"It's Evolution Baby!"

Well, since we DON'T know him, we will never know. I wasn't just going by stage personas, I was going by interviews and video clips and pics and things he's done over time. But really, none of us know him personally so we can't accurately say.

All of 'em. It's the same guy underneath.

Ok last thing! EXACTLY! So I don't get it when people in the past have said "He wasn't the same man" blah blah stuff. Its like... Oh my!"

Just as I don't know for sure, neither do you, so you can't say for sure he was 'the same man underneath blah blah.' I get sick when people say that, it's like they're trying to be sanctimonious or trying to prove they are somehow a 'better person' by going 'looks don't matter' and all that garbage. Remember what Edge said "A great bunch of guys" that has to tell you something. He is one, but he is not the same! Truthfully, NONE of us know this for sure, so it's really crazy to fight over something that cannot be proven right or wrong.

Best Looks:
- JT/R&H - he did look "cool" then
- Elevation - very "real" appearance now - and still cool
- AB/Zooropa- gotta love "The Fly"!
[/list=a]
Best Clothes:
- AB/Zooropa - like I said, ya gotta love The Fly!
- Elevation - very natural look, yet "professional."
- JT/R&H - that "hippy rock star" worked on him.[/list=a]
Best Hair:
- JT/R&H - Bono is one of the few men that looks good with long hair (see Fabio for a BAD example).
- AB/Zooropa- Still long, but not as "greasy" looking as the JT era. A nice look for him.
- Elevation - seems his most natural style.[/list=a]
Best Personality:
- Elevation - Bono at his best. He's not preaching to us, he's not being ironic. But he is funny, he is sincere and he's doing a LOT of good for the world, in terms of music and charity.
- AB/Zooropa - A very funny personality, although a bit fake and a bit top-heavy with the irony.
- JT/R&H - a real personality, but too preachy and "God-like". Not as accessible as the current Bono.[/list=a]
Best Voice:
- JT/R&H - Perhaps Bono's best vocal era, especially on R&H - very rich, powerful, passionate vocals.
- Elevation - The best Bono's voice has sounded in a decade. Yes, there are some "off nights", but he had them in the JT era too. He hit notes on ATYCLB that I haven't heard him hit in years! Real singing, not screaming. Good stuff!
- UF - a bit too much screaming, but finally Bono is on key and sounding good. It was this album that turned me from a person who enjoyed U2 to a fanatic - and it had a lot to do with Bono's vocals. [/list=a]

Think about it- would JT Bono ever have shaved his head? I think not! Would UF Bono have french kissed Liam Gallagher, especially in front of a photographer? Would October Bono have worn dark shades, smoked cigars and acted cocky? No way. Would War Bono have hung out in raunchy bars and passed out on bathroom floors? He wouldn't.
