Great U2 quotes

[djerdap]

Found some fantastic quotes by the band. I know there are threads like this but you have to read this:

Larry: If you look at the cover of The Joshua Tree you see 4 very unhappy men.What nobody realizes is that it was minus 20 out there.We were freezing! Put any bastard out there and see if he's happy.

Interviewer: Do u consider yourself a good dancer,Bono?
Bono: I dance much better horizontally than vertically.

My favorite:
Interviewer: Why a lemon?
Reply: Why NOT a lemon?

Bono: Is this rock and roll? How the fuck would I know? (Until the End of the World ending, Wembley Stadium, August 11th 1993)

Fan named Matt: (As a fellow fan prepares to take a picture of him with Larry)
"You know Larry, I'm a drummer in a band too."
Larry: (Looks at fan and shrugs, smiling pleasantly toward the camera)
"Well, Matt, we all have our problems." (After a PopMart gig)

C'mon guys, write some of the quotes you know.

Something on MTV a few months ago, I don't remember exactly what...

Interviewer: What was your longest tour?
Larry: ZOO TV; 2 and a half years with an album in the middle.
Interviewer: And the most tiring tour?
Larry: ZOO TV... two and a half years with an album in the middle.
(discret laughs by Bono, Edge and Adam)

'They know that they can't dance'

I was watching footage of a Scissor Sisters gig the other day, and the camera cuts to part of the crowd and sure enough, there's Bono bopping away. The most out of time, awkward looking dancer......

 

[corianderstem]

Wasn't there a quote years ago discussing religion, something about how they joked they were members of the Frisbeetarian Order, and they believed when you died, your soul gets stuck up on a roof and no one can get it down?

 

[Axver]

Interviewer: Edge, are you a virgin?
Edge: Of course I am!
Interviewer: Then how come you have children?

"Love like you have never been hurt , dance like ther is no one watching" Bono

"Everyone argue then we do what I say" Bono 1987

 

[OnFire]

If Punk died when Sham 69 got NF'd at gig after gig, Post Punk died with Ian (Curtis) and was reborn with Bono as the new Rock and Roll. Tony Wilson

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Tony Wilson!

MTV's Leaving nothing behind special, recorded around the time of Elevation tour.

"The music will tell you where to go." - Edge, on making albums

"When we played together in a room, sparks went off." - Bono, on the early years

"As hard as it can get, there's still moments where the four of us can shut out the world." - Adam

Bass players get the weirdest fans. I tend to get the bespectacled M.I.T. students. Bono gets the poets. And Larry, unfortunately, gets the girls. We should have gotten a Ringo
-Edge, U2 at the End of the World

Q: If you were an animal, which animal would you be?
Adam: A giraffe. Why? 'Cos then you'd meet other giraffes.
<BP Fallon interview>

Kurt Loder: Surely there's more to it than that
Larry: Don't call me Shirley
< MTV interview>

"Men should not be forced to wear pants when it's not cold." -Adam

It costs a fortune to look this trashy- Bono

I have that interview on tape it's so funny

 

[uwwedoogie]

From U2 Uncovered:

Cat Dealy (Interviewer): When Bono is singing SYCMOYO, he is obviously very emotional thinking about his father, and the death of his father... when doing such a song like that when Bono is in that state what are you thinking about?

Larry: Staying In Time...

U2 did a chat with.....oh geez, I want to say MSN, but I'm not sure....well, someone a few years ago around the time of Vertigo. It was utterly wall-to-wall hilarious. Does anyone remember this?

 

[Carmelu2fan]

No , I wish I did

 

[Carmelu2fan]

In the meantime another Bono quote"Overcomming my dad telling me I would never amount to anything is what has made me the Megalomaniac you see today"

time flies......

"Love like you have never been hurt , dance like ther is no one watching" Bono

That's not a Bono quote.

 

[starvinmarvin]

"Love like you have never been hurt , dance like ther is no one watching" Bono

I've seen that one before too - on a poster on my mother in law's wall. It's just one of those generic, feel good, middle-aged Chicken Soup For The Soul kind of sayings
