So the girls who don't know how to play guitar just don't/shouldn't have another option to get on stage?
The few retards who made a mess when dancing with Bono should not penalize or prevent the rest of us more mature folks from dancing with him.
And suppose someone gets pulled to play guitar, and they play real shite, or just act afool - that would be overdone/tacky/boring to those who didnt enjoy the exchange. So therefore, should this be done away with too?
Thank goodness we are not the decision makers! LOL!
Apparently, U2 does think women should be onstage to dance, sing, play, etc.. else they would not have picked female musicians to be the opening act.

I might point out that the guys "don't have any other option" to get on stage either! It bugs me when people say that giving both sexes an equal chance is sexist because it was easier for women. Go ahead and say that it is Bono's choice who he brings on stage and why, but don't say that it's sexist for him NOT to treat women differently from men!

Good point, Guy With the Stuff...
That's why the dancing should stay!

I don't think Bono wants to dance with guys
I have to laugh at people worrying about girls "molesting" poor ol' Bono

Damn Arun, don't hate the player, hate the game. Just cuz you aren't a lady and just because some haven't acted like ladies in the past doesn't mean that ladies shouldn't get a little taste of heaven. I mean I'm kinda bitter because oh my *ahem* vertically enhanced status I will probbaly never get to dance with the man myself, but it doesn't mean that I don't want the chance to. It's the hope that adds excitement.

Oh for the sweet love of God, would you people PLEASE stop encouraging a repeat performance of this in Vegas.
Glad to see you're feeling better Arun.

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS [No thanks to Propaganda - BLAH!]
Thanks for spending your hard earned cash on a rock show. ~ Bono, Houston, 4-2-01
I'm sorry but if you had the guts to be this sexist then have the guts to swallow this one.
At least we made better use of our time.
So guys don't molest him, but from your logic then you shouldn't have been up there. Cause you were just wasting time.

Ouch.
Back off girls. This thread, i'm sure is meant to be taken with a grain of salt. Though it may appear to the contrary, he's not a sexist or a jerk, so don't go and take low blows at him. I was only joking in my post when i called him a sexist
Lighten up.
By the way mbi16, i'd like to see you get up in front of thousands of people and play guitar proficiently. At least he had the balls to go up there and try. And in my opinion, Arun certainly redeemed himself and made the situation rather entertaining.

I may be an expert at translating the language of the idiot, but this one's got me stumped... Little help with what he means by this?
He started this thread purposely to piss people off.
He is a nice guy.
But you suck Arun.

I'll vote with the crowd that would rather see someone playing the guitar poorly instead of seeing some girl molest Bono poorly.
Still, what I'd really like to see is a string quartet being pulled up to play on The Unforgettable Fire.

Bono likes being molested, back off
It's cool when Bono brings anyone on stage, regardless of the reason, because that person represents everyone else in the arena who would like to be up there. True, it is cooler when the people who are pulled on stage actually can and do deliver. One of the best examples of this was Chicago#1 on the first leg. Jonathan got brought up on stage as "guest pianist" on <i>Stay</i> and was great(hell of a lot harder than strumming <i>People Get Ready</i> or <i>Knockin' on Heaven's Door</i> on guitar). On that same night Bono also brought a girl up to belly dance, who was also great(hell of a lot harder than rolling around on the ground with Bono...though not quite as fun). Even when the people brought on stage can't deliver(Arun), it's still entertaining. Like when Garbage's amp blew during Chicago#2 on this leg. It was fecking hilariuos.
I thought I was the only one.
Listen I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I was and still am completely psyched that Arun got on stage. And I am for anyone that gets on stage, regardless of what they do up there. I just love the fact that the band and Bono try to connect with fans during their concert. By bringing a fan up they are not only connecting with the particular fan but everyone else who all wish they were up there.
To now rate what is considered valuable time on stage and what fans can or can't do when they get their moment in the sun is a bit ridiculous. And if anyone has to determine when things cross the border it's the band or Bono. He obviously doesn't seem to care cause he's been doing it since ZooTV. If anything everyone should be given a fair chance to get up there regardless if they have a talent or not. Considering that both guys and girls have been up it seems to me that this is more than fair.
So I mean please if you're gonna make such a remark live up to it.

OK you two smarty pants..
I agree w/you..
Its Bono's call if a fan is inbounds play or not.
If Bono chooses to improvise, change lyrics asks a fan to hoist him in the air,as HE DID OF ME- that is his call,and no one elses.
So were in agreement I won't refer to you in any derogatory name as you as you two did to me,
and I do agree that fan connections are genderless and that is Bonos call..
You want him tellin girls at Live Aid,San Pauloa,Sydney AND Austin that their connections on stage were less significant bcuz of their gender, I think not.
One last thing -fans on stage have been going on the ENTIRE U2 history more so during 80s.
Thank You

1.) I dont' miss wowy from the setlist
2.) I don't miss mysterious ways from the set list
3.) I think bono shoud do what he's been doing and pull people up to play and not girls to dance ( I'm biased on that one).
4.) bono's voice has degraded over the years
5.) edge's hairline has receded over the years
6.) adam's willie is probably not as impressive as it used to be
7.) larry ..well he still looks like he' s 20

I'm sorry, but I don't see where I referred to you or anyone in a derogatory name. If you mean when I quoted Guy With The Stuff I didn't quote it cause he called you an idiot but rather because he also couldn't understand what you were saying. My bad I should have cut that out, I see where could have gotten confused. My apologies.
I'm glad we agree, and the only reason I said ZooTV was cause it popped in my head this quote from Bono I read about how every night he would bring a girl up on stage to dance with, I think, during love is blindness. So every night he would fall in love with a stranger, or something to that extent. But you're right he has brought them up from the begining.
Again my apologies, it was not intended.

I just saw your post and I think if you read my later response to DB9 you'll see I'm in complete agreement with you. And I'm not saying that Arun is sexist just the comment, we all have brain farts and are allowed to. Anyways I think the rest, including my feelings towards Arun, are self explanatory if you read my later post, or earlier for that matter.
