, it's not as easy as you think.

 

[Axver]

That doesn't mean they should keep at it, though. They shouldn't have even started, especially not Bono. Surely he knew it wasn't good for his voice!

Smokings cool and you all know it

 

[babyman]

cool? destroying the health? hmmmmm

 

[Adams_Girl97]

I remember Adam saying in an interview in 02 after stating that in his time off he was going to try and cut down or even quit. He said that the reason most of them (especially himself) still smoked was that in the environment of the studio when your just hanging out in between things smoking just gave you something to do.

I wonder though if Edge and Larry still smoke? cause I imagine they don't anymore, or if they just smoke occasionally nowadays.

 

[Numbology]

I don't think Edge was smoking cigarettes on that picture

 

[Rachel D.]

I read an article from 2000 where the journalist was in the studio and described witnessing Larry clean out an ashtray before lighting up a cigarette. He won't eat meat but he'll smoke? That sure makes alot of sense.
I don't understand why they (or anyone else) would even start smoking in the first place.

Yeah, it's really cool to smell like a crematorium, to have stained teeth and fingers, premature wrinkles and a voice like Marge Simpson's sisters. Girls just go wild over guys with emphysema! And as for weight loss...hey yeah, when they remove your lung, that's a good five pounds right there!

 

[sue4u2]

No time to finish what I was going to say, time to go smoke I mean go home...so ...

 

[Zoocoustic]

cool? destroying the health? hmmmmm

Agreed, and yet practically everyone gets drunk on a regular basis and where's the health concern there?

I say, give people the freedom to kill themselves if they want. (please note my smilie)

I enjoyed that post! So true.

 

[AdamsPoptart]

*cough cough* Time to quit..

 

[NameOfLove19]

Mmmmmmyup. Smoking ain't too cool for people in the music business. Especially singers. *coughcougheventhoughthisisanEdgethreadBONO*

 

[david]

[RickFly]

This thread with all the anti-smoking is extremely funny.
