Great comments from everyone - yeah I think there's a lot that's dissimilar between U2 and Pink Floyd but there are certainly like Ai said, a lot of fans of both. I can def see Roger Waters not liking U2's music but David Gilmour probably being more open to it. I've always loved the atmospheric...

I've really discovered and gone deep into the music of Pink Floyd this summer and I've really come to love them, U2 being my favorite. I was wondering if there were any connections or interactions between the two bands? A quick Google search for "U2 and David Gilmour" shows that David Gilmour...

Sorry if this posted in the wrong forum! As a huge fan of the Alien movie series, it was wild to see a comparison of his upcoming Alien prequel "Prometheus" to The Joshua Tree of all things! Is he a fan of U2?: http://v2.prometheusnews.net/movie/lindelof-on-prometheus-and-ridley-scott/ I...

This is genuinely the funniest thread I have seen in a long time. There's probably a good reason this is the first time I'm seeing the pics of Bono contorting with the platform shoes, the awful plaid shirt, or him smoking with the sweater!

myself also being a foo fighters fan, here's some positive connections between U2 and the FFs: 1 (djerdap originally found this, kudos to him :)) Dave Grohl is a big fan of U2's Live Show 2. Dave mentions All That You Can't Leave Behind as his "Sunday morning record": Dave Grohl's Session...

I guess I just had too much free time! Jobs, like Bono, makes for compelling reading material. There's a couple more mentions of Bono in the book, one of them involving arguments between him and Steve over business matters. It's fascinating that Bono was able to get so close to Jobs. Jobs is...

Was wondering if anyone has read the new Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson? There's a few mentions of U2 and Bono and a couple gems of a story in the book, like how Bono took Jonathan Ive, Apple's head designer, out for a beer in Dublin to discuss the look of the U2 ipod and both of...

Haha, boredom does wonders. Thank you ! :)

I had heard that Bono told Moby he loved Animal Rights but didn't know that Bono also encouraged Moby to keep up the fight. No wonder they're such good friends. I've read that Moby considers Achtung Baby his favorite album of the last 25 years as well. Moby has also considered producing U2...

If it has information about that tiny appearance then really, yeah, it is. I'm pretty blown away! Thanks so much again :)

Is that Larry leaning on the scaffolding inbetween Bono and Dylan?!

Bob has his full on cranky face cranked up for sure! Very very interesting, this would place Bob just a little before "Love & Theft" came out. Sure would love to hear what they played but seems like this was a private gig.

Thank you so much as always Bonocomet! I've never seen this one, when/where was this taken?

lol very true - I stand corrected.

LOL at the hip hop beats. Big time LOL. Seems a little weird that they're playing a drum sample off a laptop - I mean couldn't they just have someone else play a djembe or something?

I bet you some of the younger Usher/Lady Gaga crowd are totally thinking, "What is this country music band doing here?"

You called 1/2 of it.

The Bill Clinton Foundation must LOVE Sigur Ros - Hoppipola is playing now and another promo used another SR song.

:up:

Ah she's walkin' the B-Stage just like the elevation tour...

Hahaha Juanes es el mejor! Glad you like his music too!

I guess for Lady Gaga it's toned down!

sorry, couldn't resist.

A very weird and specific request. I saw Moby promoting his new album/photo book "Destroyed" and was curious if there's any pics of Bono or U2 with Moby. Bono once even named Moby the 5th member of U2! (link) I was also wondering if there's any pics of Bono with Bob Dylan anytime after...

Usher covering Joe Cocker's cover of "With A Little Help..." pretty cool.
